Five reasons to choose Bluetooth module instead of RFID for asset location management

There are many similarities between the two, such as: 2.4G frequency band. The wireless module power consumption is very low. They can all be located by the base station. Positioning can be assisted by third parties, because there are many similarities, there is hesitation when choosing a plan, of course, the final choice or from user scenarios, but from the perspective of technology development and reliability, Bluetooth positioning is the development of RFID direction, so let's do it together.

Universality of IoT applications:

To choose any technical solution, you need to consider the versatility of the equipment, especially the subsequent expansion or addition of new equipment, there is only one choice, if you choose a technical solution early, there is no alternative in the future, and it will face huge risks to users, including company development. sustainability, whether there is a single source cost in the future, etc.

Currently, active RFID on the market is a private protocol that varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. Neither device can directly connect to data. If on, you must develop and connect. To put up barriers, some manufacturers manually increase the difficulty of connecting devices, making data connections more difficult.

2. Equipment adaptability:

In addition to connecting to its own device, device adaptability is the connection of a positioning device to other devices on the market. Only by interacting with more devices will there be more and more application scenarios, and the integration of positioning services will be more and more deeply, thus avoiding the formation of information islands.

Private agreements for active RFID naturally lead to silos. Most active RFID applications on the market are their own applications, which are difficult to integrate with other devices, resulting in the solidification of their own application scenarios and the inability to implement more scenario applications. Bluetooth communication technology is not difficult. At present, electronic devices basically support the Bluetooth function, and the standard Bluetooth protocol also replaces the connection of supporting devices to realize applications in more scenarios.

3. Diversity of IoT applications:

Take smart hospitals as an example. Hospital scenarios not only have asset management functions, but also need to upload data to the cloud (such as blood pressure monitors, oximeters, smart infusion sets, etc.). At the same time, the background needs to send data to the corresponding terminal, and install a Bluetooth gateway device indoors, which can not only manage hospital equipment, but also realize more IoT applications.
Fourth, the future development of Internet of Things wireless communication applications:

The development of any technology requires a large number of players. The more participants, the better the universality of technological development, and the more applications of the technology, thereby better promoting the development of technology. There is a huge alliance in the development of Bluetooth communication modules, from 2.0, 4.0, 5.0, 5.1 communication protocols, each time is technological progress and integration, and each time is compatible with the previous protocol. The private attributes of active RFID make it difficult to form alliances to promote technological development, resulting in slow technological development and even inability to continuously update.
None, the accuracy of wireless communication positioning module:

At present, the positioning accuracy of active RFID is within the range of 5-10 meters, and the positioning accuracy of ordinary Bluetooth can reach 1-3 meters. If you consider using Bluetooth AOA positioning technology, the positioning accuracy can reach about 750px.

In indoor asset management, the Bluetooth module has achieved a perfect victory in the competition with active RFID.
