Cost of IOT implementation & ownership
With the advent of the low cost of ownership Bluetooth mesh devices, manufacturing, logistics, warehousing, and mining industries have started thinking of large-scale deployment of wireless indoor inventory tracking solutions.
The function of the sensor device could be about the presence of a location or a mix of temperature, humidity, and pressure and the cost associated would depend on the number of functions to be monitored using these devices. Read about IOT success stories
Low on maintenance, indoor location tracking
Often we hear about the IT managers complaining about the life of sensor batteries and the associated cost of changing batteries every 3 or 6 months. Imagine having to do this in a shipyard where 1000’s sensors are deployed. Typically, Bluetooth mesh devices have a battery life of 2 to 10 years. Wireless infrastructure for an indoor positioning system would mean lower cost of installation and faster implementation
Ease of deployment also adds to the cost of ownership. Easy to deploy using high bond adhesive would ensure the sensors take less time to install for large deployments. The frequency of transmission is usually pre-configured to ensure low setup costs for the asset monitoring sensors.
