What is Bluetooth BLE technology?
A beacon is a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) tag measuring a few square centimeters, capable of sending radio waves at regular intervals up to several dozen meters. These radio waves, like RFID, enable the transmission of information that will be picked up by other devices using Bluetooth connectivity. This technology is particularly useful for asset tracking, as it can provide geolocation accurate to within a few square meters within a predefined area (room, warehouse, campus, etc.).
A beacon is made up of several components: a battery, a microcontroller, an antenna, a radio module, sensors, and finally, a UUID (Universal Unique Identifier). As the frequency band used by Bluetooth technology is similar to that of Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz), the infrastructure required to obtain real-time geolocation of assets (products, stock, machines, etc.) is inexpensive and technically simple.
The complementarity between passive RFID and Bluetooth BLE opens up almost unlimited possibilities for traceability in all industries. Our Solid consultants are available to assist you with your considerations and future projects.
