How iBeacon Works in Warehousing
Key Components
iBeacon Tags: Attached to pallets, products, or equipment.
Bluetooth Scanners/Gateways: Fixed at key points (e.g., entry/exit, shelves).
Cloud/On-Premise Software: Processes location data for analytics.
Workflow Example
Tagging Assets: Each item/pallet gets an iBeacon with a unique ID.
Signal Detection: Bluetooth scanners detect beacon signals and estimate proximity (1m–50m range).
Real-Time Tracking: Location data is sent to a central dashboard (e.g., via Wi-Fi/LoRaWAN).
Automated Alerts: Notifications for misplaced stock, low inventory, or unauthorized movements.
