Leveraging IoT to unlock the next generation of asset tracking in construction

摘要

THERE is a thin line between asset tracking and the Internet of Things (IoT). From simply keeping track of equipment in a spreadsheet to using radio-frequency identification (RFID) or GNSS to log equipment usage and location electronically, most construction businesses will typically have some form of asset tracking system already in place. However, new developments in number-crunching power and advances in all-in-one software platforms are helping construction businesses enhance their asset tracking capabilities, by embracing IoT, arguably the next evolutionary step in the development of asset tracking.
