Asset Tracking

Save hours every day with an asset tracking solution

Track precise asset location & movement in real-time.

Instantly find assets such as tools, equipment, parts, materials and products anywhere on a digital map of your facility.

Assets that keep you updated

Let your assets automatically inform you when their location or status changes. It’s time to say goodbye to forgotten assets and out-of-date systems.

Track Any Asset

When it comes to location tracking, there is no one-size-fits-all. Tracking technologies vary widely in terms of performance and cost. That’s why Ubisense SmartSpace® was built to integrate multiple location technologies. From 20 years of experience, Ubisense can advise the best technology or combination of technologies to suit your requirements.

Real-Time

High-Accuracy

Long Battery

Ultra-Wideband (UWB)

<30cm

Typical accuracy

60-100m

Typical read range

>10yrs

Tag battery lifetime

Tags emit very short pulses of information at very high frequency across a wide bandwidth. Signals received by sensors, installed on walls or ceilings, locate tags reliably with high-accuracy in three dimensions, even in challenging environments.

Real-Time

Long Battery

Low Cost

Dual Mode Tag

BLE

1-3m

Typical accuracy

30-80m

Typical read range

>8yrs

Tag battery lifetime

BLE tags emit a high frequency signal received by sensors installed in a facility. Sensors determine 2D location well in open spaces. Low energy tags have long battery life and the BLE standard can enable devices such as smartphones to be located.

Real-Time

Low Cost

Active RFID (UHF)

10m

Typical accuracy

<500m

Typical read range

<1-3yrs

Tag battery lifetime

Tags emit signals at one of a number of pre-defined high frequencies and are located by comparing the strength of the signal at multiple readers. 433 MHz signals are less sensitive to blocking or distortion, such as by water or metals, but make the location data less accurate.

Real-Time

Low Infrastructure

Wi-Fi

15m

Typical accuracy

60-100m

Typical read range

<1yrs

Tag battery lifetime

Existing Wi-Fi networks can be used to track enabled devices. Although accuracy is much lower than other methods (typically to within 15m) and devices can be power-hungry, using existing networks can make deployment inexpensive and unobtrusive.

Low Cost

Passive RFID (UHF)

N/A

Typical accuracy

1-10m

Typical read range

N/A

Tag battery lifetime

Tags (usually a printed label) have integrated circuits, but no power. Readers emit UHF radio waves and energise tags within range, receiving back a portion of the energy as information. Tag location is determined by its proximity to a fixed reader.

Real-Time

Low Infrastruture

Outdoor Only

Dimension4 Tag

GPS

3-10m

Typical accuracy

N/A

Typical read range

1-3yrs

Tag battery lifetime

GPS tags receive signals from multiple satellites and compare the different arrival times of signals to determine a position. Suitable only for outdoor areas with a clear view of the sky, GPS tags do not require any additional infrastructure.

The best of both worlds

When one technology doesn’t cover all of the requirements, Ubisense can seamlessly combine multiple different technologies in one platform meaning you don’t have to compromise. Adding powerful asset management capabilities has never been easier.

SOLUTIONS

Tool Management

Locate, coordinate and control the use of tools in real-time across both indoor and outdoor facilities.

More than location

Ubisense SmartSpace® lets you track any asset, from the smallest part to the largest piece of equipment, regardless of where it is in your facility.

But it’s more than just location. Automate processes using easy to configure business rules that use the real-time status, movement, sequence and interaction of assets to improve productivity, quality and safety.

  • Prevent the use of equipment overdue maintenance or calibration
  • Automate audits and tests
  • Avoid potential collisions between equipment and people
  • Use dashboards to measure utilization over time
  • Optimize stock levels eliminate shortages

Indoor Tracking With 5G and Ultra-wideband

Asset tracking is the process of monitoring and managing physical assets. This is usually done with the help of asset tracking software. By tracking assets, businesses can track their assets, who is using them, and when they need to be replaced or serviced.

An asset tracking solution typically consists of two components.

  • Hardware devices that are attached to the tracked assets. These devices use GPS, UBW tags, or other technologies to communicate the asset’s location and status.
  • A software platform (also called asset tracking software) that collects and processes data from the hardware devices. The platform uses this data to generate reports and alerts as needed.

An asset tracking solution helps businesses track assets throughout their lifecycle. On the other hand, an asset management system is a comprehensive solution that helps businesses track assets and manage them effectively. For example, Ubisense SmartSpace® is a highly-configurable asset management platform that can integrate with existing enterprise software like ERP, create a rich digital twin of physical processes, and more.

Yes, fixed assets can be tracked using an asset tracking system. Simple solutions like barcodes and asset tags have been around for a long time. Advanced asset tracking systems can monitor the performance and health of fixed assets in real-time. For example, asset tracking sensors can trigger maintenance tickets automatically. An asset management solution like Ubisense SmartSpace® can also monitor assets in real-time and provide actionable insights to improve decision-making around resource utilisation, capacity planning, and preventive maintenance.
