Wireless Personnel and Asset Tracking
Monitoring and managing enterprise assets in real-time is a huge task and has been basically impossible until today on a large scale. New innovations and extended capabilities of low power wireless communication technology are the key factors enabling real-time asset tracking and management in almost any field and for any purpose.
LifeStyle Networks provided a solution for locating and tracking asset and personnel within a designated area. Each asset or personnel has a small tag which helps monitoring and tracking in real time. Few benefits of using IP-based asset tracking and management are mentioned below:
Benefits of Asset tracking:
- Locate equipment instantly.
- Reduce cost through optimizing equipment purchase through usage patterns.
- Reduce theft through monitoring location and movement of equipment.
- Increase Productivity.
- Easy installation, no cabling
- No need for on-site asset tracking, all done remotely.
- No limitation on tracked wireless tags.
- Low-cost maintenance
- Scalable(from small to enterprise size solutions)
Benefits of Personnel Tracking:
- Locate the staff in times of emergency.
- Allocate personnel optimally after analysis of current man power deployment through personnel tracking.
- Efficiency in use of human resources
Technology & architecture
The solution is loaded with RTLS (Real Time Locating Systems) which is fully
automated system that continually monitor the locations of assets and
personnel. This system detects the presence and location of the tags in real
time. RLTS supports any standard 802.11a/b/g network, fat and thin APs,
and mixed Wi-Fi vendor networks. Wi-Fi tags communicate using standard
802.11 communication protocols. This solution works with multiple vendor
and generation wireless networks, without the need to add proprietary
hardware.
Due to the better overall performance, RTLS does not require installation and
wiring of proprietary reader, exciter gates or antennas, but can rely on Wi-Fi
signal strength for better accuracy both indoors and outdoors.
- Enables True Enterprise Scalability
- Minimizes the network load
- 100% Tag and infrastructure management and visibility
- Tags Have the Best Possible Security Options
Utilization:
The ideal examples of utilizing such enterprise solution are:
- Equipment use
- Vehicles
- Machines
- Human beings
- Logistics
Asset tracking and management is gaining more and more value due to its
wide range of usability in different areas.
