Tips for selecting indoor positioning system
Release date:2021-01-20
The technologies and industries related to location services are gradually developing from outdoor positioning industry to indoor positioning industry, and provide a variety of location services based on indoor positioning. For example, as a supplement to the position information of outdoor positioning technology (such as track positioning after personnel enter the room), position tracking and guidance of positioning operators (even robots, unmanned guided vehicles, etc.), monitoring of fixed positions of indoor key items, navigation and positioning of rail trains, etc. It can be seen that location-based services have indeed brought us a lot of convenience. What elements should enterprises consider when choosing indoor positioning system?
Low delay
In the process of actual use, the amount of information collected by terminal equipment is huge. In the process of uploading and downloading data, if the delay is too high and the loading is too slow, the production and management efficiency will be seriously affected. For indoor positioning system, if the response time of a positioning node exceeds 3 seconds, it is bound to affect the work efficiency of managers, and the "real-time" nature of real-time positioning is not worthy of the name.
high-precision
For many enterprises, the distance between people, people and equipment, equipment and equipment may be tens of centimeters or even closer. Therefore, if the cost budget is sufficient, the higher the accuracy of indoor positioning, the better; If the budget is limited, the positioning accuracy will be required to be at a relatively high level.
low power consumption
There are many sensing devices in the indoor positioning system. If these terminal devices need personnel maintenance every three or five days, or need to be charged frequently, it will not only waste human resources, but also reduce the work efficiency of the enterprise. Therefore, reducing the power consumption of terminal equipment is an extremely important thing for positioning system.
high-capacity
Large enterprises have a large number of personnel and goods all year round, which leads to an equally amazing number of positioning labels. This requires that the capacity of the indoor positioning system is large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of positioning terminals, so as to realize the monitoring of all personnel and goods in the whole plant area at the same time.
Easy to operate
For system users, ease of operation is definitely one of the most important considerations. This requires that the management interface of the indoor positioning system must be humanized and the operation of terminal equipment must be very simplified. In this way, enterprises can spend less time and labor cost to learn to use the system.
Extensible
Positioning personnel and equipment is not only to ensure personnel safety, but also to realize enterprise intelligence, including production mode intelligence, management intelligence, service intelligence and other aspects. This requires that the indoor positioning system should not only be limited to the initial functions such as positioning and navigation, but also be able to connect with the original equipment, management system and production system of the enterprise, Expand functions to truly realize enterprise intelligence, such as video linkage, access control all-in-one card, etc.
