What is Asset Tracking?

Asset tracking refers to tracking the method of physical assets, either by scanning barcode labels attached to the assets or by using tags using GPS or RFID which broadcast their location.

Bluhuski offer various solutions for Asset Gps tracking along with additional RFID.

What is GPS Asset Tracking?

Assets may also be tracked globally using devices which combine a GPS system and mobile phone and/or satellite phone technology. Such devices are known as GPS asset trackers and are different from other GPS tracking units in that they rely on an internal battery for power rather than being hard-wired to a vehicle’s battery. The frequency with which the position of the device must be known or available dictates the quality, size or type of GPS asset tracker required. It is common for asset tracking devices to fail due to Faraday cage effects as a huge proportion of the worlds assets are moved via intermodal containers. However modern tracking technology has now seen advances in signal transmission that allows enough signal strength to reach the GPS satellite system which can then be reported via GPRS to terrestrial networks.
