Introducing the Blyott Sticker

In today's technology-driven world, efficient asset tracking is more important than ever. Businesses across various industries face significant challenges in managing their assets, including inefficiencies, losses, and lack of real-time data. Introducing the BT-BS, the world's thinnest battery-powered Blyott sticker sensor. This groundbreaking innovation is designed to address these challenges by providing a versatile and powerful solution for asset tracking.

Let’s delve into the features, benefits, applications, and potential impact of the BT-BS, exploring why it's set to revolutionise asset management.


The Need for Advanced Asset Tracking

Current Challenges

Asset tracking is a critical component for many businesses, yet it often comes with a set of challenges. Traditional methods can be inefficient, prone to errors, and lack real-time capabilities. These issues can lead to asset losses, increased operational costs, and reduced productivity.

Importance of Miniaturization

As technology evolves, the need for smaller, more versatile sensors has become evident. Miniaturized sensors like the BT-BS offer enhanced flexibility, allowing them to be used in a variety of environments and on different types of assets. This miniaturization does not compromise on performance; instead, it opens up new possibilities for efficient asset management.

No more RFID

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) performs better than RFID in asset tracking due to its superior range, lower power consumption, and enhanced data capabilities. Unlike RFID, which typically requires close proximity to readers and has limited data transmission capabilities, BLE can communicate over greater distances and support continuous, real-time data transfer. BLE's low energy consumption allows for longer battery life, making it more suitable for applications requiring prolonged, autonomous operation. Additionally, BLE offers robust encryption for secure data transmission, which is critical in environments where data integrity and security are paramount. These advantages make BLE a more versatile and efficient choice for modern asset tracking solutions.


Introducing the BT-BS Sticker Sensor

Product Overview

The BT-BS sticker sensor is a cutting-edge device designed to track smaller mobile assets such as laptops and tablets. Despite its compact size, it boasts impressive features and capabilities that set it apart in the market.

Design and Build

The BT-BS is incredibly thin, measuring just less than 1 mm in height, with dimensions of 60 mm x 60 mm. It's built with clear PET and adhesive, making it easy to attach to various surfaces. Its sleek, white design ensures it blends seamlessly with different environments.

Technology Inside

Powered by BLE 4.0 and above, the BT-BS offers robust connectivity. It includes a printed zinc and manganese dioxide battery that can last up to three years, depending on BLE advertising intervals. The sensor's range extends up to 15 meters, providing reliable performance even in challenging conditions.


Key Features and Benefits

Ultra-Thin Design

One of the standout features of the BT-BS is its ultra-thin design. This makes it highly adaptable and unobtrusive, suitable for a wide range of applications. Its thin profile ensures it can be placed on almost any asset without causing interference or bulk.

Battery Life

With a battery life of up to three years, the BT-BS offers long-term reliability. This extended battery life reduces the need for frequent replacements and maintenance, thereby lowering operational costs and ensuring continuous monitoring.

Sensing Capabilities

The BT-BS is equipped with advanced location and temperature sensors. These capabilities allow for precise tracking and monitoring of asset conditions, making it an ideal solution for various industries. The built-in sensors enhance the overall functionality, providing critical data for effective asset management.

Data Security

Security is paramount in asset tracking, and the BT-BS ensures data integrity with AES-128 encryption. This level of security protects sensitive information and ensures that data transmission is both encrypted and authenticated.


Diverse Applications of BT-BS

Asset Tracking for IT Equipment

The BT-BS is perfect for tracking IT equipment like laptops and tablets. Its small size and powerful features make it ideal for managing these valuable assets, ensuring they are always accounted for and reducing the risk of loss or theft.

Cold Chain Monitoring

In the pharmaceutical industry, maintaining the correct temperature for medicines is crucial. The BT-BS can monitor temperature conditions accurately, making it an excellent choice for cold chain monitoring. This ensures that medicines are stored and transported under optimal conditions.

Smart Cabinets

When combined with the Blyott Mobile Locator (BTM1), the BT-BS can transform standard cabinets into smart cabinets. This upgrade allows for real-time tracking of stored items, improving inventory management and ensuring that items are always available when needed.

Healthcare Use Cases

In healthcare settings, the BT-BS offers numerous benefits. It can track medical equipment and supplies, ensuring they are always in the right place at the right time. This enhances operational efficiency and patient safety, making it an invaluable tool in healthcare environments.


Real-World Use Cases
