BLE
Introduction to BLE
IoT has emerged as a changemaker in the age of technology-led transformations. With IoT bringing an increasingly large number of devices under a common roof, connectivity becomes critical for its success. The strength of any wireless form of connectivity is defined by metrics such as speed, security, compatibility, and usage of power.
In supply chain functions, where end-to-end visibility of processes is vital, BLE powered beacons have found immense acceptance in recent times. With traceability compliance at the center, supply chains across the world have come a long way from barcodes to RFID and now BLE. While BLE tags or beacons work similarly as active RFID tags, their increasing acceptance lies in the fact that they are extremely energy efficient and consume very low power. Right from monitoring movement of inventory in warehouses, to track last-mile delivery, BLE is revolutionizing traceability in supply chains.
BLE comes with some brilliant advantages:
Common technology
Bluetooth as a feature is present on general mobile phones, thereby making BLE beacons readable with even your cell phone.
High read-range
Being extremely energy efficient, BLE tags or beacons have extremely high read-ranges
Cost-effective
BLE tags can be manufactured in bulk without any significant cost of implementation
Energy-efficient
BLE tags and beacons transfer an enormous amount of data in extremely low power modes
How BCI helps
Having worked for more than 22 years in offering the needed visibility and intelligence in supply chains, we understand the needs of your business and ways to bring automation in your processes.
We have worked with organizations across diverse industry verticals helping them automate their operations using BLE technology. From tracking patients at multi-specialty hospitals to tracking the movement of goods and assets in manufacturing units, BLE beacons and tags have been deployed at scale to help businesses get the much-needed visibility in their processes. In industries such as food and pharmaceuticals where processes are extremely sensitive to parameters like temperature, humidity, and light among others, BLE beacons have enormous potential in transferring accurate data in real-time.
