Find It Fast
Asset Location / Dot-on-Map
- Make assets visible.
- Minimize search time.
- Maximize asset security.
The Problem
Keeping track of anything that’s mobile is difficult.
For operation teams, equipment, machinery, tools, and vehicles are rarely where they should be when needed. More time is spent finding what’s needed, than is spent using it.
It’s a highly unproductive and costly situation. Businesses overinvest in assets, so there are enough that they are easy to find. Businesses overinvest in people, so that there are enough manhours available to search for what’s needed.
For asset managers, it’s a similar problem. Asset security and Stolen Vehicle Recovery (SVR) is all but impossible if you aren’t sure where it is.
If you don’t know where it is, you don’t know that it’s somewhere it shouldn’t be. And it costs – in misplaced tools that are never found, ‘stock shrinkage’, theft, lost productivity, and insurance premiums.
The Solution
Blackhawk’s Location Module, QR Tags, and IoT devices.
QR Tags are installed on chosen assets. A broad range of QR Tags are available.
- Smaller foil bags that can be moulded to non-flat surfaces.
- Larger, highly durable, sheet-metal tags.
- Each time a QR Tag is scanned, its location is captured.
IoT devices are installed on chosen assets. A broad range of IoT devices are available, to provide the optimum:
- Accuracy
- Length of service
- Range
- Reliability
- Size
- Stealth
- Update frequency, and
- Any other required functionality.
Location data is captured by IoT device continuously, and transmitted for visualization on Blackhawk’s platform at regular intervals.
Blackhawk’s Location Module, allows operators and asset managers to visualize where a tracked asset was last seen, on a map, at any time. Asset location can be accessed from an office via web app, and from the field via mobile app.
