Asset Tracking in Non-Linear Manufacturing

Whether it’s building tractors, buses, or heavy equipment, manufacturing often involves a complex, non-linear flow of components and subassemblies. Work-in-progress (WIP) units are sent off the production floor to outdoor yards, supplier parts and tools are stored in staging areas. For production, operations, and inventory teams, this lack of visibility creates constant friction.

Without real-time asset visibility, manufacturers face:

Production delays: Misplaced items stall assembly and lead to missed delivery windows
Inefficient replenishment of parts: Inaccurate inventory counts lead to over-ordering, idle stock, or costly last-minute resupply
Lost or under-utilized assets: Tools and parts go missing or sit unused due to poor tracking
Quality risks and rework: Parts may degrade without condition monitoring or storage duration tracking
No trusted system of record: Without real-time updates, ERP or MES platforms lack reliable location data
Missed SLAs and lost customer trust: Delays erode trust and jeopardize repeat business

Get Real-Time Visibility

Use Case Spotlight: Tractor Assembly

A leading tractor OEM moves partially assembled products to indoor staging areas or an outdoor holding yards while awaiting components for final assembly. Without real-time visibility into where specific WIP units, tools, and parts are located, delays and disruptions are common. Partially built tractors tie up working capital, and staff waste time locating them, components, and tools, and supply teams often overstock parts “just in case,” only to misplace them or leave them unused until they’re obsolete.

Why Traditional Tracking Methods Fall Short

Manual scanning breaks down: With high volumes of moving parts and pressure on staff, scans can easily get skipped
RFID needs fixed infrastructure: Chokepoints for fixed readers aren’t always available in outdoor yards or dynamic production areas
GPS fails indoors: GPS fails indoors and around metal—making it unreliable on the production floor or in storage areas

Fix Your Visibility Gaps

The Luna Solution for Manufacturing Visibility

Luna is a Bluetooth-based tracking platform that brings real-time manufacturing visibility to non-linear manufacturing environments. It requires no chokepoints, no staff retraining, and no costly infrastructure. It runs on devices you already have—automatically capturing real-time location data across production floors and holding yards, both on and off-site.

Low-cost, high-impact

Bluetooth now rivals passive RFID in cost—without the need for fixed readers or complex setup

Uses what you already have

Existing tablets, scanners, and mobile devices become tracking gateways–no new hardware needed

Automated & real-time

Know where your inventory is with no manual scans, and minimal change to staff workflows

Luna alerts help you track down manufacturing assets quickly

Find parts fast

Radar views and proximity alerts guide teams to missing components quickly

Full traceability

Get a complete digital audit trail for every tagged part—supporting compliance, replenishment, and quality control

Luna Tracks location, temperature, and humidity

Condition-aware

Track temperature and humidity to protect sensitive components in storage, in transit, or off-site

Fast to Deploy, Easy to Scale

Lower operational expenses: Find assets quickly and easily
Choose the right tag for the job:
Compact and durable (7mm): Ideal for parts bins, carts, fixtures, and tools—lasts up to 5 years
GPS-enabled (palm-sized): For large WIP items like tractor chassis or sub-assemblies stored in outdoor locations
Zero-touch setup: Just attach tags—no manual pairing required
Anchor zones for precision: Use existing Wi-Fi or deploy additional Bluetooth anchors for more granular visibility indoors or at partner locations
Secure and reliable: Bi-directional, encrypted transmission
Built for complex networks: Works across large production areas, through metal racks and liquids, in outdoor storage yards, and off-site locations
API integration: Location and condition data (temperature, humidity) made available to your existing ERP, MES, or asset management system
