Asset Management<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n

IoT sensors track the status of your assets in real-time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not knowing where things are in your company is not only frustrating when you spend half a day searching for this one specific thing but also has a bad effect on the overall efficiency and, in the worst case, of the company\u2019s revenue. In addition, having no insights into maintenance status of your things makes the whole problem even worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These \u201cthings\u201d can be anything from towels with a unit price of just a few euros in current assets or large machines in fixed assets worth several million. That\u2019s where our solutions for the Internet of Things come into play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IoT-based asset management is a great way to gain insights into how and where assets are being used. Real-time information about the asset\u2019s whereabouts, its maintenance status and overall condition is needed to ensure a trouble-free and durable use.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n

Why is it so important to know where things are?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    IoT sensors collect the needed data to gain insights into asset use. Clearly, wireless sensors have advantage over wired ones as they can be placed directly onto the assets, no matter if they have a fixed place or if they are moveable. However, battery-powered sensors are also not ideal as you wouldn\u2019t want to have to change all these sensor batteries on your assets over and over again. And typically, batteries run out of power at the most inconvenient times. That\u2019s why EnOcean\u2019s wireless and battery-free sensors are ideally suited for IoT-based asset management. Stick them directly onto any sort of asset. They collect the raw data reliably and in real time, without any need for maintenance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n

    EnOcean’s low-power wireless technology is enhancing hospital operations by streamlining logistics and asset management. Self-powered EnOcean and Bluetooth IoT devices, requiring minimal wiring, can be swiftly networked through a limited number of 5G\/4G or Wi-Fi hubs, ensuring seamless integration without disrupting daily medical activities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    These devices offer integrated location services, assisting patients with navigation via mobile apps and enabling real-time tracking of equipment like wheelchairs and gurneys. Additionally, they monitor specimen transport conditions and provide service call functionalities, thereby improving overall efficiency and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n
