The new additions extend the company’s portfolio of Internet of Things (IoT) offerings for organisations. HID location services for item management monitor the location and movement of assets and equipment across different locations or in a specific area, to help combat asset theft.
The condition monitoring services provide real-time analysis of equipment performance and health.
Potential end-users include hospitals, factories and industrial firms.
“Every day, organisations seek to address pressing concerns around the misuse, tampering or theft of assets, as well as unforeseen equipment downtime. HID’s latest solutions make it possible to quickly locate items, provide valuable equipment data to optimise equipment efficiency, plus react quickly to critical events or instantly know when equipment fails,” says Mark Robinton, director of strategic innovation at HID Global.
The HID Location Services capabilities can quickly locate items, ranging from ladders and carts, to emergency hospital equipment.
The technology also provides predictive analysis to forecast the future location of an item in environments, such as manufacturing or hospital floors, airports, or shopping centres.
In many instances an item’s location can impact workforce safety. Facility managers can use ‘geo-fences’ to easily deploy alerts by establishing policies that monitor incoming vehicles, hazardous materials or dangerous equipment in multiple locations.
HID conditioning monitoring services provide predictive analysis for ensuring the optimal performance of vending machines, conveyor belts, heating and cooling systems, medical and other equipment. The technology can help reduce operations and maintenance costs. Accurate predicted failures of components can allow repairs and replacements to be scheduled in at suitable times, reducing down time.
Bluvision, part of HID Global, is supplying the new offerings, which are based on a common platform that leverage Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and include HID’s Bluzone cloud service, Bluetooth beacons and BluFi gateways.
