HID – Sense Industrial Bluetooth LE Beacons | Ultra-Rugged BLE Asset and Personnel Tracking for Harsh Environments
The HID Sense Industrial beacon family is a range of Bluetooth Low Energy 5.1 active tags designed for real-time location, asset tracking, personnel tracking, and yard management in harsh industrial environments including manufacturing facilities, warehouses, ports, construction sites, oil and gas operations, and hospitals. Available in four models — Sense Asset, Sense Badge Holder, Sense Lite V2, and Sense Asset+ — the family supports Eddystone, iBeacon, and Omni-ID BLE protocols, with the Sense Asset+ adding LoRaWAN 1.0.4, GNSS, and NFC for combined indoor/outdoor long-range tracking. Optional ATEX/IECEx certification is available across the range for use in potentially explosive environments.

Benefits
With IP68 waterproofing, IK11 impact ratings on the Sense Asset, MIL-STD 810H vibration and shock validation, and operating temperatures from -40°C to +60°C, the Sense Industrial family continues functioning in environments — ports, mines, chemical plants, and outdoor yards — that destroy standard BLE tags within weeks.
The Sense Asset+ combines Bluetooth LE for short-range indoor location with LoRaWAN and built-in GNSS for outdoor long-range tracking — all in a single device. Operations that move assets between indoor facilities and outdoor yards no longer need separate indoor and outdoor tag populations.
Optional Ex-certified versions of the Sense Asset, Sense Badge Holder, and Sense Lite V2 use anti-static black housings rated for use in potentially explosive environments, making the Sense Industrial family deployable in oil and gas facilities, chemical processing plants, and other Zone 2 hazardous locations where standard BLE beacons are prohibited.
