How to Deploy the Best Bluetooth Asset Tracking Starter Kit

The best Bluetooth asset tracking  IoT starter kit

Bluetooth asset tracking IoT starter kit with data visualisation dashboard giving alerts and notifications.

Bluetooth asset tracking using AoA

RipplesIPS Bluetooth asset tracking IoT starter kit delivers an unbeatable value proposition using an Angle Of Arrival (AoA) integrated IoT platform, dashboard & API technology for indoor positioning. 10 centimetre location accuracy, 10-minute reporting, and 5-year battery life – the lowest cost of ownership for a Bluetooth RTLS software deployment for easy deployment in worker safety, pallet tracking, asset tracking, and forklift tracking in warehouses.

We provide an innovative Angle of Arrival (AoA) indoor positioning with integrated software solutions that comprise low-energy Bluetooth beacons, gateway devices, application software, Bluetooth API framework, licenses, a dashboard, data visualisation tools, Modbus connectivity, and an indoor positioning engine.

Real-time Asset tracking system on a mesh network

We focus on large-scale Bluetooth asset tracking IoT starter kit applications where we can create unique value and an optimised solution for our customers in supply chain logistics, manufacturing & healthcare industries. In many industrial applications, such as smart metering and sensoring, there can be millions of devices in a network. Deployments of Bluetooth mesh in the field have proven this scalability in various applications, including smart metering, CMMS, and production workflow

AoA with LoRaWAN technology scales to any number of devices – two or two million nodes, whilst optimising itself for the best performance.  You can have thousands of devices in one room without interference due to the automatic and efficient use of radio resources. On the other hand, the distance between the two devices can be several kilometres. The total geographical coverage of the network is limitless because every single device is an autonomous part of the network and can operate as a router.

With mesh connectivity, even the most difficult places can be reached. It is robust in basements and deep indoors because the devices have several different options for connecting to the mesh network 

Indoor positioning & Bluetooth IoT starter kit

We provide off-the-shelf workflow monitoring, and indoor tracking dashboard solutions based on the mesh network. API technology. The cloud / on-premise hosted software solution can be deployed to integrate sensor devices and asset tags from multiple vendors, mesh and standalone products. 

Bluetooth AoA integration solutions from RipplesIPS are easy to install, maintain, and extend – everything is automatic. The customer just powers the device, and it automatically connects and operates as an autonomous part of the network for indoor position tracking.

RTLS deployment on Bluetooth mesh RTLS and LoRaWAN

Our RTLS in healthcare solution, for example, guarantees that messages are protected and cannot be modified – the customer owns the data and only they have access to it.

Security is a key requirement in any IoT device network. Bluetooth Mesh RTLS delivers link-layer security built on industry standards to guarantee message integrity & authenticity, message confidentiality, replay protection, node authenticity, and access control to the network.

  • Secure Network Configuration: When deploying ChirpStack, ensure the underlying network infrastructure is secure, including firewalls, security groups (e.g., in AWS), and proper network segmentation.
  • Certificate Management: For production environments, consider using a robust certificate management solution (e.g., integrating with Let’s Encrypt via a reverse proxy like Traefik) to manage TLS certificates for secure communication

Bluetooth cold chain monitoring solutions

Reliability and security are key to trust in RTLS. With Bluetooth mesh cold chain monitoring solutions, there is no single point of failure because all the devices are homogenous and can forward data as required. It is self-healing and reacts to changing physical or radio environments automatically.

This technology is robust against interference. There can be several different wireless systems in the same area. Devices with Bluetooth mesh locally choose the best channels to operate whilst minimizing interference to other radio systems. In case a message is lost, it will automatically be resent until its receipt is verified

AoA development kit from Ripples IoT

Bluetooth asset tracking on AoA is constantly developed, and new enhancements are delivered to customers. This allows new use cases to be supported during the potentially long lifecycle of industrial RTLS devices. Our indoor positioning & cold chain monitoring dashboard for the factory shop floor, workforce & inventory tracking solutions is easy to implement on cloud / on-premise gateway devices. These new features in the mesh software can be delivered using an efficient and secure update process over the air.

Devices can function at several operating points decided during run-time, which do not need to be decided at design time. This flexibility allows each device to balance between throughput, latency, and power consumption to suit the application’s needs.
