Asset tracking, supply chain visibility and the GPS and BLE hardware behind them, written by the GPX team.
Operating assets around flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dust carries a hard truth: a single spark from standard electronics can trigger a catastrophic explosion. In oil and gas, chemical manufacturing, mining, and agriculture, that risk turns asset tracking into a
The BLE indoor location market will climb from USD 4.3 billion in 2025 to USD 11.8 billion by 2030. That growth traces back to one problem: assets keep going missing, and manual audits eat hours no operation can spare. Every
The Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) indoor location market is on track to grow from $4.3 billion in 2025 to $11.8 billion by 2030, a 22.5% compound annual growth rate, with asset tracking the single largest application driving that curve. At
The best AirTag alternative depends entirely on your ecosystem. For Android users, the Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2 or a Chipolo ONE Point on the Google Find My Device network are top choices. For businesses and fleets, consumer Bluetooth tags fail at

A GPS asset tracker is more than battery life and connectivity. Pick the wrong level of environmental protection and the device fails, leaving your high-value assets exposed and your operations blind. Construction equipment theft costs the US industry $300 million
A single stolen excavator is rarely a one-line loss. It stalls the schedule, triggers an emergency rental at peak rates, inflates the next insurance renewal, and ties up a project manager in police reports for a week. Multiply that across
For thirty years, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has been the default answer to the question, “How do we track our stuff?” It earned that position honestly. Passive RFID tags are cheap, durable, and require no battery. For a fixed-flow scanning
The global real-time location systems (RTLS) and RFID market is projected to cross 19 billion dollars in 2026, driven by a simple reality: supply chains can no longer afford blind spots. Retailers want item-level inventory accuracy. Hospitals want to find
Entering 2026, cargo theft losses across U.S. and Canadian supply chains have established a brutal new baseline, surging past $725 million in the trailing twelve months, a 60% increase year over year, according to Verisk CargoNet. Construction equipment theft sits
