TZone - TZ-BC08
The TZone TZ-BC08 is a compact and lightweight tracker designed for reliable short range tracking and proximity detection. It combines a small form factor and low weight with a creamy white aesthetic, making it easy to place discreetly in personal items or attach to small assets. The device supports the iPhone iBeacon protocol over Bluetooth 4.0 and is described with a broadcasting interval range and adjustable transmit power suitable for a variety of proximity scenarios.
As a Plaspy compatible device, the TZ-BC08 can be used to add proximity and presence visibility to Plaspy workflows. When beacon signals from the TZ-BC08 are collected by supported receivers or integrations and forwarded into Plaspy, the device contributes to location context, asset visibility, and proximity triggered events that help teams monitor items and people in close range environments.
Key Highlights
- Very compact footprint at approximately 65 x 50 x 10 mm and light weight around 15 grams for discreet placement
- Implements the iPhone iBeacon protocol using Bluetooth 4.0 for broad compatibility with modern mobile platforms
- Compatible with iOS 7.0 and above and Android 4.3 and above for flexible integration with mobile devices
- Long nominal working time reported at about 1 to 1.5 years from the included CR 2450 3V battery
- Configurable broadcasting interval and transmitted power for balancing responsiveness and battery life
- Open field transmission distance in the order of 50 to 90 meters for line of sight proximity detection
- Password protected connections to help restrict access to pairing and configuration
How It Works with Plaspy
The TZ-BC08 adds short range proximity data into the Plaspy platform when its beacon transmissions are captured and delivered by compatible collection points or integrations. In Plaspy, this proximity data complements GPS based tracking by providing presence information and finer grained location context in indoor or short range scenarios.
- Presence and proximity monitoring for tagged items when a beacon is detected by an entry point or mobile collector
- Asset visibility on Plaspy dashboards showing last seen time and location context provided by the receiving device
- Proximity alerts and notifications when a tagged object enters or leaves a monitored area or is detected by specific receivers
- Reporting and historical records for audits and operational review based on beacon detection events
- Operational oversight for short range workflows such as check in check out and localized inventory scans
Typical Use Cases
- Tagging personal belongings and valuables to detect proximity and last seen information
- Short range asset tracking in warehouses, storerooms, and depots where beacons can indicate presence
- Inventory management and periodic sweeps using mobile devices or fixed collectors that forward beacon events to Plaspy
- Pet tagging or personal item tracking where discreet and lightweight hardware is required
- Localized vehicle or trailer accessory monitoring in controlled areas where short range detection is suitable
Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy
The TZ-BC08 is a practical choice when you need a small, easy to deploy beacon for proximity and presence detection rather than continuous GPS tracking. Its compact design and long battery life make it suitable for tagging a wide range of small assets or personal items, and its use of the iBeacon standard helps integration with existing mobile and receiver ecosystems that can forward events into Plaspy.
Because this device provides short range detection, organizations using Plaspy will typically combine TZ-BC08 beacons with appropriate collection points or mobile devices that can report detections into the platform. That combination enables event driven alerts, presence reporting, and improved asset visibility in indoor and near field scenarios without changing Plaspy core workflows.
