Beyond RFID: How BLE Completes Asset Tracking and Monitoring

Beyond RFID: How BLE Completes Asset Tracking and Monitoring

A Joint Perspective from Beontag & CISPER

In today’s fast-paced industrial environments, relying on fragmented data is no longer enough. While RAIN RFID has long been the gold standard for fast, bulk identification at specific checkpoints, many organizations still face a "visibility gap" the moment an asset leaves the range of a fixed reader.

Whether it is a pharmaceutical cold chain where temperature fluctuations go unnoticed or high-value equipment moving through areas without infrastructure, these blind spots lead to operational delays, asset loss, and compliance risks. The challenge is no longer just identifying "what" an asset is, but knowing "how" it is being handled in real-time.

The industry is now shifting toward a unified visibility layer by combining the efficiency of RFID with the continuous awareness of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). This hybrid approach allows for real-time condition monitoring - tracking temperature, humidity, and shock - while extending coverage far beyond traditional gateways to smartphones and existing Wi-Fi networks.

Beontag and CISPER combine global leadership in RFID and BLE technologies with deep expertise in tracking hardware, delivering end-to-end intelligence from the warehouse floor to the final delivery point.
