Asset and Indoor Monitoring Solutions

It depends on the accuracy you need and your budget. Bluetooth Low Energy is cost-effective and typically locates assets within a few meters or to room level. Ultra-Wideband offers much higher precision, down to tens of centimeters, but needs more infrastructure. Wi-Fi positioning can reuse existing access points with lower accuracy. RFID works well at checkpoints. We often combine technologies by zone.

Often, partly. Many enterprise Wi-Fi access points include BLE radios that can act as gateways or beacons, and some vendors provide location services on top of them. This can reduce hardware costs considerably. We assess your current infrastructure during the site survey and design additional anchors or gateways only where coverage or accuracy requires them.

Battery life depends on technology, update frequency and features. BLE tags and environmental sensors commonly run for years, while UWB tags with frequent updates may need charging or replacement sooner. We configure update rates per asset type, use motion-triggered reporting where possible and monitor battery levels centrally so replacements are planned.

We design for privacy from the start. Occupancy sensing uses technologies such as passive infrared, thermal or anonymous counting sensors that detect presence or counts without identifying people. Data is aggregated by room or zone. If staff tracking is ever considered, we help you address consent, works council and legal requirements, and recommend avoiding personal tracking unless clearly justified.

Yes. We integrate with building management systems using protocols such as BACnet and Modbus, or through vendor APIs, to read equipment status and, where approved, adjust setpoints based on occupancy and air quality. We also connect to maintenance systems to raise work orders automatically and to workplace booking tools to release unused rooms.

Costs depend on the area covered, accuracy required, number of tags and sensors, existing infrastructure and integrations. A pilot in one ward, floor or production area can often be running within weeks of hardware delivery. We provide a bill of materials and phased estimate after the site survey, so you can compare options before committing.

Often, yes. BLE gateways or Wi-Fi access points used for asset location can also collect readings from BLE environmental sensors, and LoRaWAN gateways can serve sensors across an entire building or campus. Sharing infrastructure lowers installation and maintenance costs. We design the network so that each use case gets the coverage and update rates it needs, and the platform stores location and environmental data side by side for combined analysis.

We choose tag form factors and mounting methods suited to each asset, such as adhesive, screw-mounted or embedded tags, and configure tamper or removal alerts where tags support them. The platform flags tags that have stopped reporting or have not moved for unusual periods, and exit zones can trigger alerts when tagged assets leave a building. Regular audit reports compare tagged assets with the asset register to catch gaps early.
