Automated Construction Asset Management With Bluetooth And IoT

Make construction assets tracking fast, efficient, and error-free with the Bluetooth low energy (BLE) tags.


Use BLE beacon tags and a smartphone for tracking assets and materials that you use for each construction project. BLE tags are more efficient than QR codes for asset tracking. If you have high volume of materials and assets that you move in and out of the job sites daily, BLE tags will save you a lot of time and will increase your productivity.

You can opt for the company employees scanning assets to move them in and out of the yard or job site. However, unlike QR codes, BLE tags do not require an employee to handle each asset and scan each tag. Instead, they can add all nearby assets to the batch with one click in the mobile app.

You can also opt for a fully automated construction asset management system using IoT gateways instead of mobile phones. An IoT system works on its own and does not require job site workers to do anything extra.

Benefits Of Using QR Codes In Construction

Use QR codes on the construction sites to streamline inventory management, asset tracking and data collection.


QR Codes are a natural fit for the construction industry and contractors (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, etc.). These are industries with the dispersed field workforce. Most of the work is conducted on the multiple job sites. Tools and inventory are stored on the service trucks, as well as in the warehouse, and are used in the field, on the job sites. Job site employees do not have ready access to the computers or wifi connection. Smartphones and QR codes provide a good replacement.

QR codes give field employees a reliable way to access and record inventory and asset info. By scanning a QR code using a mobile app on a smartphone, job site technicians can access and update data in real time.

A QR code system helps construction companies create a real time communication between the job sites and the office. Everyone has an access to the same live information.
