Power Management
Location tracking through GPS, cell tower, or WiFi triangulation consumes significant power. Manufacturers must balance update frequency, sensor usage, and communication intervals to manage their devices’ longevity.
Design and deploy IoT devices with built-in location tracking to monitor assets, vehicles, and shipments easily as they move worldwide.
Optimizing power, coverage, and system integration early helps you deploy location tracking devices that are accurate, efficient, and ready to scale.
Location tracking through GPS, cell tower, or WiFi triangulation consumes significant power. Manufacturers must balance update frequency, sensor usage, and communication intervals to manage their devices’ longevity.
Ensuring reliable, global connectivity is challenging in remote areas, especially as your device moves between coverage areas. Using multiple radio access technologies in tandem allows for redundancy and reduces the chance of losing connectivity.
Accurately capturing, transmitting, and interpreting location data requires seamless integration between hardware, connectivity modules, firmware, and cloud services. All parts of your devices must integrate seamlessly to scale your fleet of devices.
With location tracking, manufacturers can monitor the movement and usage of industrial equipment across large facilities or job sites. This improves visibility, reduces the risk of misplaced or stolen assets, and ensures critical tools are where needed, when needed.
With fleet and vehicle tracking, transportation companies can monitor the location, movement, and status of trucks, trailers, and delivery vehicles across long-haul routes. This level of location tracking improves route planning, reduces fuel consumption, and enhances driver safety.
With supply chain tracking, retailers can monitor the location and condition of shipments as they move from warehouse to store. This level of location tracking helps prevent delays, reduces inventory shortages, and improves coordination across logistics partners.
Blues solves the challenge of remotely accessing device data through wireless connectivity with your radio access technology of choice: Cellular, WiFi, Satellite, or LoRa.
Blues gives product builders access to data to streamline operational efficiency, improve business value, and unlock new revenue streams.
By clearing the road of technical complexity, our customers can develop remote monitoring products in days, pilot them in weeks, and scale in months.
“By using the Blues platform, we saved about 12 months of R&D time, getting us to market about a year sooner.”

Together the Notecard and Notehub provide a robust solution for secure, reliable, and energy-efficient communication between device and cloud.
Choose from cellular, WiFi, satellite, Lora, or a combination of radio access technologies to wirelessly connect to your device.
When you build your device, include a Notecard. A low-power, system-on-module that enables wireless communication between your device and the cloud.
Using Notehub, our cloud orchestration layer, you can configure your device and update your device remotely.
Notecard sends your device data to Notehub using encrypted, off-internet channels. You can access your data as single JSON packets.
From Notehub, send your data to any major cloud or analytics platform you choose with a low-code implementation.
