Personnel & Asset Tracking

More beacons, improved management and user experience, reduced costs

Cassia’s personnel & asset tracking Bluetooth gateways are designed to increase the number of beacons used in personnel & asset tracking application scenarios while significantly reducing equipment and maintenance costs.

How are personnel & asset tracking Bluetooth beacons deployed?

Cassia’s patented long-range Bluetooth gateways allow for multiple device connections in broadcast mode (several hundred) which increases the beacon-to-router “connection density” in a given area. Cassia’s personnel & asset tracking Bluetooth gateways connect to more asset tracking beacons at a greater range. The result: more Bluetooth beacons and tags can be deployed, improving overall efficiency and at a lower cost.

How are personnel & asset tracking Bluetooth solution costs decreased?

Cassia’s long-range Bluetooth gateways provide seamless coverage and connectivity. Since fewer gateways are needed to cover large areas, the result is reduced deployment and equipment costs.  Additionally, Cassia’s edge Bluetooth routers reduce the processing costs for beacon data by moderating the amount of information that is sent to the cloud.

How are personnel & asset tracking Bluetooth management and user experience improved?

Personnel & Asset Tracking Bluetooth beacons and tags are being used in various emerging markets such as Smart Retail, Connected Healthcare, Smart City and IIoT. Cassia’s unique and comprehensive enterprise Bluetooth IoT products and solutions provide today’s leading solution providers with the tools they need to scale their locationing applications. Cassia’s IoT Access Controller, a power network management tool, allows end-users to remotely manage all BLE devices from one centralized dashboard. The result: reduces overall costs while providing the end-user with an improved asset tracking management experience.

Early deployments of asset tracking Bluetooth beacons had many limitations. Poor range and legacy management systems used to analyze beacon data were just some of the challenges facing end-users. Furthermore, the inconsistencies in detecting asset tracking Bluetooth beacons were a result of smartphone OS-based range capabilities, and signal fluctuations due to changes in environmental factors.

Depending on the environment and end goals for a beacon program, Cassia’s Bluetooth routers provide the end-user with seamless long-range coverage and multiple device connectivity. The IoT Access Controller provides a centralized dashboard for easy setup and management of hundreds of Cassia gateways and can monitor thousands of connected devices.

Asset tracking Bluetooth beacons are deployed in arenas, airports, concert halls, stadiums, schools, factories and more. Beacons gather “proximity” data and use this data in these environments. The cost to deploy and maintain asset tracking Bluetooth beacons, gateways and management systems in these scenarios can be expensive. By deploying a cost-effective management system using Cassia’s long-range Bluetooth gateways and IoT Access Controller, end-users benefit from improved efficiency as well as reduced deployment and equipment costs.

To successfully deploy multiple beacons and manage personnel and asset tracking gateways needed to cover large areas, end-users need long-range outdoor gateways and indoor edge Bluetooth routing capabilities as well as an easy to use remote management tool. Cassia’s  IoT Access Controller gathers data from end devices and provides the proximity and location services at a much lower cost. The result: improved efficiency and a greater ROI.
