With the recent release of Apple AirTags, a small tracking device designed to help users locate items such as keys, wallets, and bags, the buzz surrounding consumer asset tracking is taking off now more than ever before. The AirTag device is very much a consumer goods tracker and limited in its capabilities to help businesses large and small in their enterprise asset management (EAM) and tracking needs. Although many of us recognize Apple as a leader in the technology industry, asset tracking devices have been around long before the AirTag’s 2021 reveal. Since 2014, Link Labs has been the leading provider in enterprise asset tracking with a comprehensive Internet of Things (IoT) platform designed to help companies locate and track their assets in real-time.
If you’re searching for a gadget to help you keep better track of your stuff at home – then the Apple AirTag is designed for you. It’s a business-to-consumer tool for small-scale asset tracking. However, if you’re in need of an enterprise asset tracking tool with hundreds of capabilities, Link Labs’ AirFinder platform has you covered.
Bottom line: Apple AirTags work well for consumers who are trying to track a few things and if you have a “help me find” use case - if you need enterprise asset tracking, Link Labs’ AirFinder is the clear choice.
Everyone thinks of Apple as a leader in new technology, and Apple rightly is. Where would we be without the Apple iPhone, iPad, or iPods? Apple has revolutionized technology and how we live and work.
Link Labs has done the same with enterprise asset tracking. Link Labs is a leading innovator in low-power, wide-area network technologies that power IoT. The company was founded in 2014 by a group of veteran engineers from the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab who had worked together on a variety of projects for the U.S. Department of Defense, telecommunications industry, and intelligence community.
Link Labs holds nearly 30 patents related to low-power, wide-area networks, and indoor/outdoor positioning technology. Link Labs is leading the revolution forward for companies to track high-value assets indoors, outdoors, and everywhere in between with its AirFinder OnSite and SuperTag technologies.
AirFinder makes locating and monitoring anything, anywhere easy, affordable, and impactful. The technology breaks the compromise between solution cost and performance with seamless integration of intelligent radio-frequency identification (RFID) and low-power IoT network technologies.
Organizations of all types – from manufacturing and construction companies to hospitals, shipping companies, and fulfillment centers – own or lease all sorts of assets and have a team of invaluable people that are essential to everyday business operations. This makes it crucial for these companies to not only know where their assets are at all times but also monitor product lifecycle information and the processes using these assets.
Link Labs offers a comprehensive enterprise asset and employee tracking IoT platform that can help.
So, what is the AirFinder solution and how does it work? Link Labs offers two AirFinder solution variations to meet your business-specific needs: AirFinder OnSite and AirFinder Everywhere.
The AirFinder system is WIFI and IT independent with simple installations and an easy-to-use online platform. These features allow for an enterprise asset tracking system at a lower cost and a higher ROI for you.
