Implementing IoT Solutions for Efficient Asset Tracking

Containers and pallets transported through remote areas with low connectivity and limited Global Positioning Systems(GPS) coverage are difficult to locate. Implementing IoT enabled asset management solutions providing real-time visibility of asset locations to the organizations on their computers or laptops. Instant notifications sent through IoT sensors enable organizations to update their customers on an asset’s date of delivery.

According to Forrester’s survey, 58% to 77% of material handling businesses consider tracking containers, objects, and personnel as the fundamental functions of IoT.

How IoT facilitates in Asset Tracking

IoT enabled smart asset monitoring enables businesses to identify, track, and locate the status of assets in real-time. RFID tags establish a relationship between devices and objects. Smart assets embedded with RFID tags and sensors enable manufacturers to track products from "floor to store" and even beyond. RFID tags and sensors capture granular data like the temperature at which items are stored, fluctuations surrounding product leakages, the time duration of products in the cargo, change in quantity, and more.

Our Recent Use Case in Hospital Asset Management Solution

We developed an IoT solution based on TIHM(Technology Integrated Healthcare Management) for dementia patients. We used proximity and motion sensors to detect patients taking their pills in time. We also used IoT fall detection sensors to deliver data to the patient’s family in case of a mishap. The patient’s families get access to patient’s fitness data through the wearables attached to their bodies. The patients can themselves control their health and wellbeing through insights and alerts shared on their smartphones.

Education Asset Tracking Software: Make classroom management for education providers easier with Oodles education asset tracking software. We enable schools to use IoT based asset tracking software to de-clutter classroom supplies, calculators, books easily and effectively. Our solution includes real-time asset tracking of laboratory equipment available within the university campus.
