Link Labs AirFinder vs. Apple AirTag for Commercial Asset Management
Abstract:
In April, Apple launched its new location technology: AirTags. Since then, commercial industries in need of an asset management solution have been curious about its use within enterprises. It’s critical for businesses that operate within an indoor facility, or even ship goods or products to and from a facility, to have a comprehensive solution to locate and monitor business-critical assets. Although AirTags enable users to visualize an asset’s location, AirTag is far more suited for consumer use and has many limitations in enterprise use cases. Link Labs, however, has been pioneering commercial location technology for years. AirFinder, its patented IoT asset tracking platform, is a comprehensive asset management solution that empowers companies to have better management over their most critical assets. In light of Industry 4.0 using IoT to improve manufacturing, AirFinder will have an immense impact on this revolution – it can scale to meet a manufacturing company’s specific needs, from indoor to outdoor asset management.

He also has a unique POV on a wide range of emerging technologies and their market viability as co-founder and board director of Blu Venture Investors, a venture capital investment company that supports early-stage entrepreneurs in the mid-Atlantic region of the U.S.
