Automated Construction Equipment Tracking Using Bluetooth IoT
Smart IoT solutions help you increase productivity on the construction sites, and free job site workers from asset tracking tasks.
You can fully automate construction equipment tracking with the
Bluetooth asset tracking system.
Use BLE tags on the assets, and either a mobile app or an IoT gateway for the data transfer.
BLE tags can be read by a smartphone at a distance, and do not require scanning.
A job site or a yard foreman record equipment that you have on a job site or in the yard with one click in the mobile app. This ability
gives you a big speed and productivity advantage over the QR codes.
Or perhaps you do not want job site employees to do any extra work for construction equipment tracking.
If this is the case, you can ditch a mobile app and use
a
Bluetooth IoT gateway. A gateway detects
construction assets tagged with the BLE tags
and sends updates to the cloud software - no employees participation is required.
You get real time reports on the real time assets location,
assets movement history, usage report, and alerts on missing or misplaced equipment.
