Indoor Tracking Systems
Modern day warehouses are like a complex living organisms with rapidly moving machinery, products, robots, and personnel. Real-time tracking of the locations of the moving pieces is necessary for efficient and effective functioning on a minute-by-minute basis.
Tauro Technologies also employed this technology to address emergency situations. They are often dynamic and in a frenzied state for police, fire fighters, and medical personnel. Fast, accurate decisions can save lives, keep the first-responders safe and are dependent on accurate real-time information to make mission critical split second decisions. In partnership with a client, Tauro Technologies developed the hardware and triangulation software system for indoor location tracking to meet these requirements.
Providing real-time location and bio-metric feedback allows the first-responders to rapidly make informed decisions based on the health and status of their teams as they respond to the dynamic evolution of the emergency event. The tracking system was designed with the following features:
- It supports various RF technologies including UWB radio (ultra-wideband), BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) and LoRa simultaneously operating on the same board. Utilizing LoRa technology enables long range reliable communication of several kilometers and enables remote management of the operations.
- The design is compact and is optimized for low-power operation in harsh environments and features long battery life. The batteries are recharged wirelessly reducing the need of cabling and increasing the flexibility of the system.
- Location detection is accomplished via multiple beacons dropped around the emergency site and personnel location is calculated on ToF (Time of Flight) from the individual RF tag to the beacon. In addition, the location and biometric data is uploaded to the base unit in real-time.
