RTLS for Asset Tracking to Reduce Costs & Improve Operations in Tech Labs

In today’s fast-paced technology lab environments, real-time asset tracking is critical. Technology labs deal with high-value equipment, prototypes, and strict compliance requirements. Losing track of assets leads to inefficiencies, increased costs, and potential risks. This is where Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) come in, providing seamless tracking and management of lab assets. By leveraging cutting-edge BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) and UWB (Ultra-Wideband) technologies, RTLS ensures precise tracking with minimal infrastructure investment.

Atoll Solutions Pvt Ltd offers Kinesis RTLS, a state-of-the-art tracking solution designed to optimize lab operations and enhance efficiency.

Understanding BLE and UWB-Based RTLS

BLE and UWB are two advanced tracking technologies used in RTLS solutions for technology labs.

• BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy): BLE-based RTLS uses small, battery-powered tags that communicate with Bluetooth-enabled access points to determine location. It is cost-effective and suitable for labs that require Zone-level accuracy.
• UWB (Ultra-Wideband): UWB offers superior precision, down to a few centimeters. It operates on a different frequency, ensuring minimal interference and providing real-time, high-accuracy tracking.

With the right combination of these technologies, labs can achieve seamless tracking without adding significant infrastructure costs. Connect with us to know what works for you!

Problem Statement: Challenges Faced in Technology Labs

Despite technological advancements, technology labs still face significant tracking and management challenges:

1. Asset Misplacement: Critical lab equipment, prototypes, and testing tools are often misplaced, leading to delays and inefficiencies.
2. Compliance Issues: Labs need to keep track of where their equipment is and ensure it is stored or used correctly.
3. High Operational Costs: Manual tracking methods consume time and resources, increasing operational expenses.
4. Security Risks: Untracked assets are vulnerable to theft or mismanagement.
5. Limited Infrastructure Compatibility: Traditional tracking solutions often require extensive additional infrastructure, making them costly and complex to deploy.
