Asset tracking, supply chain visibility and the GPS and BLE hardware behind them, written by the GPX team.
BLE and GPS tracking both locate assets but differ in range, battery life and long-term operating cost. A GPS tracker uses satellite signals and may need charging every few days, while a BLE tracker broadcasts a beacon picked up by
Agriculture farm equipment GPS tracking works best when the solution matches the asset: GPS for heavy tractors, BLE for smaller implements, RFID for scanning crates and livestock, and environmental sensors to prove the cold chain stayed intact. When choosing, weigh
GPS tracking stickers and smart tags are peel-and-stick devices that report asset location over BLE, crowdsourced device signals or cellular GPS, with no wiring required. Choose BLE smart labels for high-volume shipments and pallets, and rugged cellular GPS pucks for
GPS tracking prevents unauthorized grey market sales by showing distributors exactly where shipments end up, even after they leave the normal pipeline where RFID cannot follow. Location can be checked from a phone or web browser, and if a shipment
AI supply chain visibility software fuses real-time sensor and carrier data with context such as lanes, weather and dwell to predict risk and prescribe action before a delay, theft or spoilage occurs. When choosing a platform, look for predictive alerts,
AI asset tracking uses machine learning to turn raw GPS, RFID and IoT sensor data into actionable intelligence, answering why and what next rather than only where. It learns normal movement patterns to flag theft risks, predicts equipment failures from
AI-powered supply chain tracking platforms fuse GPS, BLE and IoT sensor data with external data like weather and traffic to predict delays and risks instead of only reporting location. When comparing platforms, look at the tracking technologies used, condition sensors
GPS tracking is a technology that uses satellite signals to find a device’s position and then transmits that location so businesses can see where assets are. Satellites broadcast their exact location and precise time, a receiver calculates its position through
Managing high value goods shipments takes real-time visibility, strong security measures and clear ownership of risk across a complex logistics network. Businesses should track the metrics that matter, protect shipments against theft and loss, and prepare for unpredictable events such
GPS trackers prevent inventory theft for retail and rental businesses by sending instant alerts when high-value assets such as e-bikes, ATVs and boats leave a set geofence, then showing their real-time location to improve recovery. Tamper sensors and motion alerts
