A bluetooth location-based indoor positioning system for asset tracking in warehouse

Abstract

In recent year, with the development of mobile device and wireless communication, the concept of Internet of things (IoT) emerges and extensive research and development of IoT application enables the real-time indoor localization for asset tracking through wireless sensor network. Many studies have focused on the positioning technology using Global Positioning System (GPS), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and ZigBee, but little attention has been paid on the industrial application of low-cost Bluetooth location-based indoor positioning system in asset localization. In this paper, a Bluetooth location-based indoor positioning system is proposed for warehouse asset tracking purpose to achieve a cost-effective asset management solution.
