Designing Power−Efficient Wireless Location Finding Systems
Learn more
Location Finding Systems (LFS) use wireless tags to track the location of equipment, materials, people, and products. There are many applications where access to location data can improve safety, productivity, and efficiency, including smart buildings, warehouses, retail, medical and more. These applications can assure a wide number of location−based capabilities for example, LFS can be used to identify where people are located in a restricted area of a factory or manufacturing cell factory, such as if they are in a restricted area or have entered a manufacturing cell where they can be in danger of injury from robotic systems.
