(6/6) Result? Theft reduced to almost zero.
Savings: 6k USD/month.
Sometimes, the simplest tech (like BLE) can solve the biggest problems.

(5/6) BLE was perfect:
✅ No collision issues (star, mesh topologies made that irrelevant)
✅ Cheaper tags/beacons.
✅ Easy to source & implement.
We built a custom BLE reader module & used NRF51822 beacons. Real-time location updates, no theft, no hassle.

(4/6) RFID fixes existed (UHF tags, advanced readers), but they were:
❌ Too expensive for Indian clients.
❌ Logistically complex.
We needed something cost-effective and scalable.
Enter BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy).

(3/6) I hadn't.
Turns out, when two RFID tags are scanned together, neither gets read.
Factory workers exploited this flaw to steal inventory. One client lost almost 6k USD in a month!
We had to find a better solution.

(2/6) Back in 2021, a Delhi entrepreneur called me:
"We need an asset tracking solution."
➡️ GPS, GSM, WiFi - the standard stuff.
"But there's a problem with RFID tags," he said.
"Ever heard of 'collision'?"
