Recently, Beontag, one of the world's largest manufacturers of pressure-sensitive and smart labels (including RFID, NFC, and Bluetooth technologies), has launched the Viking Micro+, a next-generation mini Bluetooth tracker specifically developed to enhance efficiency and safety on heavy construction sites.
The Viking Micro+ is tailored for the demanding construction industry, offering a rugged, compact, and reliable real-time tool and equipment tracking solution. The tracker is engineered to tackle the extreme challenges of modern construction environments, maintaining reliable performance even under harsh conditions such as dust, moisture, impacts, and temperature fluctuations.
The Viking Micro+ is the latest outcome of the long-term collaboration between Beontag and OneStop Pro. OneStop Pro is an award-winning construction software platform focused on the digital management of machinery and assets. Since 2021, Beontag has provided the hardware, while OneStop Pro has offered software support and user experience enhancements. Together, they have developed a comprehensive digital solution for on-site managers and contractors, combining durable low-power Bluetooth (BLE) tags with an intuitive platform for managing construction resources.
What sets the Viking Micro+ apart is its ability to reliably track small handheld tools—a major challenge in the industry, as most BLE tags are either too bulky or too fragile. This new tracker is compact enough to be attached to small tools; rugged and durable to withstand high-intensity use; and highly efficient, requiring minimal setup to operate. Its built-in battery and simple installation method ensure quick and cost-effective deployment.
Cedric Le Labousse, General Manager of DTE for the EMEA region at Beontag, emphasized the importance of this new device. He stated that since 2021, Beontag's collaboration with OneStop Pro has always revolved around a shared goal: transforming the construction industry with innovative technology. The Viking Micro+ serves as a watershed moment in automated tracking of construction site equipment, demonstrating how digitalization can be achieved in concrete ways, enabling construction companies to work more efficiently and safely.
OneStop Pro CEO Dominik Märkl added that as the first supplier to offer such mini Bluetooth trackers in large quantities, they have gained valuable expertise through direct customer feedback. Small tools are often overlooked in tracking systems but are crucial resources. The Viking Micro+ is a direct response to this gap. By partnering with Beontag, they are committed to enabling high-precision tracking for all tools, ultimately achieving safer and more efficient construction operations worldwide.
With the Viking Micro+, Beontag and OneStop Pro are not just introducing a new tracker; they are driving digital transformation in the construction industry. Even under the most demanding conditions, this new solution ensures the traceability of all tools, supporting safer, leaner, and more transparent project execution across all construction phases.
