Healthcare Asset Tracking with CMX

As a hospital nurse, I need to track important healthcare assets and equipment in a large, multi-floor
medical facility.

Cisco CMX Detect and Locate service allows you to view all Wi-Fi tags attached to tracked assets and equipment. CMX
notifications then provide movement and location-coordinate updates to 3rd-party applications supporting REST API calls.

Step 1

Step 2

Click Detect & Locate.

Step 3

From the

left pane of the Activity Map window,

select the desired building and floor.

The Activity Map window displays a list of icons to the right.

Step 4

Click the Tags icon to show or hide Wi-Fi tags.

Step 5

Set up CMX notifications to obtain movement and location updates for Wi-Fi tags through a REST API. For details,
see the “Creating a New Notification” section in the Cisco Connected Mobile Experiences Configuration Guide.

Tracking the Movement of Store Customers

As a store owner, I want to know the floors customers visit the most.

The CMX Client Playback feature enables you to locate and track the movement of customers in a site. You can track the activity
of one client at a time.

Step 1

Step 2

Click Detect & Locate.

Step 3

From the

left pane of the Activity Map window,

select the desired building and floor.

Step 4

Click the Client Movement History Playback icon.

Step 5

Enter the MAC address of the device in the Search field.

Step 6

Select the date for which you want to view client history.

The Activity Map plays back the client’s movement on the selected date.

Measuring the Location Accuracy of a Client

As an IT administrator managing a CMX deployment, I would use the Location Accuracy Test tool to
validate the placement and number of access points to ensure that my CMX deployment is producing
the best location accuracy experience.

Being confident about the location of a client can help you customize each client’s experience. You can use CMX to perform a
location accuracy test for a single device.

Step 1

Step 2

Click Detect & Locate.

Step 3

Perform the procedure described in the “Measuring Client Location Accuracy Using the Location Accuracy Test”
section in the Cisco Connected Mobile Experiences Configuration Guide.
