Heavy duty BLE. Built to outlast the asset.

Why Heavy Duty

Built for the assets that take a beating.

🛡

Built for the outdoors

Ruggedized housing designed for retail and industrial applications. Magnetic activation, slim 4.6″ profile. Mounts discreetly on carts, motorized equipment, returnable bins, and yard rolling stock.

Real-time beacon rate

2-second beacon interval delivers near real-time location updates — fast enough to track movement and dwell across busy floors, parking lots, and yards as it happens.

🔋

5-year battery

CR2450 cell powers up to 5 years at the 2-second beacon rate. Long enough to outlast the working life of most assets — one tag, no battery swaps.

The BLE stack

Heavy duty for the workhorses. Peel and stick for the rest.

Use the Heavy Duty Bluetooth Beacon for high-value, rugged, outdoor assets — carts, motorized equipment, returnable bins. Use the Peel and Stick Tracker for high-volume, low-cost assets — hand baskets, totes, stocking carts. Both report to the same STG gateways: pair with a Wireless Gateway for stationary in-store coverage, or with a Combo Tracker for a mobile gateway that picks up beacons in transit.

Tag the assets that have to last.
