Tracking & Sensor system
The advantage and possibility with asset tracking is a key opener to make more effective decisions in production development. Also, the possibility to secure critical operations is possible with tracking in a production environment.
We have developed different tracking applications with different sort of tracking technology.
We have used:
Bluetooth technology
Ultra-Wide Band technology
Infrared technology
The Bluetooth tracking and Ultra-Wide tracking, we have been using it for both proximity tracking and position tracking.
Proximity tracking has a good potential in zone bases tracking - how should information be presented in different distances from the point of interest?
Position tracking of humans with Bluetooth technology is getting more accurate every year and now we see a possibility to start creating spaghetti diagrams from this technology. It is easy to set up and then start to collect data.
Position tracking of tools is also something that we have been developing with. In this case when high accuracy and robustness is needed, we have been using IR technology. With an IR camera and some IR beacons we have the potential to track tools and make sure that the tools have been on specific critical positions. For instance, if you have a screw joint and want to be sure that all screws have been entered, then this system can monitor that the correct amount and correct positions have been done.
