Asset & People Tracking

Locate assets. Protect people. Trust the inventory.

Design, integration and support cover asset and people tracking programmes using RTLS, RFID, GPS, cellular and workforce-safety wearables. Location events are published into ERP, WMS, dispatch and SOC platforms so cycle counts, chain-of-custody, safety mustering and utilisation analytics run on live data across warehouses, hospitals, factories, offices and fleet.

"Every asset accounted for. Every worker covered. Every movement audited."
Location Coverage
Multi-technology

BLE, UWB, Wi-Fi RTT, RFID, GPS, LoRaWAN and cellular.

Operating Environments
Indoor & outdoor

Warehouses, hospitals, factories, yards, offices and fleet.

Business Systems
ERP-integrated

SAP EWM, Oracle WMS, SAP IBP, Blue Yonder, Manhattan Associates.

Platform ecosystem

Multi-vendor by design — devices, gateways, cloud IoT platforms and protocols are matched to the estate, integration surface and operating model.

Scope in detail

  1. Real-Time Location (RTLS)

    BLE, UWB, Wi-Fi RTT and ultrasonic anchors delivering indoor location for high-value equipment, medical devices, tools and pallets across warehouses, hospitals, factories and offices.

  2. RFID Asset Tracking

    Passive and active RFID with fixed portals and handheld readers for cycle counts, chain-of-custody on regulated inventory and audit-grade movement history across storerooms and yards.

  3. GPS & Cellular Fleet Tracking

    Vehicle, trailer and yard-asset tracking over 4G, LTE-M and NB-IoT with geofencing, dwell-time analytics and route data feeding fleet and logistics systems.

  4. Workforce & Contractor Safety

    Wearables and badges for lone-worker duress, man-down detection, evacuation mustering and restricted-zone alerts, integrated with dispatch and enterprise SOC tooling.

  5. Asset Utilisation Analytics

    Idle time, dwell, throughput and cycle-time metrics per asset class to surface under-used capital equipment and reduce duplicate purchasing.

  6. Geofencing & Zone Rules

    Virtual perimeters trigger alerts, workflow tasks and access changes for theft prevention, hazardous-zone control and automatic ticketing when assets leave permitted areas.

  7. ERP & WMS Integration

    Location events flow into SAP EWM, Oracle WMS, SAP IBP, Oracle SCM Cloud, Blue Yonder and Manhattan Associates so inventory accuracy and cycle counts run against live data.

  8. Battery & Tag Lifecycle

    Battery telemetry, tag health dashboards and automated replacement workflows to prevent silent tag failures and control ongoing operating cost.

Where connected estates break down

  • Assets are found by walking the site

    Equipment, medical devices, tools, containers and pallets are found by walking the site, calling colleagues or reprocurement, with no live location record.

  • Cycle counts drifting from ERP

    Inventory accuracy in the WMS and ERP no longer matches the physical estate; cycle counts consume days per month and still miss discrepancies.

  • Lone worker and contractor safety unmeasured

    Personnel work in remote, hazardous or after-hours conditions without automated duress, man-down or evacuation-mustering capability.

  • High-value equipment leaving site unnoticed

    Tools, trolleys, laptops and containers move between zones or off site without automatic alerts, workflow tasks or chain-of-custody evidence.

Engagement approach

Deliver location visibility from technology selection and RF design through integration, workflow enablement and lifecycle management of tags and wearables.

  1. Assess

    Identify high-value asset classes, target use cases, RF environment, incumbent ERP / WMS integration points and safety and compliance drivers per site.

  2. Design

    Select the appropriate blend of BLE, UWB, RFID, GPS and cellular technologies; design anchor and reader coverage; and specify tag, battery and workflow lifecycle.

  3. Integrate

    Deploy anchors, readers, tags, wearables and gateways; integrate location events into ERP, WMS, dispatch and SOC platforms; and validate accuracy on representative workflows.

  4. Operate & Improve

    Manage tag and battery lifecycle, monitor accuracy, refine zone rules and dashboards, and extend the programme to additional asset classes and sites.

Deliverables & artefacts

  • Site survey and RTLS / RFID technology selection

Fix What's Broken — Remediation Sprints

Offline sensors, unreliable gateways, broken protocol integrations, duplicate or missing telemetry, dashboard drift, expired certificates, alarm floods, or an IoT / OT pilot that never scaled? Jiva Technologies runs fixed-scope remediation sprints across the device, network, platform and integration layers.

  • Sensor, meter and gateway health audit, firmware baselining and connectivity fixes
  • Protocol integration cleanup (BACnet, Modbus, OPC UA, MQTT, LoRaWAN, LTE-M)
  • Data-model, KPI, dashboard and alarm rationalisation with tag / battery lifecycle fixes
