sketch of materials which used in retail store

The Internet of Things is expected to take off globally in the year 2017. According to IDC, the digital signage usage itself will grow from $6 billion in 2013 to $27.5 billion in 2018, as retailers continue to digitize the consumer experience. In India too, there will be a number of retail companies who are expected to take the lead and deploy solutions on a pilot basis to determine the effectiveness and ROI of IoT in their retail business.

Indian brands and retailers that want to take advantage of the Internet of Things will innovate in these areas:

1. Enhanced product visibility coupled with consumer experience1.

With more and more product launches and limited shelf space availability, it has become a challenge for brands to get customer eyeballs at the point of sales. As a result, brands and retailers will use IoT solutions like digital signage, heat maps to determine where exactly should their promotion material be placed and for how long. Proximity sensors coupled with camera data will determine the nature of engagement with the customer and will be used to redefine strategies.

2. Optimize store operations

Traditionally, the Indian retail industry has used low-cost labor to deliver operations. However, with the costs going up, retailers feel the need to optimize the operations cost and streamline efficiency.

For example, RFID technology and other sensors can provide the central with real-time data about the inventory in the store, the shopper behavior etc. will allow retailers to better manage store assets and employees. Lighting, refrigerators, and other store assets will be controlled centrally based on the data provided by these sensors. This will not only reduce the costs but also provide a holistic view of the areas that need to be further optimized.

3. Improved supply chain management

With the vast geography of the Indian market, supply chain management has always been a problem. Retailers would like to not only avoid stocking low selling products but also want real-time data of what products are selling and the dynamics behind these sales. This will help them proactively solve the stocking issue and lead to an increase in sales.

IoT-enabled systems such as weight sensors can trigger real-time inventory actions. It will also help provide data for analysis to understand stocking and the impact of time of day, weather and other environmental conditions on product sales.
Fleet management software will help ensure that the products are dispatched on time and do not remain in the warehouse and are stocked as quickly as possible.

BLE Location Sensor Improves Asset Visibility Across Multiple Sites

Imagine running operations across factories and warehouses, only to discover that critical tools worth lakhs have been sitting unused for weeks—or worse, gone missing. For many facility managers in India, this isn’t just a bad day; it’s a weekly headache. BLE location sensor is changing that reality by bringing affordable, precise tracking to complex, multi-location environments. If you’re tired of blind spots in your asset management, here’s how Bluetooth Low Energy technology is delivering clear, actionable visibility like never before. The Growing Challenge of Multi-Site Asset Management Businesses today operate across scattered locations—plants in different industrial zones, storage yards miles apart, or project sites that keep shifting. Traditional tracking methods fall short: GPS drains batteries and fails indoors, while manual logs are error-prone and outdated the moment they’re written. This leads to wasted hours searching, surprise stockouts, higher insurance costs, and reduced operational agility. BLE location sensor solves these exact pain points with smart, low-cost innovation tailored for Indian industrial needs. Understanding BLE Location Sensors in Simple Terms Think of BLE locators as small, intelligent “beacons” that quietly talk to your network. These tiny devices attach to anything—from heavy cranes, forklifts and inventory pallets to specialized machinery. And it continuously share their location without eating up much power. Paired with the EasyReach gateway, they create an invisible web of coverage. The best part? Installation is quick, doesn’t require heavy cabling, and improves easily as your business grows. A Day in the Life with BLE Asset Tracker Imagine starting your morning with a single dashboard that shows:* Which forklift is currently at Site B* Where all high-value molds are located across three plants* Whether a shipment of raw materials has reached the loading dock yet No phone calls between supervisors. No frantic searches. Just clear, instant answers. The system works silently in the background: BLE beacons send signals, gateways pick them up, and your cloud platform turns that data into actionable insights. You can set custom alerts for unauthorized movement, low utilization, or maintenance reminders. Fresh Ways BLE Sensors Deliver Superior Visibility Where BLE Location Sensors Are Most Commonly Used * Manufacturing Plants and Factories* Warehouses & Distribution Centers* Construction Project Sites* Healthcare Facilities* Automotive and Vehicle Yards* Cold Chain & Supply Chain Real Impact: Stories from the Field A manufacturing client in Pune cut equipment search time by over 60% after deploying BLE tags across two plants. Another logistics company in Chennai reduced lost pallets dramatically by tracking them between their main hub and satellite yards. These aren’t isolated wins—businesses using BLE asset tracking consistently report faster turnaround, lower replacement costs, and happier teams. BLE vs Other Tracking Technologies Wi-Fi tracking can be power-hungry and complex to maintain. Full GPS systems get expensive at scale and offer poor indoor accuracy. RFID often requires close-range readers. BLE location sensors strike the perfect balance: reliable range, years-long battery life, and budget-friendly deployment that fits most mid-to-large operations in India.
