Ryken Outshines AirTags and Tiles for COAM Equipment Protection

“Consumer tracking devices like AirTags and Tiles are not designed for the rigorous demands of the gaming industry,” said David Villari, Vice President, Sales. “Protecting high-value, revenue-generating assets like Coin-Operated Amusement Equipment requires solutions built for precision, scalability, and compliance. That’s why Ryken Security stands apart—offering purpose-driven technology that meets the many challenges gaming operators face daily.”

AirTags and Tiles: Limited for COAM Needs
AirTags and Tiles are great and convenient for tracking everyday items like keys or wallets but fall short when it comes to securing high-value Coin Operated Amusement Machine (COAM) equipment. Their limited Bluetooth range (around 30 meters indoors) and lack of team-sharing features make them unsuitable for large venues or multi-location operations. Additionally, their “last known location” feature fails to provide the real-time updates critical to theft prevention and operational continuity in COAM environments.

Ryken Security: Built for COAM Operators
Ryken Security is purpose-built for the COAM industry, delivering advanced protection, regulatory compliance, and seamless collaboration to address challenges consumer-grade trackers cannot.

1. Nationwide Tracking
   Ryken utilizes advanced cellular technology to deliver real-time tracking across any location, far exceeding the Bluetooth range limitations of AirTags and Tiles.
2. Team Collaboration
   Unlike consumer trackers restricted to single users, Ryken enables managers, technicians, and security personnel to collaborate effortlessly through shared access.
3. COAM-Specific Insights

• Real-Time Location Monitoring: Always know the precise location of your equipment.
• Unauthorized Movement Alerts: Instantly detect and respond to unexpected movements.
• Geofencing: Automate alerts if equipment leaves designated areas.
• Condition Monitoring: Plan maintenance proactively to minimize downtime.

Why “Cheap” Trackers Aren’t Enough

1. Theft and Downtime Risks
   Bluetooth-only trackers lose effectiveness and functionality when out of range, leaving operators blind to stolen or misplaced equipment. Every moment of downtime means lost revenue and operational disruptions.
2. Missed Optimization Opportunities
   Consumer trackers fail to provide usage or condition insights, preventing operators from optimizing equipment performance and placement.
3. Customization and Integration

Ryken Security offers robust customization and integration capabilities, unlike the limited functionality of consumer-grade trackers.
