Russia Develops Monitoring System Independent of GPS and GLONASS
SAUK Beacon Manager makes it possible to track equipment and assets without relying on satellite signals.
The Russian company SAUK, which specializes in contactless identification hardware, has developed software called SAUK Beacon Manager. The application is designed for remote configuration, monitoring, and testing of Bluetooth Low Energy beacons. It is expected to significantly simplify the rollout of Russian BLE solutions for the real-time automatic identification of large-scale equipment and assets.
Operating Without GPS in Interference-Prone Environments
BLE beacons allow assets to be tracked within confined areas, with a signal range of up to 100 meters. In environments with interference or where GPS is unavailable, companies can use the system to determine the location of vehicles, machinery, and containers in quarries, warehouses, mines, and factory floors. The new software works with both newly installed and already deployed SAUK BLE beacons. An engineer can see all BLE beacons within smartphone range, check their status, and adjust key parameters. The system also supports searching for a specific beacon via a QR code linked to its serial number.
A Simple Positioning and Monitoring System
SAUK, which is based in Zelenograd, is recognized as a center of expertise in RFID and BLE technologies. Its solutions are used in airports, industrial facilities, retail, and the public sector.
