Indoor asset tracking is a system that tracks the location and movement of assets in indoor environments like hospitals, factory floors, and offices. Challenges like limited line-of-sight, interference, attenuation, and accuracy requirements make indoor asset tracking more difficult than outdoor asset tracking. This article will explore some of the technical considerations for tracking assets indoors. Let's start with a brief overview of technologies used for indoor asset tracking.

Manufacturing has changed over the last few years. More demanding delivery schedules, more personalized products, “just in time” manufacturing processes, and a global pandemic have made their mark, and many manufacturers are struggling to remain competitive. The need to maintain oversight of increasingly complex operations has led facility managers to look for innovative solutions. Thy need to tracking raw materials and parts, seeing them through non-linear production lines and busy transit yards, and work
