Indoor asset tracking is a unique specialty of many types of RTLS, as Global Positioning Systems (GPS) have difficulty providing asset locations within buildings. RTLS deployments generally address the problems of determining the location of equipment and products in a warehouse or even tracking employees and files in an office. The most common RTLS uses a WiFi infrastructure to determine the location of tagged assets. These systems employ Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) techniques to wirelessly determine asset location. This presents a new method for providing an accurate, low cost estimate of sub-room indoor Asset location. Recently proposed indoor localization solutions have required anywhere from zero additional infrastructure to customized RF hardware and have provided room-level to centimeter-level accuracy, typically in that respective order. An iBeacon based Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology used to track and manage assets. Each asset to be tracked is tagged with an iBeacon tag, and tracked using BLE enabled device located throughout a facility. Based on the tracking information, the system allows users to manage assets and generate reports regarding the various tagged assets.
