Unlocking the Power of BLE: How Remora3 and Hawk Make Asset Tracking Easier with Logifleet

Unlocking the Power of BLE: How Remora3 and Hawk Make Asset Tracking Easier with Logifleet

Keeping track of tools, equipment, and other important items is very important. Companies in construction, transportation, and warehouses need to know where their things are at all times. In the past, businesses had to write things down, scan barcodes, or use GPS trackers.

But these methods don’t always work well, especially indoors. They are also not good for things that don’t have a power source, like tools or shipping containers. 

That’s where Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology helps.

Devices like Remora3 and Hawk use BLE and GPS together to make tracking easier. This technology helps businesses save time, reduce losses, and always know where their valuable assets are. 

What Is a BLE Gateway and Why Is It Important?

A BLE gateway is a device that connects to small Bluetooth beacons attached to tools or equipment. It collects data from these beacons and sends it to a central system, helping businesses track where everything is. 

Without BLE gateways, companies may have to count items manually or use GPS trackers that don’t work well indoors. 

How BLE Technology Works: 

  • BLE uses very little power, so devices can last a long time without needing new batteries. 
  • BLE beacons send signals that BLE gateways can pick up, making it easy to track locations and collect data. 
  • BLE is great for asset tracking because it can cover large areas and track many items at once. 

What Does a BLE Gateway Do? 

  • It scans for BLE beacons nearby, collects their data, and sends it to a tracking system. 
  • It can collect data like location. 
  • Businesses can check this data in real time on computers or mobile devices. 

Remora3: A Strong, Long-Lasting Tracker for Remote Assets 

The Remora3 is built to last and can go years without needing new batteries. It's great for tracking items in hard-to-reach places like construction sites and shipping yards. 

Key Features: 

  • Long Battery Life: Uses strong batteries that last for years. 
  • Accurate GPS Tracking: Works with multiple satellite systems to show precise locations. 
  • Strong Design: Waterproof, dustproof, and tough enough for rough conditions. 
  • BLE 5.2 Gateway: Can pick up signals from many BLE beacons at once. 

Where It’s Useful: 

  • Construction Sites: Tracks heavy machines and tools on large job sites. 
  • Shipping & Logistics: Keeps track of trailers and containers to prevent loss or theft. 
  • Remote Monitoring: Collects data like in faraway locations. 
  • Mining & Agriculture: Helps businesses track expensive machines in large outdoor areas. 
  • Emergency Response: Can track emergency supplies and equipment in disaster areas.

The Future of Asset Tracking with BLE and IoT 

As technology improves, asset tracking will become even better. Here are some trends to watch: 

  • More Sensors: BLE beacons are starting to measure things like temperature, movement, and equipment use. 
  • AI and Smart Data: Artificial intelligence will help predict when equipment needs fixing. 
  • Faster Data Processing: Devices will process data more quickly without needing to send everything to the cloud. 
  • Smaller & Cheaper Devices: BLE technology is becoming more affordable and easier to use. 
  • Smart City Integration: BLE tracking is becoming part of cities, helping with things like public transportation, rental bikes, and city maintenance tools.
