3 Connected Technologies That Transform Asset Tracking

The rapid pace of today’s business world is seemingly speeding up with every day that passes. Because of that, the importance of efficiently managing and tracking assets is as great as ever. A streamlined asset tracking process provides businesses with invaluable insights into their equipment, inventory, and any other resources in real-time. How does one streamline these processes, though? Here’s a hint: it’s not through manual power. Modern industries need to leverage modern technologies, which means automation is a crucial player when it comes to enhancing asset tracking procedures. Of the many pieces of automation available today, the following three have separated themselves as some of top options when it comes to asset tracking. 

• Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Technology – RFID is a popular, commonly used technology for asset tracking processes. It works in a system that monitors and manages assets by utilizing small tags that can be attached to items. Zebra’s RFID devices are designed to precisely locate your items and assets without negatively affecting efficiency or ease of use. 
• Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Technology – Equipment monitoring in retail, warehouses, healthcare, and manufacturing facilities is crucial. Because of that, leveraging technologies like BLE can prove to be an efficient and cost-effective solution. Most commonly, they use small beacons that send signals to receivers, such as gateways, that are nearby. Along with that, some devices—like Zebra’s innovative MC9400 Series mobile computers—have built-in BLE technology to streamline asset tracking and other workflows through one, state-of-the-art device. 
• Asset Tracking Software – Ensuring your fixed asset management software runs as smoothly and efficiently as possible is a crucial step when enhancing asset tracking processes. With the RedBeam asset tracking software, you can seamlessly handle your critical assets and inventory on an accessible interface that diminishes tedious spreadsheets. This software keeps track of the location, status, department, information, and more of your fixed assets—assuring everything is accounted for.
