Real-Time Visibility Redefined: The Hybrid BLE RTLS Solution That Delivers Sub-Meter Accuracy and Enterprise ROI

In today’s hyper-connected world, businesses are under immense pressure to drive efficiency, maximize safety, and slash operational costs. Across critical sectors like logistics, healthcare, manufacturing, and smart buildings, real-time visibility is no longer a luxury—it’s a fundamental requirement.

This is where the powerful partnership between Sentrax and MOKOSMART is defining the future of Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS). By combining MOKOSMART’s advanced BLE tags with the Sentrax BLE scanners and the robust Solix RTLS platform, we deliver one of the most effective and scalable indoor positioning systems available today.

The Sentrax Hybrid Advantage: Precision Meets Scale

Sentrax maximizes the value of BLE by combining two powerful methods into one cohesive hybrid system:

1. RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator): This is the cost-effective workhorse. It is ideal for zone monitoring, proximity alerts, and wide-area asset tracking where knowing which floor or section an asset is in is sufficient.
2. AoA (Angle of Arrival): This is the precision tool. It uses advanced direction-finding technology to provide sub-meter accuracy for critical use cases, like tracking surgical instruments or locating misplaced high-value tools on a manufacturing line.

This hybrid approach ensures enterprises get the accuracy they need, exactly where they need it, without over-investing.

Why Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is the Right Foundation

Compared to Wi-Fi, proprietary RFID, or costly UWB systems, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) has emerged as the leading foundation for RTLS because it offers the perfect balance of performance and practicality:

• Cost-Effective: Significantly lower hardware and infrastructure investment than competing systems.
• Scalable: Easily deployable across small sites or vast, global operations.
• Energy-Efficient: Offers multi-year battery life for tags, minimizing maintenance.
• Accurate: Provides everything from basic proximity detection to sub-meter precision.

Engineered for Savings: Unlocking Cost Benefits and ROI

The combined MOKOSMART and Sentrax solution is designed to offer a superior Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), generating significant ROI through both capital and operational expenditure savings:

1. Lower Initial Investment (CapEx)

• Affordable Scaling: MOKOSMART’s flexible and high-volume tag portfolio (wearables, badges, rugged asset tags) ensures a low unit cost for hardware, making it feasible to track thousands of low-value assets.
• Optimized Infrastructure: The hybrid model allows you to deploy basic, cheaper RSSI scanners for wide-area coverage and only install the more complex AoA locators in precision-critical areas, avoiding unnecessary infrastructure costs.

2. Reduced Operational Costs (OpEx)

• Extended Battery Life: MOKOSMART tags are optimized for BLE 5.1+ and designed for long-term use. Their extended battery life (often measured in years) dramatically reduces the labor and materials cost associated with maintenance and battery replacement.
• Simplified Deployment & Maintenance: The system has easy installation and remote device configuration, minimizing the need for specialized on-site labor and complex calibration procedures.

3. Measurable ROI Through Efficiency

• Eliminate Search Time: In industries like healthcare and logistics, the greatest hidden cost is wasted labor time searching for equipment. Real-time location data cuts search time from minutes to seconds, directly boosting staff productivity.
• Prevent Asset Loss: Geofencing and real-time alerts prevent the loss or theft of high-value assets, ensuring expensive equipment stays where it should be.
• Optimize Utilization: The Solix RTLS platform provides data on equipment usage, enabling managers to identify underutilized assets and avoid unnecessary capital expenditure on new equipment.

A Complete, Future-Proof Ecosystem

The robust technical synergy between the hardware and software makes this solution truly enterprise-ready, offering a full end-to-end platform:

MOKOSMART Tags: Deliver strong, stable signals in compact, rugged, and environmentally responsible designs, fit for industrial and healthcare environments. This is the mobile data source for all tracked assets and personnel.

Sentrax BLE and AoA Scanners: These high-performance hardware devices form the fixed network infrastructure, capturing tag signals via both RSSI (for wide-area presence) and AoA (for sub-meter precision) and feeding the raw location data to the platform.

Sentrax Solix RTLS Platform: This provides an end-to-end software platform, offering live map visualization, movement history, automated geofence alerts, and seamless integration with existing enterprise systems (via APIs).
