RTLS Asset Tracking in Warehouses
LoRaWAN asset tracking solutions for warehouse management are the most efficient and affordable Bluetooth Indoor Positioning System. With a location accuracy from anywhere between 1 meter and 10 centimetres, the Bluetooth RTLS asset tracking offers the best use cases to modernise your warehouse
Container load planning and asset tracking
A Bluetooth asset tracking tag can be fitted on the inventory pallets to help in the ease of locating the goods at the time of dispatch. The container load planning module will be able to get the list of pallets to be assigned for loading.
Our Bluetooth Beacons run roughly five years on two CR2477 cells at 0 dBm / 0.5s advertising. At today’s coin-cell prices, the extra €1–€1.50 of lithium buys multi-year immunity to search-time and write-off costs that average warehouses measure in tens of dollars per misplaced pallet.

Bluetooth RTLS asset tracking for supply chain visibility
The LoRaWAN asset tracking system with Bluetooth RTLS is integrated with Ripples-FMS transport Management Software to provide third-party logistics vendors and their partners with significantly improved supply chain visibility. reduction in short shipments, elimination of cargo theft and real-time tracking information on a 24/7 basis
| Bluetooth RTLS | Only one tag per pallet + aisle relays | Bluetooth Node |
|---|---|---|
| Coverage inside deep stacks | relies on a sideways RF path, easily blocked | Guaranteed: short hops escape every layer |
| Asset identity | . If the outer tag is torn off, the pallet ID Is lost | Any surviving beacon can still advertise its ID |
| Granularity | Row relay sees “something” present; can’t tell which of the 8 pallets are missing | Each pallet keeps its own UID, so WMS pinpoints the exact one |
| Sensor data (temp/shock) | Measures aisle air, not product core | Inner beacons measure conditions that the goods are seen |
| Install cost | Fewer pallet tags but an extra powered relay hardware & wiring | +2–3 beacons per pallet; no extra mains wiring |
