Challenges of untracked assets

Without a reliable system to track assets, businesses suffer from hidden costs that impact productivity and profitability.

Inventory blind spots

The struggle with "ghost inventory" and the inability to know the precise location of tools, equipment, or materials, leading to wasted time and operational delays.

Operational inefficiencies

A lack of real-time data prevents managers from analyzing usage patterns, optimizing asset allocation, and improving overall workflow efficiency.

Unplanned downtime

Misplaced tools or equipment can halt critical workflows, leading to costly production interruptions and missed deadlines.

Safety & security risks

In highly regulated environments, untracked assets can lead to safety incidents (e.g., Foreign Object Debris in aviation) or unauthorized access to high-value equipment.

Our Asset Tracking Solutions

We build a complete, intelligent ecosystem tailored to your operational needs, with an emphasis on accuracy, resilience, and actionable data.

01 The foundation of data capture

Custom tags & anchors

We engineer custom UWB tags, beacons, and anchors that are more than simple transponders. Our tags can be miniaturized for wearables or ruggedized for industrial environments, ensuring perfect fit and durability.

Rapid deployment

We eliminate the need for manual calibration of every anchor with our unique autopositioning anchors. This solution simplifies infrastructure setup, reducing deployment time from days to minutes, and is ideal for dynamic warehouse layouts or temporary setups.

Multi-protocol support

Our tags are built to support multiple protocols. We combine UWB for centimeter-level accuracy and BLE for cost-effective, wide-coverage tracking, giving you a versatile and resilient network.

02 The engine of intelligence

Location & motion engine

Our core engine delivers high-accuracy positioning by fusing data from UWB with our Motion & Orientation Module. This allows the system to understand not just where an asset is, but what it’s doing—whether it’s in motion, dropped, or idle.

Multi-source event correlation

Our Multi-Source Event Correlation Engine transforms raw location data into intelligent events and insights. It combines UWB's precise position with data from other sensors (e.g., temperature, pressure) to detect complex scenarios, such as a high-value asset experiencing a drop.

Custom alerts & geofencing

We build a system that enables precise, automated actions based on location data. You can set custom geofences and triggers to receive instant alerts when an asset enters or exits a predefined zone, or when an unauthorized movement is detected.

03 The interface of control

Unified analytics dashboard

We provide a centralized dashboard that visualizes the location, status, and usage history of all your assets in real time. This interface is designed to transform complex data into clear, actionable intelligence.

Seamless API integration

We build the necessary API gateways to connect your new asset tracking system with your existing enterprise systems, such as MES, WMS, and ERP. This ensures our solution delivers full business value by integrating with your core operational platforms.

Business benefits

Our asset tracking solutions are engineered to deliver a clear and measurable return on investment, transforming operational challenges into strategic advantages.

Boost productivity

Reduce manual search times and eliminate the costly downtime associated with misplaced tools and equipment.

Optimize resource allocation

Gain a strategic view of asset utilization to right-size your inventory, reduce unnecessary capital expenditure, and streamline workflows.

Enhance safety & security

Implement geofencing and automated alerts to prevent accidents and protect high-value assets from unauthorized access or theft.

Improve compliance

Generate automated reports on tool usage, location, and maintenance history, ensuring you meet strict regulatory and safety standards.

Asset Tracking Solutions: Case studies

Bluetooth low energy badge for proximity data and automated sharing

We engineered a compact, ultra-low-power BLE badge designed for seamless proximity data sharing and asset identification. The solution enables reliable, real-time presence detection and integrates with existing infrastructure for automated digital workflows.

Smart Wearable Xtrava Health’s Butterfly.care

Smart wearable for infant vital signs and safety monitoring

We engineered a sophisticated, safety-critical wearable device for infant care, the Butterfly.care, integrating an AI engine and multiple sensors. The solution features BLE communication, vital sign tracking (including breathing and sleep patterns), and Over-the-Air (OTA) update capability, ensuring precision, safety, and power-efficient operation.

Testimonials

“I think the key takeaway from needCode is their ability to adapt and understand the customer's requirements. That took away probably a large portion of what could have been a lot of development time and expense for both companies.”

Bob Folkestad

President at Creative Werks

“One aspect that truly sets needCode apart is its profound expertise in firmware development. Their proficiency in various programming languages, embedded systems and hardware architecture is truly impressive. When faced with difficult problems, their strong problem-solving skills and analytical mindset shine through, allowing them to overcome obstacles with remarkable ease.”

Semeh Sarhan

CEO at Xtrava

“I worked with needCode while leading the NWTN-Berlin team in 2018. A big chunk for our FW development has been outsourced to them and they had proven to iterate very quickly, following specs and deliver on time. It was great working with them. I recommend working with needCode’s team on any Embedded SW development.”

Marco Salvioli Mariani

CTO at NWTN Berlin GmbH

“needCode Team proved to be one of the best engineers I have ever met. The part I like the most about the team is the more difficult an obstacle seems to be, the more motivated they were to find a solution and a way forward.”

Szymon Słupik

CTO at Silvair

“needCode is an outstanding partner. Their quick follow-up, scalability, and extensive professional network set them apart. Their expertise in wireless technologies has been valuable, supporting us from low-level drivers to architecture discussions.”

Tim Allemeersch
