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. What is RipplesIPS real-time asset maintenance software?
A. A cloud-enabled CMMS software with real-time asset tracking software for identifying the indoor asset location with an accuracy of 4 x 4 meters, which has the function to categorize the assets based on usage and type, the physical location of the asset, time spent, last known location, etc.
Q. Does the asset tracking software provide business rules
A. There is an easy-to-configure rule engine that can be enabled to send alerts and notifications, for example, when an employee goes to a no-go zone or if an inventory pallet is found to be stacked in the wrong location
Q. I want to group a set of assets to monitor the activities. How is this achieved
A. RipplesIPS CMMS FAQ – Asset maintenance has a functionality whereby assets can be grouped and tracked for efficiency. This can be about tracking a group of interns, workers engaged in a specific repair activity, bill of materials pallet tracking in a production environment
Q. What is the concept of zoning in the Asset Tracking Software?
A. A virtual zone is a set of digital boundaries created in a specific region of the building  These could be different departments where people work, inventory storage areas, or front office reception where customers walk in to avail services

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

Q. What is the battery life of CMMS asset maintenance tracking devices
A. This would vary between 3 months to 10 years battery life depending on how often they are configured to transmit information (Zone, timestamp)
Q. We want to track assets in our logistics yard. Will it be possible to deploy the solutions in the open air?
A. Yes, the CMMS work order management solution can be deployed in the open air, provided there are poles available to deploy the waterproof anchor devices.
Q. Does the RipplesIPS solution provide outdoor GPS tracking
A. Unfortunately not. GPS devices drain batteries faster, hence the efforts in charging them would make it expensive for our solution for now.
Q. Are you able to provide us with ATEX certified devices?
A. We can provide custom-built solutions, In the case of ATEX devices, the minimum order quantity will be 20,000 numbers.
Q.  Are any gateway devices required for a 10,000 square feet area of real-time asset tracking
A. One gateway device can be kept at a central location to transmit data to the Asset tracking software on the cloud.
Q. How much time does it take to deploy a real time asset tracking system in  10,000 square feet

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.

Q. Defective devices and replacement policy

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.
