Bluetooth Asset Tracking

Crownstones are also able to scan for any Bluetooth LE device in a building.

You can use off-the-shelf Bluetooth tags attached to your assets and the Crownstones communicate over Bluetooth mesh the location of those tags towards a gateway. Subsequently, we work together with partners or customers to integrate this asset tracking information in your system or cloud.

Benefits of asset tracking

This all depends also on update frequency and latency. Please, contact us with the specific requirements for your application.

How it works

Bluetooth tags

Bluetooth Low Energy tags are attached to high value assets. For example: wheelchairs, IV pumps in hospitals, and other devices.

Crownstones

Crownstones are configured with mesh security keys and a filter which defines which assets have to be tracked.

A Gateway

A hub is configured to obtain the encrypted the data from the Crownstones and to send this data upstream to the cloud.

Why Bluetooth LE for asset tracking?

Tags are very power-efficient. They are also low-priced and can be waterproof.

Bluetooth offers high accuracy compared to GPS. Allowing to track assets indoors.

BLE tags can have many shapes: buttons, tiles, cards, etc.
