The real-time localization system was specifically developed for the accurate close range localization of objects. By attaching small Bluetooth beacons, assets become intelligent, localizable objects, which can provide arbitrary information, such as temperature or fill level, and even react to events such as keystroke, brightness, shock or positional change. Apart from the spatial information, additional information about local process parameters is transferred in real time.
With ecom‘s Loc 01 and Loc-Ex® 01 we have a catalog with a sensible number of different beacons, which we can configure specifically for your demands – even in hazardous areas. The Bluetooth beacons can control devices through the built-in back channel or act as a signaling device, so the object you are looking for can be more easily identified when you are nearby.
Lufthansa Industry Solutions and ecom has combined expertise in the field of indoor and outdoor localization. Many of our solutions are currently in use within and outside of the Lufthansa Group.
STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGY
The Quuppa Intelligent Locating System™ uses the angle-of-arrival technology. The horizontal and vertical angles between the locators and the beacons are determined simultaneously. In a two-dimensional space, a localization with an accuracy within a few centimeters is possible with only one locator. At least two locators are required for a localization in 3D space. In addition, the insensitivity to signal strength fluctuations is a significant advantage over conventional Bluetooth-based localization technologies.
LONG RANGE
The costs for monitoring large areas can be kept low due to the long range of up to 300m, which opens up new possibilities for Bluetooth-based localization. Furthermore, the desired localization accuracy can be varied by the number of locators installed.
