Background of the solution
At present, many companies in the market still rely on manual operations for asset management: traditional manual inventory needs to check and record the location of assets item by item, which is time-consuming and prone to omissions and errors, low efficiency and high investment costs. In addition, when assets are transferred or scrapped, manual updates of ledgers are prone to data lag, and there is a significant error between the account and the actual situation. Personnel cannot monitor the movement of assets in real time, and it is difficult to quickly respond to equipment loss or abnormal handling events, resulting in losses caused by asset loss, idleness or repeated purchases. If Bluetooth beacons are used as asset management solutions, efficiency can be greatly improved, management costs can be reduced, and asset status can be obtained in real time.
Introduction of the solution
This solution uses Shengrun Technology's Bluetooth beacon HY-234014P-V1, which is based on RSSI technology, has positioning and broadcasting functions, and has a built-in button battery. The battery life is more than five years, and the communication distance is up to 150m, which reduces the coverage cost. System architecture: Bluetooth beacon, Bluetooth gateway device, cloud server, terminal device (PC, mobile phone). The Bluetooth beacon uploads the tag data to the cloud server through the gateway (the gateway can upload the data to the cloud server through WIFI, network cable, data traffic, etc.). The location information of the beacon is calculated and analyzed by the server, and it can be viewed through the terminal device. The system can also be connected to the enterprise ERP, which makes management more convenient and quick.
Solution Features
1. Real-time positioning and tracking capabilities Full-process monitoring : Bluetooth tags can be installed on the surface of assets, and the location is broadcast in real time through low-power Bluetooth (BLE) signals, supporting full-process tracking from procurement, warehousing to allocation and scrapping .
In warehouses or production lines, by deploying Bluetooth gateways and beacons, the location of equipment can be quickly located, and the error range can be controlled.
Dynamic track recording :
Combined with positioning data, the system can draw asset movement trajectories, identify abnormal handling behaviors (such as unauthorized transfer out of the electronic fence area) and trigger alarms , reducing the risk of theft .
2. Replace manual work and achieve efficient management
Automated inventory: Traditional manual inventory requires item-by-item inspection, which is time-consuming and prone to errors; Bluetooth beacons can achieve asset inventory in seconds through batch scanning, increasing efficiency by more than 90%. Real-time data synchronization: Asset status (such as frequency of use, maintenance records) is automatically synchronized to the management platform to avoid information delays caused by manual entry.
3. Cost-effectiveness advantage
Low deployment cost: Bluetooth beacon devices are small in size and can be deployed on a large scale without wiring or renovation of existing buildings. For deployment methods, please refer to "How to Install BLE Positioning Beacon Application"
Convenient maintenance: The beacon can last for more than 5 years, supports anti-dismantling detection and wireless firmware remote upgrade, and reduces the frequency of manual inspections.
Implementation of the solution
The Bluetooth beacon asset management solution of this party has the characteristics of low cost, high flexibility, and real-time performance, which is especially suitable for complex indoor environments and scenarios with high efficiency requirements: such as:
Medical equipment management: Real-time monitoring of the location of instruments and equipment such as CT machines, ventilators, and wheelchairs to prevent misappropriation or loss.
Laboratory tool tracking: Precision instruments are bound to anti-tampering beacons, and abnormal movement will trigger background prompts or direct sound and light alarms.
Warehouse logistics scheduling: Through the linkage between Bluetooth tag carts and beacons, automatic cargo handling path planning can be realized.
