How dSense works

dSense works on IoT-based Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology.

1. Employees in an organization will be given a Bluetooth smart ID card which continuously transmits Bluetooth signals.

2. Buildings will have smart sensors installed within the building premises. These sensors detect the smart ID cards nearby by means of which the location and movement paths of employees and functioning of equipment can be traced.

3. Management will get detailed reports on the real-time location and activities of employees and assets within the office premises. They will also receive instant notifications of any unusual activity by the employees.

Some real life scenarios of dSense

With smartphone
Beacons will be installed in the office and custom mobile app in employees’ smartphones detect their presence.
Without smartphone
Beacons will be worn by the employees and smart sensors installed in the office will detect them.
