Capture technologies

From sensor to decision

Trackvy integrates RFID UHF, Bluetooth BLE, LoRa, and 4G networks to register every item, tool, and process in real time. The technology is chosen based on the operational context; the result always lands in the same place.

RFID & IoT

One platform. Multiple capture technologies.

There is no single universal sensor. Every operational environment demands the technology best suited to its conditions: read speed, range, physical conditions, coverage, and energy autonomy.

Trackvy absorbs that diversity. Reads from RFID, BLE, LoRa and 4G converge on one platform: one timeline per item and one dashboard for the team.

  • Real-time location Every item, tool, or product logs its position each time it passes a capture point or transmits wirelessly.
  • Complete movement history Trackvy keeps the full traceability of each event: who, when, where, and in what condition, without manual intervention.
  • Automatic alerts and exceptions Unauthorized exits, items stopped outside range, inventory below threshold; the platform notifies before the problem escalates.

App Features

Four technologies. One system.

Trackvy selects and integrates the right capture technology for each scenario. Multiple technologies can coexist within the same operation.

RFID UHF

Suited to: warehouses, bulk inventories, control portals

Passive RFID tags are read at distances of up to 12 m without line of sight. A fixed reader can register hundreds of tags per second. The most common technology for fixed asset control, tools, and high-turnover inventories.

Bluetooth BLE

Suited to: high-value indoor items, medical equipment, personnel

BLE beacons broadcast their identity every few seconds. Fixed readers triangulate position within a building to 2 to 5 m accuracy. Low power consumption. Long-lasting batteries without RFID infrastructure.

LoRa / LoRaWAN

Suited to: outdoor items, rural or remote areas, machinery without cellular coverage

LoRa transmits over kilometers with batteries lasting years. Used for containers, vehicles, and machinery distributed across areas where Wi-Fi and cabling are not viable.

4G / NB-IoT Sensors

Suited to: critical items in motion, fleets, machinery with real-time telemetry

Sensors with cellular connectivity report GPS position, temperature, vibration, and other variables directly to the cloud. No dependency on local infrastructure. The choice for items that move outside the operational perimeter.

Selection criterion

Which technology fits your operation?

Each capture technology solves a different problem. Before comparing brands it pays to compare operating realities: what moves, how often, and from what distance it needs to be read.

Technology Typical range Tag and cost Infrastructure Where it adds the most
Manual counting Line of sight, one item at a time No tag None Low volumes with few changes. Accuracy decays with volume: 63% is the baseline we have observed in asset audits.
RAIN RFID (passive UHF) 1 to 12 m, hundreds of reads per second Low-cost passive tag, no battery Fixed or mobile readers Inventory and assets at volume. It is the base of the sustained ~99% accuracy we measure in operation.
BLE (beacons) 50+ m detection, 2 to 5 m zone accuracy Active tag with a multi-year battery BLE gateways Indoor zone presence and tracking of high-value assets.
LoRaWAN 3 to 4 km urban, up to 15 km line of sight Active tag reporting a few times per day LoRa gateways Yards and large sites where assets move little and distances are long.
Cellular tracker (4G) Cellular network coverage, with GPS Rechargeable device at a higher unit cost None on site Vehicles, containers, and assets that travel between sites.

No single technology covers every case. Operations that sustain control combine two or three, by zone and by asset type. The Diagnostic measures your case and proposes the mix; Trackvy runs them all on the same data.

How do we help?

From sensor to dashboard in four steps

RFID UHF, BLE, LoRa, or 4G by environment. Data always converges in one place.

Capture

The sensor (RFID, BLE, LoRa, or 4G) detects the item and generates an event with identity, timestamp, and capture point.

Transmission

The data travels to the Trackvy server via local network, Wi-Fi, or cellular, depending on the capture technology used.

Processing

Trackvy normalizes, validates, and stores the event. It compares against the expected state and generates alerts on deviation.

Visibility

The dashboard shows current status, history and exceptions. Reports generate on their own and ERP export happens in real time.

Frequently asked questions

Which capture technology is right for our operation?

It depends on the physical environment, the item type and the available coverage. UHF RFID is the most common choice for warehouses and inventories. BLE suits dense indoor environments. LoRa suits outdoors without cellular coverage. 4G/NB-IoT suits critical items in motion. The diagnostic determines the right combination for your operation.

Can Trackvy combine multiple technologies in the same operation?

Yes. Many operations use RFID in the warehouse, BLE in the plant, and 4G for items that go out in the field. Trackvy unifies all events into a single timeline per item, regardless of which technology generated the data.

How long does implementation take?

Timeline depends on capture technology, ERP integration, and item volume. The diagnosis determines the exact scope and schedule before work begins.

Does it integrate with our ERP, WMS, or maintenance system?

Yes. Trackvy exposes an open API and standard connectors for the main ERP and WMS systems on the market. Integration is part of the bounded deployment scope.

What infrastructure do we need to install?

It varies by technology. Mobile RFID readers require no fixed installation. Fixed portals need power and network. BLE and LoRa sensors run on batteries and require no cabling. The diagnosis determines exactly what your operation needs.
