The misplacement of industrial assets such as mobile toolkits, machinery, parts and WIP inventory is a significant issue for manufacturers, sometimes costing companies as much as $1 million per incident.

By implementing Cisco’s Wi-Fi Asset Tracking solution, manufacturers can gain greater visibility into their enterprise, track the presence and real-time location of high-value manufacturing assets, and substantially increase operational efficiencies by reducing misplacement incidents.

Cisco’s Wi-Fi Asset Tracking solution is comprised of the Cisco 2700 Series Wireless Location Appliance, the Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS), Lightweight Access Point Protocol Controller, Cisco Aironet Access Points, AeroScout Wi-Fi-based Active RFID tags and AeroScout MobileView Software.

Together, these components deliver a comprehensive RF location architecture that allows organizations to gather location information and track assets in the most demanding environments.
