What are BLE Beacons?

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons are small, battery-powered wireless devices that communicate with GPS trackers over short distances (up to 30 metres). They enable a wide range of monitoring applications that traditional GPS alone cannot provide.

BLE Applications in Fleet Management

1. Driver Identification

• Each driver carries a small BLE card or tag
• When they enter the vehicle, the GPS tracker automatically identifies them
• No manual login needed — automatic driver assignment
• Alerts if an unauthorized person drives the vehicle
• Driver-specific reports without manual input

2. Wireless Temperature Sensors

BLE temperature probes installed in cargo compartments transmit readings to the GPS tracker wirelessly:

• No wiring between sensor and tracker
• Multiple zones monitored (front, middle, rear of container)
• Battery life up to 3 years
• IP67 waterproof for washable environments

3. Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPMS)

• BLE sensors mounted on each tyre valve
• Real-time pressure and temperature readings
• Low pressure and over-temperature alerts
• Prevent blowouts and extend tyre life by 20-30%
• Improve fuel efficiency by maintaining optimal pressure

4. Door and Cargo Sensors

• Magnetic BLE sensors on cargo doors
• Alert when door opens at unauthorized locations
• Duration of door opening tracked
• Correlate with temperature changes for cold chain

5. Trailer and Asset Tracking

• BLE beacons on trailers, containers, and assets
• Automatic trailer coupling/uncoupling detection
• Know which trailer is connected to which truck
• Track non-motorized assets through nearby vehicles

BLE vs Wired Sensors
