Cargo terminal ground service equipment monitoring

Aviation and shipping cargo terminals need to be meticulously operated to ensure that personal belongings and other assets reach their destination. These indoor/outdoor environments benefit from seamless indoor/outdoor positioning solutions, for example, combining GPS technology with Bluetooth mesh and direction finding.

Pallet and roll cage tracking

Pallets, intermediate bulk containers (IBCs), and roll cages are widely adopted by logistics companies to efficiently handle goods in warehouses. To maximize coverage, pallet and roll cage trackers require redundant positioning technologies, for example, combining GPS, Wi-Fi sniffing, and Bluetooth direction finding.

Kanban containers

Kanban containers have become an industry standard in intralogistics to handle loose items such as screws, nuts, and bolts. They typically feature RFID transponders to automate stock keeping. These could be replaced with Bluetooth low energy tags in order to simplify infrastructure deployments of inbound/outbound raw material monitoring systems and enhance global scalability.
