Bluetooth Low Energy – The Recent Boom in Technology
Who has not heard of Bluetooth technology? For a layman, it is all about connecting the mobile to other devices or listening to songs in the car. Bluetooth Low Energy - BLE is a type of wireless communication especially designed for communication within a short range.
What is BLE ?
BLE, or Bluetooth Low Energy, transmits and receives data over
short distances using wireless communication technology.
BLE requires a limited quantity of energy to work properly and ensure
a communication-based gateway on almost 4.0 standard ranges for better
functioning. As per the BLE manufacturers, it can work at 2.4 GHz to adapt to
marketing and data sharing on tablets and smartphones.
Supply chain management and other processes commonly use Bluetooth Low Energy. Each beacon (small wireless device) has an identification number and communicates with nearby beacons, allowing companies to track equipment, assets, and employees. This technology is ideal for many sectors because of its several benefits.
Bluetooth Low Energy is attractive to manufacturers of consumer electronics and Internet-enabled machines because of its low cost, ease of deployment, and long battery life. A small battery can power a short-range wireless transmitter that enables devices like thermometers and fitness trackers to communicate at a distance.
In which Industries BLE Technology is Usable ?
Being an innovative technology, BLE is being used in the following sectors:
Security
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology automates and monitors access to data systems and facilities in offices, facilities, and universities to ensure the security of entryways, hazardous areas, and data systems. The automated entryways and monitoring of access points and the restricted regions provided by beacons enhance security.
Production and Manufacturing Industry
The center can monitor raw materials, tools, products, and staff using Bluetooth Smart (BLE) technology. Employee allocation and inventory management can be improved with location-based reports. The real-time location and timing systems improve processes by increasing output, optimizing resources, and reducing errors. Its asset-employee association helps to ensure industry compliance.
Educational System
School-owned devices can be monitored, attendance reports can be automated, and network management can be enhanced when Bluetooth Smart (BLE) technology is used. User Location Report shows where students are at any given time. These data can facilitate the resolution of security issues and improve the safety of all students in an emergency.
Medical Care
BLE allows hospitals and care providers to monitor patients and streamline processes by attaching tags to patients, employees, and assets. A member of staff or a patient in a large facility in need of assistance can be easily located with the assistance of RTLS. Patients with Alzheimer's and dementia may also benefit from RTLS to track their movements to ensure their safety.
Residents who wander away from a predefined area or attempt to leave a building can be located by an RTLS, alerting staff and directing them to the right place.
Travelling
Ticket sales and registrations can be automated with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology in metros, airports, train stations, and bus terminals, providing accurate way-finding and instant travel advice. To facilitate self-registration and check-in, airlines use Real-Time Location Tracking Services. This data can be presented in charts that use time-stamped employee locations, response rates, and targeted visitor counts.
Entertainment
Brands use BLE technology to target customers with hyper-local advertising. The use of beacon-based customer engagement can benefit concert halls, sports stadiums, and restaurants alike.
Customers benefit from proximity technologies by accessing need-to-know information about the business on their mobile devices. This reduces reliance on paper brochures and maps and eliminates the need for many seasonal employees.
Advertisement
BLE allows companies to reach customers quickly and effectively. Customers' physical locations and online purchase histories send contextual advertisements over beacons.
Customers' mobile devices interact with beacons, sending targeted advertisements when they approach. Both transmission power and frequency can be adjusted to optimize battery life and ensure high accuracy targeting.
Stores where more than one URL may be transmitted from multiple beacons ensure that special offers are notified to customers as soon as they are within a small area. However, a beacon can transmit across a large area with a single URL as its transmission power increases. The beacons can be programmed to broadcast a specific message over the entire store aisle.
Customers are engaged by beacons in a consistent, relevant, and timely manner, resulting in higher sales, loyalty, and retention of customers.
Why is BLE Technology Booming Now?
As BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) becomes a standard, it can provide communication between two devices at a distance. It's easy to build new technology on the BLE platform and has already resulted in numerous inventions. It can be used for everything from charging your mobile phone, receiving messages, controlling home appliances and even storing data in the cloud.
The latest developments in the BLE technology have made it possible to eliminate the need for cables and wires between components. This makes it easy to create a range of applications that involve smart devices, IoT-based sensors, mobile devices and other electronic equipment.
The possibilities are so great that it is hard to say what the future holds for this technology. Some believe it will bring about a revolution in higher education and other areas of life such as health care, even though there is no clear consensus on how many of these applications will become popular within the next decade or two.
