Staff safety management on construction sites Simultaneously monitoring field staff and their deployment, provide second by second on site staff numbers and the cumulative number of attendees on a daily basis. When an unforeseen side event occurs, the site staff can notify the end user. He can swiftly locate and instruct the site supervisor. |
![]() |
Position monitoring and camera linked surveillance Track the staff’s movement and closely monitor staff’s activity, cameras capture on-the-spot photos; automatically monitor blind spots or remote locations. When emergency occurs, the system informs the end user regarding the location of the alarm and a supervisor can act immediately. |
Overview |
UWB precision indoor position system enables to locate workers, materials, cars, tags through base stations in a large-scale infrastructure. Information from variable tracked objects are received by background operators. It is easier for tracking workers, material query inventory, vehicle dispatch, mileage record and so on. Moreover, it has established on the basis of trajectory tracking, regional alarm, photographic device linkage. The UWB system is highly scalable with the ability to cover large area for simultaneously tracking hundreds of objects on the assembly line. Therefore, productivity and efficiency are greatly. |

FAQ |
► What is positioning theory?
High positioning tag transmits wireless frequency to individual base station. The precise distance is measured in order to find the accurate location information.
► How is the system established?
The base station is built indoors/outdoors. The tracked person/equipment carries a tag. The positioning data collected from base station is transmitted by RJ45/WiFi to servers. The precise locations of each tag is measured via servers.
► How is the barrier penetration?
The penetration through the wall is not recommended. The positioning distance after penetrating the wall is shortened and makes accuracy worsen.
► Anchor range?
Anchor is built every 30m. For example, 4 anchors are built by 30x30. 6 anchors are built by 30x60.

► Comparison of advantages and disadvantages about IPS
► Comparison of accuracy about IPS
RFID: Induction measurement. RFID reader has limit on the amount of TAG to be read at the same time.
BT / ZigBee: RSSI measurement (high tendency to be interfered by metal and environment), no limit on the number of TAGs connected to the node point.
UWB: TDOA/TOF algorithm (frequency band is 3.25G~6.75G, not easily influenced by the environment frequency band), no limit on the connected TAG to the base station
► Comparison of structure about IPS
System Model
Type-B(Advance):Precise indoor positioning for people and objects
Type-C(Advance):Precise indoor positioning for people and objects
Type-D(for projects): for robots, AGVs or other stand-alone devices that require position acquisition.
Type-E(for projects): Used for precise indoor positioning and collision avoidance between pedestrian and forklifts. In addition to precise positioning, the system also features collision avoidance for:
- Pedestrian vs Forklifts
- Forklifts vs Forklifts
※ The processor of the device needs to be able to calculate the positioning algorithm, because the tag device on
the target device will directly transmit the distance data to the target device.
Indoor positioning software support
Our indoor positioning system provides the following matching software, among which the positioning software of the standard version and the active version running on the Windows system are included in the kit as standard configuration.
