Collection: indoor tracking
Indoor positioning systems, also known as Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) or Asset Tracking Systems, enable the tracking of devices and individuals equipped with location tags within a building using appropriate location sensors. These systems offer different levels of accuracy:
- Presence Detection: Focuses solely on the presence of an object within a defined area, such as a department.
- Room-Level Positioning: Determines the specific room in which the tag, and therefore the person or object, is located.
- Point-Level Positioning: By analyzing the angle of arrival of the signal, positioning accuracy can be refined to approximately 0.3 cm, enabling precise localization of objects even within a single room.
The value of these systems increases when combined with additional information linked to the tracked objects. For instance, hospital beds can be tagged with attributes like "cleaned" or "inspected" for better operational efficiency.
