Realtime awareness with Bluetooth
The requirements of the asset tracking market are rapidly evolving and difficult to navigate. In order to handle such a broad scope of requirements, it takes high-level expertise, a variety of solutions, and a reliable, robust ecosystem bringing together the required technologies at the right time.
BLE-based RTLS (Real-time locating systems) solutions are scalable to large volumes of tracked objects with high precision and lower tag cost compared to other positioning technologies. Unlike QR codes or RFID tags, Bluetooth tags don’t need to be actively scanned to be read. The continuous reading of Bluetooth signals allows a real-time awareness of the items, while other technologies usually just give a snapshot of the present.
onsemi, Unikie and CoreHW offer the complete solution
The joint efforts of onsemi, CoreHW and Unikie have resulted in an end-to-end solution with components that have been optimized to work together.
The solution leverages the BLE 5.2 compliant features in onsemi’s RSL15 chipset and combines them with Unikie’s localization software for calculating end-to-end position. This solution enables tags to be used for tracking objects or persons in defined closed spaces like warehouses, stores or other buildings. It can be used to achieve <1m accuracy and is scalable to large volumes of tracked objects while also reducing the amount of development effort and time-to-market.
