Asset Tracking FAQs
What Is Asset Tracking?
Asset tracking is the use of GPS or Bluetooth tags to monitor the location, movement and status of physical assets such as equipment, tools, trailers and containers. It shows you what you own, where each item is and whether it is in use, all from one dashboard, so nothing goes missing or sits idle unaccounted for.
How Does Asset Tracking Work?
Asset tracking works by attaching a small tag or tracker to each asset, which reports its location back to a central platform. GPS trackers use satellites to report from anywhere outdoors, while Bluetooth tags check in when they pass a fixed reader indoors. The platform then shows every asset on one live map.
What Is the Difference Between GPS, BLE and NFC Asset Tracking?
The difference between GPS, BLE and NFC asset tracking is range and environment. GPS trackers work outdoors over long distances, BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) beacons suit indoor tracking in places like warehouses, and NFC (Near Field Communication) uses a tap-to-scan check for tools and equipment. workM8 supports all three, so you can track any asset anywhere.
How Long Do Asset Tracker Batteries Last?
Asset tracker batteries last anywhere from several months to several years, depending on the device and how often it reports its location. Trackers that update every few seconds drain faster than those that report once or twice a day. Battery-powered GPS and BLE tags are built for assets that move without a power source.
What Should You Look for in an Asset Tracking System?
Look for an asset tracking system that supports both GPS and Bluetooth so you can track assets indoors and out, works with tags from any manufacturer, and runs on the same platform as the rest of your operation. workM8 tracks assets alongside vehicle tracking on one IoT platform, with no lock-in to a single hardware supplier.
