How are Beacons on Mobile Assets connected to Ops?

What is the process for connecting a Beacon on a Mobile Asset back to Ops?

On a paid portfolio, we connect the Estimate iBeacon, in the iBeacon field of the assets on the iPhone or iPad. You select the iBeacon ID and it associates the beacon to the asset.

 

For this to work efficiently, you need to create a map of your building in BIM 360 Ops, have your building registered with Apple and the Apple Indoor survey completed.

 

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Hi @ludwig.kimber ,

 

BIM 360 Ops uses the Estimote Proximity iBeacon as our "last known" asset tracking device. 

 

You can add the beacon to the Asset in BIM 360 Ops, once the ibeacon packet is configured with the Estimote software.  You add the specific beacon ID by editing the asset and selecting the beacon ID.  These beacon are Bluetooth connected to the phone.  See the attached sample video.  Once connected,  the beacon will show and timestamp the last known location on the BIM 360 Ops indoor map and 

 

I have also attached our computer cart simulation video.

 

Thanks,
