How BLE Technology Works in Industrial Environments | Link Labs Blog

When implementing a Real-Time Location System (RTLS), companies in industrial environments need to thoroughly review their options to find the best-fit solution.  Industrial settings often have specific requirements needed from a RTLS solution due to complex working environments – that includes warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and hospitals, to name a few.  Capabilities such as frequency of location updates, long battery life, location accuracy, and other asset monitoring capabilities are critical factors to consider.  With many communication technologies on the market to help transfer data within RTLS solutions, it can be a daunting task when deciding which is best for your industrial workplace.

BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) is one of the leading communication technologies powering RTLS solutions.  Let’s take a look at how Link Labs’ AirFinder BLE solution works in various industrial environments.
