Collaboration with Velavu & Wirepas: 2 Kits Revolutionizing Safety and Asset Tracking

A new wave of innovation is reshaping industrial IoT – and at the center of it is a powerful collaboration between Velavu, Wirepas, and MOKOSMART. By combining ultra-resilient mesh connectivity, industrial-grade hardware, and intelligent software, this partnership delivers a smarter, more scalable approach to real-world challenges like personnel safety and asset tracking. Built on Wirepas Mesh, the industry’s most reliable and infrastructure-free networking technology, these new solutions eliminate the constraints of traditional systems – enabling organizations to deploy at scale with minimal cost, maximum flexibility, and actionable data insights from day one.

How the System Works: Mesh, Hardware, and the Velavu Platform in Sync

This collaboration brings together three complementary pillars that make industrial IoT deployments scalable, reliable, and user-friendly:

  • Wirepas Mesh provides the network foundation. Unlike traditional BLE or Wi-Fi systems that rely on centralized infrastructure, Wirepas enables each device to act as a node in a self-building, self-healing mesh network. Messages are automatically routed and relayed across devices called anchors, creating a highly resilient system that scales to tens of thousands of battery powered devices. Once established, this network of mesh devices work together to locate asset or personnel tags within the tracking area.
  • MOKOSMART delivers the industrial-grade hardware. From wearable badges to asset tags and mesh anchors, MOKOSMART’s Wirepas-enabled devices are designed for durability, long battery life, and deployment flexibility. Each device is pre-loaded with Velavu firmware, allowing for plug-and-play compatibility with Velavu’s dashboard – no custom flashing or complex pairing processes required.
  • Velavu ties everything together with a robust, user-friendly IoT platform. As the interface layer for system users, Velavu enables organizations to quickly configure and launch their Wirepas Mesh networks with minimal technical effort. Devices arrive ready to connect, and the Velavu dashboard automatically detects and integrates them into an intuitive environment for location tracking, alerting, and asset monitoring. Velavu’s web and mobile apps make it simple for teams to scale from pilot to production without deep technical expertise.

Key Mesh Products:

L03 Navigation Anchor, a revolutionary Wirepas-compatible anchor, achieves longer battery life and broadcasting range. Its rugged design guarantees IP67 waterproof and makes it adaptive for outdoor use when necessary. Equipped with a soft button and annular RGB indicator, L03 extends the applications like the call for help in emergencies.

L04 Anchor, a cutting-edge device designed for reliable mesh connectivity across various environments. It offers two battery options for versatility and supports the expansion of temperature sensor for condition monitoring.

Personnel Monitoring: Improving Awareness Across Work Environments

The combined strengths of MOKO hardware, Wirepas Mesh, and Velavu software have enabled the creation of a highly adaptable personnel tracking system suitable for a range of industries. Whether used in hospitals, factories, warehouses, large campuses, or event venues, these systems deliver real-time insights on the location and status of individuals.

MOKOSMART offers a variety of personnel tracking devices, ranging from badge form-factors to wearables. As personnel move through a facility, each device relays its position via the mesh, ensuring uninterrupted data flow even in challenging radio environments.

The Velavu software platform enables live location tracking, presence detection, and emergency alerting. This has practical applications such as:

  • Monitoring staff movement and dwell times in hospitals
  • Managing worker check-ins across large construction sites
  • Providing emergency alerts and evacuation tracking during drills or incidents
  • Tracking on-site staff presence for compliance or time-logging purposes
  • Providing alerts if personnel enter unauthorized areas

Key Personnel Tracking Products:

B5 Rechargeable Badge is a portable Wirepas-compatible badge featuring an emergency button and magnetic charging capability. It allows users to send SOS alerts when facing emergencies. Equipped with RFID functionality, B5 is widely utilized in hotels, hospitals, and beyond.

H8R is a rechargeable Wirepas-compatible driver identification tag, designed to enhance driver identification and elevate safety measures. With user-friendly features, it offers an exceptional experience in fleet management and staff security.

Asset Tracking: Real-Time Visibility at Scale

Asset management becomes significantly more efficient with a Wirepas-powered tracking system. By attaching Wirepas-compatible tags to equipment, inventory, or tools, organizations gain continuous visibility into the real-time location and movement of physical assets.

Unlike conventional systems that require dense gateway placement, the Wirepas Mesh distributes connectivity across low-cost, battery-powered anchor devices, enabling scalable tracking even in sprawling facilities, supply chains, or construction zones. The Velavu software displays these assets in a dynamic interface with search, filtering, and history playback capabilities.

Key Asset Tracking Products:

The Wirepas-compatible M2 Asset Tag is an industrial designed tag for asset tracking in harsh environments. With the robust shell and 1000mAh battery capacity, it can withstand IP67 waterproof and reach a 5-year lifespan.

Equipped with a 5200mAh battery, M6 industrial tag boasts an exceptionally 10+ years lifespan. With its waterproof design, and unparalleled broadcasting range, M6 is one of the best choices for asset tracking in warehouse, constructions and logistics.

A Powerful Collaboration for Real-World IoT Applications

This partnership brings together:

Wirepas: A resilient, decentralized mesh network protocol purpose-built for scalable IoT

MOKOSMART: Industrial-grade, battery-efficient hardware across a wide range of use cases

Velavu: A software platform that translates raw data into real-time, actionable intelligence

Together, this ecosystem is capable of powering personnel safety, asset visibility, and other critical IoT use cases – without the cost and complexity of traditional infrastructure-heavy systems.
