Personal item tracking

In today’s fast-paced world, personal belongings such as keys, wallets, or luggage are easily misplaced or lost. Modern asset-tracking solutions help users locate valuable items in real time and provide better control over personal belongings. Compact and energy-efficient MEMS sensors by Bosch Sensortec enable direct tracking, offering reliable visibility for everyday belongings.

Discover all asset tracking use cases

Motion context detection enables reliable classification of motion context, distinguishing between in-motion and stationary states while detecting vibrations and their characteristics such as intensity and duration. This insight provides a detailed understanding of how assets are handled, transported, and utilized throughout logistics and warehouse environments. To support predictive maintenance and optimize asset utilization, our sensors offer high accuracy, sensitivity to motion and vibration, ultra-low power consumption all in compact size.

Enabling sensors:

Shock and fall detection identifies impacts on fragile assets, providing timely alerts and detailed data for analysis. Our sensors detect shock and fall events, including magnitude, duration, fall height, and impact angle, delivering critical insights about incidents contexts. MEMS sensors can also measure tilt and orientation of packages or containers and enable real-time monitoring of an asset’s for full transparency of shipment conditions. This allows automated alerts and decisions to ensure proper handling and maintain asset integrity. Our MEMS sensing solutions combine high accuracy, stability, ultra-low power consumption, compact size, and robust performance for reliable monitoring in demanding environments.

Enabling sensors:

Environmental measurement enables real-time monitoring of temperature, humidity, and air quality during asset storage and shipment. Alerts can be triggered when thresholds are exceeded, ensuring the proper environmental conditions are maintained to protect asset integrity, for example, maintaining the cold chain during shipment of food products. Reliable, high-precision, fast-responding, and energy-efficient sensors with compact design are essential for consistent performance in changing environmental conditions.

Enabling sensors:

Driver behavior analytics enables precise monitoring and evaluation of driving patterns during the transportation of assets. By capturing critical insights through tracking speed, acceleration, and impact events, this data allows you to identify and address risky driving habits proactively, leading to improved safety for your fleet and reduced operational costs.

Enabling sensors:

Position tracking and geofencing provide continuous visibility of assets or animals. This is achieved by monitoring their real-time location and defining virtual boundaries for specific zones like warehouses, delivery areas, or, in the context of animal tracking, within designated areas. By detecting when assets or animals enter or leave predefined locations, the system provides instant alerts in case of unauthorized movement or route deviations.

Enabling sensors:

Activity tracking enables continuous monitoring of key behavioral patterns such as rumination, feeding, and movement to provide a comprehensive view of animal health and well-being. By capturing and analyzing these activities, the data help detect early signs of stress, illness, or changes in condition that may require attention. In addition, tracking metrics such as step count and estimated distance traveled offers deeper insights into daily activity levels and mobility. These data can be also used to optimize land use and management.
