You can set up screen and email alerts based on asset type, location and sensor data. But what if you need more than this? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BeaconRTLS\u2122 stores historical information which provides for industry or scenario specific reporting. For example, recent customers have been asking for Covid specific reports such as room occupancy and who has been in the same room at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The BeaconRTLS\u2122 API allows your systems or reporting systems to access the data. However, this is of less use for those who want to implement solutions quickly and easily. The tricky part is that we have found every customer tends to need different reporting. Up until now we have been creating ad-hoc reports on a case by case basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have been looking to standardise how custom reports are created with BeaconRTLS\u2122 to reduce effort, time and cost and allow more customers to create reports for themselves. To enable this we have integrated BeaconRTLS\u2122 with <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/grafana.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Grafana<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grafana is a free, commonly used open source platform that allows you to show data in custom ways using dashboards and panels. We are creating example Grafana reports for use with BeaconRTLS\u2122 that our customers can use directly or modify for their own use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"815\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beaconzone.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/wherebeen-1024x815.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5807\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beaconzone.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/wherebeen-1024x815.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.beaconzone.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/wherebeen-300x239.png 300w, https:\/\/www.beaconzone.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/wherebeen-768x611.png 768w, https:\/\/www.beaconzone.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/wherebeen.png 1184w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption>Grafana reporting where a beacon has been<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/beaconzone.support\/index.php?a=add&amp;category=13\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Contact us<\/a> if you are interested in using BeaconRTLS\u2122 and would like to take part in the pilot of BeaconRTLS\u2122 with Grafana.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BeaconRTLS\u2122 has a myriad of uses across logistics, manufacturing, healthcare and facilities management.
