The company is unveiling a suite of active asset tags, including
the Nano RT, Nano LP, the Dura ET, Dura PT, and Dura AC. These
low-energy tags bring diverse form factors, environmental ratings,
and capabilities to meet customers’ unique asset tracking
needs—from low-profile tags for tracking small, hand-held assets to
ultra-durable tags designed to withstand harsh environments.
The Nano RT and Nano LP tags, in particular, offer enterprises
distinct features and capabilities typically unavailable in a tiny
form factor. For example, the Nano RT, one of MachineQ’s smallest
tag form factors, has an up to 8+ year battery life and includes a
remotely triggered LED for last-meter item finding in high-density
environments. The Nano LP offers an up to 2+ year battery life and
ultra-slim form factor, making it ideal for tracking hand-held
assets, like tools or pipettes, without interfering with the
ergonomics of the equipment.
“These tags were purpose-built to offer customers flexible
options for tracking and monitoring equipment and assets critical
to their day-to-day operations,” said Gaurav Naik, Head of
Engineering at MachineQ. “We leaned into the operational expertise
of our team to evaluate how to fit in as many features and
capabilities without compromising base requirements such as
extended battery life. As a result, in life sciences, for example,
these new tags can enable companies to track assets through
solvent-based wash cycles in a wide temperature operating range –
from -40ºC to +80ºC.”
In addition to debuting the new asset tag form factors, MachineQ
is augmenting its current suite of indoor asset tracking and
facilities wellness solutions by adding space utilization. This new
solution leverages privacy-centric sensors to count the number of
people occupying a room, helping facility managers understand space
utilization and traffic patterns. With real-time and historical
occupancy data – visualized through the MQinsights application –
organizations can make data-driven decisions regarding space
allocation and layout, resource distribution, and operational
efficiency.
In life sciences, for example, lab management and facilities
teams can identify if lab space and equipment are being over or
underutilized and optimize the distribution of lab equipment,
helping provide scientists with the tools and space they need to
perform science and drive revenue. Additionally, the data derived
from the space utilization capability provides procurement and
finance teams with information to help them optimize budgets and
right-size inventory – from consumables to equipment – bolstering
the data’s value across the broader enterprise.
"We're thrilled to diversify our product and solution set to
meet the evolving needs of our customers," said Steven Corbesero,
Jr., Director of Product and Solutions at MachineQ. He adds, "We’re
helping to provide organizations with peace of mind knowing they
can use our tools to support monitoring their operations in
real-time for immediate, corrective, and predictive actions. Plus,
we’re doing so with the total cost of ownership in mind and
continuously looking to roll out new solutions on top of the same
IoT network connectivity platform our customers already use for
their asset tracking needs."
With these bolt-on products and solutions, enterprise customers
can help maximize the value of capital investments by increasing
data visibility, reducing issues relating to leak detection and
temperature and humidity monitoring – improving the quality and
safety of operations, and attaining a holistic view of asset health
remotely and in real-time.
