Identiv’s guides explain how IoT tags work and when to use each one. Learn how BLE tags and sensing labels report location and condition, how UHF RFID handles bulk counting at chokepoints, and how NFC connects products to phones with a single tap. Each guide covers the technology, the trade-offs, and what it takes to deploy asset tracking and smart labels at scale.
A BLE tag broadcasts a Bluetooth Low Energy signal so nearby phones and gateways can detect and locate it. Sensing labels also report temperature, humidity, and light exposure.

An asset tagging label carries a unique identifier so you can find, count, and audit equipment without writing down serial numbers. Here’s when those labels need to be RFID.

RFID asset tracking uses radio frequency tags and readers to record where an asset is and what has happened to it, without line of sight and hundreds of tags at a time.

BLE asset tracking uses Bluetooth Low Energy tags plus gateways or phones to show where physical assets are and what condition they’re in, continuously rather than at checkpoints.
