MikroTik offers a cost-effective and robust solution for asset tracking with their MT-RBKNOT and MT-TG-BT5-IN.
The Mikrotik RBKNOT is a compact IoT gateway designed to bridge long-range, l-power wireless devices with IP networks.
The MT-RBKNOT supports multiple connectivity options, including 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, Ethernet LTE (Cat-M/NB-IoT), and Modbus, the KNOT ensures reliable data transmission even in the most demanding environments.
The MikroTik TG-BT5-IN is a compact Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) tag designed for indoor asset tracking. With its efficient power consumption and small form factor, it can easily be attached to valuable assets, equipment, or personnel, allowing for precise location tracking within an indoor environment.
The KNOT gateway serves as the central hub, continuously scanning for BLE signals from the Indoor Tag. When a tag comes within range, the KNOT picks up the signal, processes the data, and transmits it via Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or LTE to a cloud-based or local server. This enables you to track and manage assets in real time, enhancing security and operational efficiency.
Some applications for the KNOT gateway and the Indoor Tag include:
- Industrial automation – by integrating with Modbus sensors, the KNOT can monitor temperature, humidity, or machine health, transmitting crucial data over LTE.
- Retail and smart inventory management – in a retail store, BLE tags on high-value merchandise trigger alerts if an item is beyond a designated area.
- Agriculture and smart farming – the KNOT can collect data from soil sensors or smart irrigation systems and send it to a cloud platform for real-time analysis.
- Transportation and Logistics – fleet operators can use the KNOT to monitor BLE-based temperature sensors in cold chain logistics, ensuring perishable s are transported under optimal conditions
The applications for the MikroTik Knot and Indoor Tag are virtually endless, and offer a scalable, cost-effective solution for businesses looking to optimise asset tracking and IoT integration.
