UWB based IPS
The BU01-based UWB (Ultra-Wideband) Indoor Positioning System (IPS) is a cutting-edge solution designed for precise, real-time tracking and navigation in indoor environments. Utilizing UWB technology, it offers centimeter-level accuracy for determining the location of objects or individuals within a designated area.
The system comprises UWB anchors and tags, where anchors are strategically placed throughout the environment, and tags are attached to objects or worn by personnel. The BU01 module processes the signals exchanged between the tags and anchors to calculate accurate positional data.
Designed to function in complex indoor environments, the BU01-based IPS is ideal for a variety of applications, including asset tracking, security, indoor navigation, and automation in industries such as healthcare, retail, logistics, and manufacturing. With its high update rate, low-latency communication, and robust performance, the BU01 IPS provides an efficient and reliable solution for real-time location tracking, even in challenging indoor spaces.
