Track and Trace Solutions

What are Track and Trace?

The terms track & trace although used together, actually mean two different things. The track and trace typically have been used for air cargo track and trace,  track and trace container, etc but track and trace solutions are not limited to these.

Tracking is the ability to locate in terms of positional parameters, where an asset or a person is currently located within a region/area, which can be termed as tracking. It also allows for monitoring to give a near real-time location. This tells where a particular asset or person is located at that particular time in real-time.

The other term Trace is actually the ability to track back the footsteps or previous locations of the given asset or person. If one can keep track and store the location coordinates of assets or people, it can provide you with a complete trace path of their movement around.

What is the difference between tracking and tracing?

The typical difference is that tracking is forward-looking and tries to track the current location. Tracing at the same time is backward-looking and tries to check where the previous locations were before getting to the current location.

How does the Track and Trace solution work?

Any such tracking and traceability solution would need a tag or id for the asset or person being tracked. This tag now gets tracked by the system. The Tag communicates with the server through a chain of intermediate relays. These relays do the part of tracking and passing the information to the central server. These relays act as a network that communicates with the people tag as well as asset tag as well as each other and most importantly with the central server over a wifi network.

Features of Track and Trace solution

Some of the features which the track and trace solution offers:

• 24×7 monitoring: To get useful insights on asset/people locations, the devices must track and send information reliably and continuously to be more effective.
• Low Maintenance: The Bluetooth (BLE) technology used makes it a power-efficient and low power consumption device leading to a long-lasting battery, therefore, needing low onsite maintenance.
• Data Analytics
  The data provided can be used to make informed business decisions. It can also provide additional information apart from just the location.
• Device Security
  With constant monitoring of the assets and people, the data transmitted is secure between the devices
