Enhanced real-time locating system:
IntelliTrack Inc. has released a new real-time
locating system (RTLS) with built-in temperature and motion-detection notifications. The
company has integrated its cloud-based asset
tracking software application, StratusAssets,
with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) asset beacons and cloud nodes to develop a single,
comprehensive solution that enables companies to have real-time visibility of the location
of their critical assets or inventory.
This RTLS is the first of its type and is ideal
for warehouses, distribution centers, and
other businesses looking to track and monitor
physical assets, the company says. By setting
up instant mobile notifications or logging into
the secure and encrypted StratusAssets application, users can visually see where assets are
located, when assets move, and if they move
at the wrong time or are moved by the wrong
owner or personnel.
Without an RTLS asset tracking solution,
companies must rely on static logs that have
to be updated manually. This turnkey solution, which includes beacons, readers, apps,
and cloud software, allows for rapid deployment. Intelli Track’s asset beacons can also be
read by most iOS and Android smartphones
and mobile computers, extending asset tracking capabilities across the entire enterprise.
Intelli Track’s RTLS application enables users
to identify the location and temperature of
hundreds of assets in a few seconds; view
detailed logs of when and who moved assets;
reduce the time spent looking for assets; gain
full visibility of their assets’ lifecycles; increase
accuracy of inventory counts; and reduce asset
loss. (Intelli Track Inc., www.intellitrack.net)
