Automated Asset Tracking Using BLE & IoT Technologies

Problem: We cannot rely on company employees for asset tracking - how can we automate the process so that field employees won't need to do any manual scanning and data recording.

QR Inventory Solution: Use IoT asset tracking system that allows you to automatically monitor assets and inventory in designated locations without any employee particpation. A Bluetooth IoT gateway, that can be based on Android or iOS devices, scans for assets tagged with the BLE tags and report updates to a centralized cloud system at pre-set time intervals. Create custom alerts, and receive immediate notification on missing and misplaced assets.
