Overview

Some environments — cold stores, humid facilities, outdoor yards, shielded rooms — limit UHF RFID range and reliability. BLE Tracking uses Bluetooth Low Energy beacons to fill those gaps, feeding the same location and movement infrastructure as RFID. Same dashboard, same audit trail, same operator app — just a different signal protocol where it is needed.

The Problem

No single wireless technology covers every environment perfectly. Metal shelving, liquid products, extreme temperatures and RF-noisy environments all degrade RFID performance. Organisations with mixed environments need an alternative that works within the same tracking system.

Workflow

Step-by-step: how this use case works in the Loccuro operator app.

1

Attach BLE beacons

Affix Bluetooth Low Energy beacons to assets that need to be tracked in RFID-challenging environments.
2

Configure BLE readers

Install BLE readers at zone boundaries, entry/exit points or key tracking locations.
3

Automatic detection

Readers log presence events whenever a beacon comes within range — no operator action required.
4

View in Loccuro

BLE events appear in the same dashboard as RFID events — location, timestamp, signal strength.
5

Same audit trail

All BLE events are stored identically to RFID events — fully searchable, reportable and exportable.

Key Benefits

Extends tracking into RFID-challenging environments
Same dashboard and audit trail as RFID tracking
No separate system or interface to manage
Works for outdoor yards, cold stores and shielded areas
Mixed RFID/BLE deployments supported simultaneously
