Abstract
As wireless technologies continue to develop, real-time location tracking has become increasingly
realizable with improved energy consumption and location accuracy. This makes these systems
more attractive for industrial applications where companies can track the locations of important
assets and equipment. One area that is not quite as explored as pure asset tracking is utilizing
location tracking to improve employee safety in warehouse settings. For example, warehouses
often involve dangerous and moving equipment such as forklifts, which can collide with each other
or their environment and put employees at risk. This project seeks to address that gap by designing
and implementing a system that improves the safety of workers in a way that is affordable and
energy efficient through the use of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) asset tracking. In this project, a
system that utilizes BLE to locate the real-time position of two objects within a specified space
and displays this information to users was designed, implemented, and tested.
