Closing the visibility gap in asset tracking

A joint perspective from Beontag & Cisper

In many industrial environments, asset tracking still depends on data captured at fixed points. RAIN RFID plays an important role here by enabling fast and reliable identification at scale. However, once assets move beyond these checkpoints, visibility is often lost. This creates gaps in insight and control.

These gaps become critical in real-world scenarios. In cold chain logistics, for example, temperature deviations may go unnoticed during transit. In other cases, valuable assets move through areas without infrastructure, making it difficult to track their location or condition. The challenge is no longer just identifying assets, but understanding their status throughout the entire journey.

To address this, organizations are increasingly combining RFID with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). This approach extends visibility beyond fixed readers and enables continuous tracking and condition monitoring. BLE allows data such as temperature, humidity, and shock to be captured in real time, using existing infrastructure like smartphones or Wi-Fi access points.
