FAQ

What is Bluetooth tool tracking and how does it work?

Bluetooth tool tracking uses Bluetooth technology to monitor the location and status of tools in real-time. Small Bluetooth tags are attached to the tools, which then communicate with Bluetooth gateways to provide location data. This information is collected and displayed in a central software system, allowing for easy tracking and management of assets.

How does Bluetooth asset tracking improve inventory management?

Bluetooth asset tracking improves inventory management by providing real-time updates on the location and status of assets. This reduces the time spent searching for tools and equipment, minimizes losses, and ensures that all assets are accounted for. The system also helps in maintaining accurate inventory records, which can be critical for planning and resource allocation.

What are the advantages of using wireless tool tracking for construction projects?

Using wireless tool tracking for construction projects offers several advantages, including increased efficiency, reduced downtime, and enhanced asset visibility. It allows for the quick location of tools on large job sites, automates asset transfers, and ensures that equipment is always where it is needed. This leads to more streamlined operations and improved project timelines.

How does AlignOps wireless tracking integrate with existing systems?

AlignOps wireless tracking integrates seamlessly with existing systems that your business uses every day, including ERP, accounting, and project management software. This integration allows for the smooth flow of data between systems, improving overall operational efficiency and enabling better decision-making based on accurate, real-time information.

Can AlignOps wireless tracking be used in harsh environments?

Yes, AlignOps wireless tracking is designed to withstand harsh environments typically found in construction and industrial settings. The Bluetooth tags and gateways are built to be durable and resistant to dust, water, and extreme temperatures, ensuring reliable performance in any condition.

What is the difference between GPS tracking and Bluetooth tracking?

GPS devices provide real-time satellite visibility for high-value equipment, even when it’s offsite. Bluetooth tags and gateways provide coverage for tools and mid-size assets across jobsites and warehouses. ToolWatch combines both for full visibility.

How does the Universal Map work with wireless tracking?

The Universal Map displays every tracked asset — GPS devices, BLE tags, and barcode-scanned items — in one interactive view. Icons, filters, and time-based shading make it easy to see what you have, where it is, and when it was last scanned.

Do I need location sharing enabled on my phone for items to show on the map?

Yes. To view BLE-tagged tools and barcode-scanned items on the Universal Map, users need to have location sharing enabled on their mobile devices.

Can ToolWatch detect embedded Bluetooth tags in Milwaukee and DEWALT tools?

Yes. ToolWatch can identify embedded BLE tags in Milwaukee and DEWALT tools, making it easier to add, track, and manage popular brand tools without additional hardware.

How are tool transfers recorded with wireless tracking?

 When a tagged asset moves from one location to another, ToolWatch automatically records the transfer, including job costing and billing charges — eliminating manual entry.

What happens if a tracked tool doesn’t appear on the map?

 Check that the item has an active tracker assigned, verify location sharing is enabled on the mobile device, and review the tracker’s battery status. You can also view scan history to confirm the most recent location.
