How to optimize your asset tracking and make processes more efficient with the Cavea Wirepas Mesh Starterkit
Industrial companies are faced with the challenge of making their processes more efficient while simultaneously reducing costs. In addition to increasing competitive demands, the shortage of skilled workers and an aging workforce are intensifying the pressure on companies to make processes more efficient, automated and resource-efficient. A crucial role is played here by process optimization through intelligent location solutions. But which technology is best suited for a precise and scalable asset tracking solution?
This is precisely where the Cavea Wirepas Mesh Starterkit, which we developed in collaboration with our partner Flowcate, comes in. With the latest mesh technology, it enables companies to test various applications quickly, easily and flexibly. Thanks to its rapid integration into existing systems and its simple and quick installation, the Starterkit offers an ideal way to digitize processes, optimize material flows and create transparency in production and logistics.
But what makes Cavea Wirepas Mesh technology so special? In addition to precise asset tracking and scalable real-time data, it impresses with its quick and easy implementation. In the next section, we will show you how straightforward it is to install the Cavea Wirepas Mesh Starterkit – for a direct start without technical hurdles.
How easy is it to install the Cavea Wirepas Mesh Starterkit?
The Cavea Wirepas Mesh Starterkit enables companies to get up and running quickly and easily. Thanks to a user-friendly installation, companies can get the Starterkit up and running in no time and test their first applications.
Installation takes just a few steps:
- Position the gateway – The gateway connects the system to the cloud and handles the data transfer. It is the only device that requires a power connection. It is important that the LTE signal can leave the hall unobstructed to ensure a stable connection. As soon as the gateway has connected, the signal light turns green.
- Installing anchors – The anchors, which serve as reference points for localization, are attached to the hall walls, for example, at a height of about 3 meters. The recommended distance between anchors is 10 to 15 meters to ensure optimal coverage. The anchors can be mounted using screws, double-sided tape, industrial adhesive, cable ties or magnets (if the surface is metallic). The position of each anchor is then placed on the map of your working environment using the Network Tool with a simple drag and drop. No cabling or complex calibration is necessary.
- Attaching TRIBRID® tags – The small, battery-powered tags are attached directly to the equipment to be tracked. Depending on the surface, they can either be attached using adhesive, cable ties, magnets or screws.
Once all components are in place, the system can be put into operation.
The Cavea Wirepas Mesh Starter Kit is ready for use in just a few steps. But the starter kit not only impresses with its easy installation – it also offers a range of advantages that set it apart from other solutions.
Why the Cavea Wirepas Mesh Starterkit is the ideal RTLS entry point for your organization
Adopting new location technologies can be a daunting task for businesses. Which solution is best suited to their unique requirements? How difficult is it to integrate? And is it worth the investment? This is where the Cavea Wirepas Mesh Starterkit comes in. It offers a ready-to-go, flexible and cost-effective way to test various applications – with little technical effort and no long-term commitment.
The Starterkit allows companies to test the Cavea Wirepas Mesh technology in their own environment. Whether it is for tracking materials, machines or tools, the system can be quickly customized and configured. This gives companies valuable insights into which solution best suits their needs before deciding on a large-scale implementation.
But what makes our Starterkit special?
Wireless – Easy installation
Wireless mesh technology eliminates the need for complex cabling. Anchor and tags communicate wirelessly, which means that the system can also be used in existing infrastructures without the need for construction work. Particularly practical: the anchors have a battery life of up to 10 years, which reduces maintenance to a minimum.
Interoperable – a system that integrates seamlessly
Mit dem Cavea Wirepas Mesh Starterkit setzen Unternehmen auf eine Lösung, die sich mühelos in bestehende IT- und Produktionssysteme integrieren lässt. Die Software bietet moderne API-Schnittstellen, sodass eine einfache Anbindung an ERP- und WMS-Systeme möglich ist. Zudem unterstützt das TRIBRID® Tag bereits weitere Technologien wie AoA, BLE und RFID. Diese können genutzt werden, sofern die entsprechende Infrastruktur vorhanden ist oder später hinzugekauft wird – ohne dass neue oder zusätzliche Tags erforderlich sind.
Scalable – grows with your requirements
A key advantage of the Cavea Wirepas Mesh system is its high scalability. Companies can start with just a few tags and anchors and expand the system in stages as needed. The technology tracks thousands of objects simultaneously and can easily cover even large industrial facilities.
Open – Independence through industry standards
Thanks to Omlox compatibility, companies benefit from a future-proof, open solution that works independently of individual manufacturers. This means no vendor lock-in, but maximum flexibility when expanding and customizing the system.
Cost-effective – high utility at low investment cost
The Starterkit offers a cost-effective way to test asset tracking and process optimization – without large initial investments. Companies not only save through shorter search times and the automation of manual processes, but also benefit from the system’s rapid amortization. Inefficient processes are made visible and optimization potential can be exploited in a targeted manner. Many companies achieve a positive ROI within 12 months, even for larger rollouts, and reduce their operating costs by up to 70% compared to conventional tracking systems.
High precision – reliable location
With a location accuracy of 1 to 3 meters, the Cavea Wirepas Mesh system enables seamless tracking and booking of assets, machines and materials – even in complex industrial environments.
The Cavea Wirepas Mesh Starterkit provides companies with an industry-proven solution for testing various tracking applications in their own production or logistics environment. The combination of easy installation, flexible scalability and high cost efficiency makes the system an ideal choice for those who want to experience the benefits of RTLS without a high investment risk.
Test a wide range of applications quickly and easily
The Cavea Wirepas Mesh Starterkit offers companies the opportunity to easily test a variety of use cases to find the best solution for them.
With the Starterkit, you can test various use cases, such as:
- Asset Tracking: Track load carriers, tools and materials with high precision and improve transparency in your production or warehousing.
