IoT Asset Tracking System by AHG

A QR code or barcode asset management system continues to be a great low-cost option for
keeping track of the assets without requiring too much work from the employees. Hundreds of
companies have been using our QR Inventory system (small-business...) since 2014. But what if having employees
scan QR codes each time they move assets between locations is not an option for your business?
An IoT asset tracking system is the answer!
It works on its own, without employees involvement, and gives you an accurate real time view of
the assets location and movement history.
An IoT asset tracking system is a part of the QR Inventory asset management platform, that uses Bluetooth low energy (BLE) tags and gateways to for a fully automated asset tracking 24/7.
In order to start using an IoT asset tracking system you need 3 components:
--BLE tags to tag trackable assets;
--BLE IoT gateways; and
--A cloud software.
A BLE tag is a small device that you can attach to something you want to keep track of. For
example equipment, tools, machinery. This tag sends out a Bluetooth low energy signal that can be picked up by IoT gateways.
An IoT gateway serves as a bridge between the assets tagged with the BLE tags and a cloud software. A gateway scans for assets at pre-determined time intervals and sends data to the cloud software for processing, storage and producing human-readable reports.
An IoT asset tracking system included in the QR Inventory software uses edge data gateways, which can process data in place and only send updates to the cloud. Edge data processing significantly reduce the amount of data transfer, and correspondingly significantly reduces your data connection bill.
You can configure many parameters on the IoT gateway, and set data processing rules.
An IoT asset tracking system not only help you track asset location in real time, but can instantly alert you on misplaced or missing assets. You can configure custom alerts, as well as other gateway parameters by logging directly into the gateway, or through a remote cloud server.
There are also specialty tags that can measure different parameters, such as temperature or
humidity, and pass this data to gateways. And gateways, in turn, pass this information to the
cloud.
Cloud software processes data received from the gateways, and creates reports that you can review on demand via a cloud software web interface. Examples of available reports are:
Real time assets location,
History of assets movement between locations,
How many hours or days an asset spent in each location,
Asset utilization (total time spent at each location during specified time period)
Missing assets, with number of hours missing and data on where it was seen last
Assets entrance and exit time for a specific location,
Temperature and humidity logs,
Alerts that were sent on misplaced assets or out of range conditions, and when the conditions
were corrected.
In summary, and IoT asset tracking system included in the QR Inventory software provides a flexible, cost-effective and efficient solution for the real time asset tracking and conditions monitoring.
