Revolutionizing Asset Management With IoT: The QR Inventory Advantage (Case Study)
Asset management doesn't have to be a nightmare.
Traditional methods, relying on manual tracking and outdated spreadsheets, are notorious for their inaccuracies, inefficiencies, and costly mistakes.
But with the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT), businesses now have a powerful tool to transform their asset management process.
In this post, we'll explore how Bluetooth low energy (BLE) and IoT are reshaping asset management,
and showcase a real world success story with the QR Inventory software.
What is IoT, and Why Should You Care?
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of physical devices embedded with sensors, software, and connectivity.
It's the backbone of smart homes, connected cars, and even wearable fitness trackers. But its potential goes far beyond consumer gadgets –
IoT is revolutionizing how businesses operate, especially when it comes to asset and inventory management.
Imagine a world where your assets can "talk" to you.
IoT devices like RFID tags, Bluetooth beacons, and NFC tags make this a reality. They can transmit real-time data on asset location and condition,
giving you an unprecedented level of control and visibility.
Unmatched Accuracy Manual data entry is prone to errors. IoT eliminates this risk by automatically tracking assets in real time.
Assets at Your Fingertips Get a bird's-eye view of your assets across all locations, anytime, anywhere.
No more digging through spreadsheets or playing guessing games.

Bluetooth IoT gateways once,
and monitor your assets remotely without any human involvement.

BLE Asset Tracking Case Study: PositiveCarry, LLC
PositiveCarry, LLC, a delivery company, was facing a recurring nightmare – the loss of their expensive Zebra handheld scanners.
With each scanner costing $795, losing multiple scanners per year was a significant drain on resources.
A QR Inventory software stepped in, implementing a tailored solution using BLE tags and IoT gateway software installed on iPads.

Each Zebra scanner was equipped with a tag, and the company's trucks received Bluetooth tags placed on their key rings.

In the warehouse, Bluetooth gateways were installed for wide-range tracking, while exit gateways were placed at each door to monitor assets movement
in and out of the building. Exit gateways link assets leaving the warehouse to the truck which carries these assets.

The results were astonishing. In the year since implementing a QR Inventory software, PositiveCarry hasn't lost a single scanner.
The system not only tracks the scanners but also records which truck they leave and return with, adding another layer of accountability.
This has resulted in the significant cost savings and improved operational efficiency.
