Nice thing. I like in the description how you use NFC just for association. But when will you add eink and other hardware options?

I use mostly similar hardware made in China. The real added value is eink, so the label is also readable by humans (text) and existing machines (QR). When you have eink prototypes, I may have clients for you.

Also, do you plan to have temperature sensors? It is an easy addition, and opens a large new market.

Another good thing to have can be 433/868/915 Mhz - some companies like to leverage their existing radio, but the protocols can be a pain to deal with.

Cool. Yeah, e-ink and other sensor hardware is something that we’ve been considering down the road. It could be added to our reel-to-reel process. But for the moment, we really want to stay focused and keep the hardware very low cost for asset tracking applications.

Agree, temperature is easy to add. We’re not quite setup for it at the moment, but considering it in the future for the right opportunity.

Funny you should mention 433/868/915 MHz. That’s my background in previous wireless sensor based technology companies. The barrier to entry problem we always ran into was having to install gateways. The approach with Got-it is to leverage the phones already in employees’ pockets, making it really easy to integrate at work.

Besides protocols, hardware for the gateways is another big problem. SDR offers you a few alternative options - especially if you are not scared by coding the whole thing yourself instead of using a stack.

Please announce you future hardware updates here! Temperature or eink (and especially both) would be very interesting to me.

We will. We will also be posting all launch announcements to twitter: @realGot_it
