Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons are a popular choice for Real-Time Location Services (RTLS) applications [1]. BLE beacons are small, low-power, and low-cost, making them ideal for a variety of RTLS applications. BLE beacons can be used to detect the presence of an object or person in a particular area, to track the movement of an object or person, and to identify the location of an object or person with precision.
BLE beacons have several advantages over other RTLS tracking technologies, such as GPS or Wi-Fi. BLE beacons require much less power to operate than other tracking technologies, meaning they can be used for a much longer period of time without needing to recharge or replace batteries. BLE beacons also have a much wider range than other technologies, allowing them to be used in places where GPS or Wi-Fi signals may not reach. Finally, BLE beacons can be used indoors, meaning they can be used in areas where GPS or Wi-Fi signals would be blocked or weakened by walls or other obstructions.
BLE beacons are being used in a variety of RTLS applications, such as asset tracking, patient tracking, personnel tracking, and logistics tracking. In asset tracking, BLE beacons are used to track the location of valuable assets, such as medical equipment, tools, or vehicles. In patient tracking, BLE beacons are used to track the location of patients in hospitals or other healthcare facilities. In personnel tracking, BLE beacons are used to track the location of personnel in large facilities, such as warehouses or office buildings. In logistics tracking, BLE beacons are used to track the movement of goods and packages in warehouses or other large facilities.
BLE beacons can also be used in other RTLS applications, such as security systems, automated guided vehicles, or environmental monitoring. In security systems, BLE beacons can be used to detect the presence of an intruder and trigger an alarm. In automated guided vehicles, BLE beacons can be used to track the location of the vehicle and ensure it is following the correct path. In environmental monitoring, BLE beacons can be used to detect changes in temperature or humidity and trigger an alert if necessary.
Overall, BLE beacons are a versatile and cost-effective choice for a variety of RTLS applications. They are low-power and low-cost, they have a wide range and can be used indoors, and they can be used to
