Real-time positioning is a technology that utilizes wireless positioning technology and geographic information system (GIS) technology to achieve positioning of the current location.
Real-time positioning technology is a wireless positioning technology, and some people also call it a trajectory tracking system, which refers to the real-time solution to the location of the receiver antenna according to the receiver observation data. The workflow of the real-time positioning system is based on the positioning base station in the plant area, and the interconnection of the IOT equipment and the base station in the plant area is realized through the wireless positioning technology and the GIS technology, so as to realize the implementation of the positioning display of the people and machines in the plant area.
It is realized on the principle of combining the base station of the wireless network and the cell phone to carry out real-time positioning on the basis of the wireless signal. Electromagnetic waves sent out by the cell phone will be received and forwarded by the base station, and after analyzing and processing, the function of positioning will be finally realized and the positioning results will be sent to the supervisors. The real-time positioning system will eventually be returned to the regulator through maps, tables and other forms to display and track the location, direction, speed and other information of the positioning object, including location information in visualized form.
The application areas of real-time positioning are listed below:
1. Healthcare
In hospitals, healthcare professionals spend a lot of time looking for medical equipment, which can add extra pressure to already strained medical resources. Therefore, a real-time location system can help healthcare professionals quickly locate beds and medical equipment.
2. Warehouse automation
Real-time location-based systems help automate warehousing by enabling intelligent inventory management, scheduling, and automated racking and loading of goods to make the warehousing system more efficient.
3, transportation and logistics
Real-time location services will help customers to comprehensive, real-time grasp of the company's supply and distribution process management issues, in addition to improving supply chain management, customers can also use the real-time location system to provide data to streamline the process of remote monitoring of the production of goods, which will improve the quality of the product and production efficiency.
