CMMS FAQ : Real-time Tracking & Maintenance
CMMS FAQ and asset maintenance FAQ (A powerful way to track the indoor location tracking of assets in real time. The self-healing massivemesh network deployed is highly reliable and scalable, making it a cost-effective infrastructure for a wide range of real-time indoor GPS asset tracker use cases, such as:- Inventory monitoring with tracking for improving stocktake and FiFo models
- Fleet tracking in logistics yard management
- Machine breakdown tracking, MTBF, and MTBR monitoring
- Lone worker tracking in factories and shipyards
- Indoor positioning system for Improving production shop floor
Frequently asked questions for real-time asset maintenance CMMS software
Q. Is there a Trade-off between Accuracy and Cost
There is a trade-off between accuracy and cost for IPS (Indoor Positioning System). Generally, the more accurate the system, the more expensive it will be to deploy and maintain. However, the application’s specific requirements will determine the optimal balance of accuracy and cost. Read on co
Q. How does one determine the size of each virtual zone in real-time asset maintenance?
A. The dimensions (L & B) of the zones are determined by placing the battery-powered anchors at a height of 7 feet for maximum coverage and accuracy. The more the number of anchors, the more accurate the realtime GPS asset tracker using a wireless mesh network.
Q. What are the benefits of deploying Real-time asset tracking for inventory management?
A. We have integrated Inventree software with RipplesIPS to provide you with professional warehouse inventory monitoring software, which boosts productivity when it comes to inventory stock take and cycle counting.
Q. Can RipplesIPS be implemented in remote monitoring
A. RipplesIPS combined with RipplesCMMS (CMMS asset maintenance) is the perfect combination for remote monitoring and tracking of assets in telecom, banking, factory shop floor, and logistics sectors.
Q: What is a Wirepas massivemesh network?
A: A massivemesh network is a wireless protocol that uses low-power radio signals to connect devices. The network is self-organizing and self-healing, meaning it can automatically configure itself and recover from disruptions. Comparison of RTLS solutions
Q: How does real-time asset tracking with a Wirepas mesh work?
A: CMMS Asset maintenance solutions are equipped with BLE tags. These tags communicate with each other and with gateway devices to relay their Indoor location information. The gateway devices send this information to a cloud-based asset-tracking software platform, where users can access it in real time.
Q. How secure is the real-time asset tracking network
A. Both the data transmission and the network signaling are secured on the link layer with AES128 encryption and OMAC1 integrity verification. The mesh uses the network-wide Message Integrity Code (MIC) and AES128 encryption key. A replay attack is prevented by adding a nonce to the message. The messages are encrypted/decrypted and integrity checked hop-by-hop.
Q: What are the benefits of using a mesh network for realtime asset tracking?
A: A mesh network offer several benefits for realtime asset tracking, including:
- High reliability: Wireless mesh and BLE mesh networks are reliable, even in harsh environments.
- Scalability: RipplesIPS mesh networks can be scaled to support many devices.
- Inventory tags consume very little power, which extends their battery life.
- Security: Mesh networks are highly secure and resistant to interference.
Q: What are the costs associated with using a Wirepas mesh for real-time asset maintenance?
A: The costs associated with using a massivemesh network for real-time asset tracking will vary depending on the specific application, layout, and coverage. However, the cost of RTLS tags is relatively low, and the cost of the cloud-based asset tracking software platform is typically based on a subscription model. Overall, real-time asset tracking with a Wirepas mesh is a powerful and affordable way to track the indoor location of assets in real-time.
Q. Can the same infrastructure be used for cold chain monitoring and tracking
A. EN 12830 cold chain monitoring and tracking solutions can be deployed on the same infrastructure to provide regular alerts and notifications.
Q. What kind of devices are used for realtime CMMS asset maintenance tracking
A. These are tiny battery-powered devices that emit data at pre-defined intervals to the real-time CMMS asset maintenance tracking software
Q. Are the devices supplied by you certified
A. The devices have certification for CE, FCC, and RoHS
A. Under normal conditions, it would take about 7 working days to deploy the solution ready for trial runs
Q. How much does it cost to deploy the solution over an area of 10,000 square feet?
A. The asset tracking software cost page has all the required information.
A. The asset tracking devices are shipped with a 3-year replacement warranty
Q. Are there any need to have specialized engineers onsite to deploy the RipplesIPS solution?
A. Most of the deployments done to date have been done by customers using the user manual. On a need basis, we can send our engineers onsite to deploy the wireless mesh network
Q. Can you provide us with a free trial kit for deployment?
A. We do have a IoT starter kit which can be shipped to you in two weeks.
