Hardware Integrations

Connect devices to your systems with robust, secure integrations. We specialise in RFID and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) — powering real‑time tracking, access, auditability and operational visibility.

RFID and Bluetooth Low Energy Integration

We integrate readers, sensors, radios and mobile devices with cloud and on‑prem systems so the right events become data—and that data becomes action. From BLE beacons and peripherals to RFID portals and handhelds, we deliver reliable, secure and maintainable solutions.

Our Onsight platform enables robust Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) integrations in the field, while Ledger streamlines RFID asset, access and audit workflows. Together, they cover the spectrum from live operations to compliance.

Onsight: Reliable BLE Integrations

Capture proximity events, device telemetry and interactions from BLE beacons and peripherals—then route them to the systems that matter. Onsight provides connection management, retry logic, offline buffering and secure sync.

  • Beacon scanning, presence and zone awareness
  • Peripheral control and data collection over BLE
  • Offline-first operation with background sync
  • Role-based access control and audit trails

RFID vs Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)

When to use RFID

  • Chokepoint reads at gates, portals and loading bays
  • Bulk inventory counts and asset audits (passive tags, no batteries)
  • Movement and compliance records tied to fixed read zones
  • Harsh environments where rugged tags and controlled read ranges matter

When to use BLE

  • Live presence, proximity and zone awareness for people/equipment
  • Telemetry from low‑power sensors and peripherals
  • Mobile‑first experiences (phones, tablets) with background sync
  • Operational resilience with retry logic and offline buffering (via Onsight)

In heavy industrial environments (e.g., steel manufacturing), we commonly pair BLE presence/zone awareness via Onsight with RFID for gated workflows and audits (see NZ Steel case study).

Keeping Auckland International Airport running smoothly

Radio devices provide mission-critical support to operations at Auckland International Airport (AIAL). Knowing where radios are being used, and by who, is key to keeping business moving behind the scenes. Calo developed NETiD, a bespoke asset management tool, to keep track of this asset, streamlining daily operations and stocktake.

Frequently Asked Questions

BLE vs classic Bluetooth—what’s the difference?

BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) is designed for low‑power, intermittent data transfer—perfect for presence, telemetry and simple peripherals. Classic Bluetooth targets higher throughput scenarios like audio. Most operational integrations use BLE.

How do I choose RFID tags and readers?

It depends on range, environment, durability and form factor. We help you select the right tag class and reader setup, and model performance in your environment before rollout.

Do solutions work offline?

Yes. We design for intermittent connectivity with local buffering, conflict resolution and background sync so operations continue uninterrupted.

How do you handle security and privacy?

We use encrypted transport, signed events, least‑privilege access and clear audit trails. We also implement data minimisation and configurable retention for compliance.
