Project Idea
Develop an IoT-based asset tracking system that provides real-time location monitoring of valuable assets using GPS and cloud connectivity. The system ensures asset security, improves logistics, and enables efficient inventory and fleet management with smartphone access to location data and movement history.
 
Project Description
The IoT-Based Asset Tracking System uses a GPS module (like NEO-6M) to acquire location data, which is processed by a NodeMCU ESP32/ESP8266 microcontroller. The location information is sent to a cloud platform (ThingSpeak, Firebase, or Blynk) via Wi-Fi, allowing users to track assets in real-time from a smartphone or PC dashboard. Alerts can be set for unauthorized movements or geofencing breaches. A rechargeable battery powers the system, making it portable and suitable for a variety of assets like vehicles, machinery, and shipments.
