From the perspective of harmful and highly hidden diseases like heart ailments, health monitoring is a must to reduce health risks. Physiological  Monitoring Equipment has facilitated the health industry immensely by reducing the burden on existing medical systems. This is the reason why the Internet of Things has become an essential technology in the health sector. With technological advancements, the expense of health monitoring decreases, and more people are interested in purchasing wearable devices. Psychological monitoring systems rely on multiple sensors to collect bodily data and they have emerged as a reliable too...

Everyone knows how to use GPS (Global Positioning System) which determines the position of an object/ person with the help of satellite signals. But have you heard of Indoor Position Tracking System? Just like a GPS works in outdoor spaces, IPS helps locate objects and people indoors. IPS technologies offer a range of location-based tracking solutions such as wayfinding, RTLS (real-time location system), inventory management, etc.  Indoor Tracking Technology: Main Types Proximity-based Systems- These systems are capable of detecting the general location of an object or person at room level, but cannot pinpoint the precise location.  Ultra Wide-Band Systems- A cool technology, UWB is quite popular as signals are wide and offer reliable accuracy.  Wifi-based Systems- In WiFi-based systems, WiFi transmitters send signals to multiple access points which use algorithms for computing position and then sending it to the cloud.  Infrared Systems (IR)- Infrared-based localiz...

Introduction  The best way to describe indoor positioning systems (IPS) is as a GPS for indoor areas. Using cellphones, mobile devices, tracking tags, or other devices, an indoor positioning system enables users to precisely determine the location of people or objects inside a structure. How Does It Function? IPS technology detects and tracks information about a device's location using a range of sensors. This can be done either with radio frequency sensors installed throughout an indoor environment or with internal sensors and radio receivers in smartphones and other IoT wearable devices. The positioning system uses location information to produce precise coordinates that are shown on an indoor map.  Can a GPS Module Be Used Inside? GPS cannot be used indoors for two main reasons: poor signal quality and poor accuracy. The GPS signal is weak when it leaves the satellite and becomes significantly weaker when it travels a long way to reach the GPS receiver, barely strong enough...

Indoor Positioning System simply referred to as IPS is an advanced technology feature that allows you to track your goods or products inside your home or warehouse. Just like a Global Positioning System (GPS) , an Indoor Positioning system helps you keep track. The only difference is that a GPS doesn’t work indoors while Indoor Positioning System can keep a track of indoor goods as well. With advancements in technology, navigation has evolved to a whole new level. One can keep a track of goods and products using UWB Indoor Positioning System.  Types of Indoor Positioning Systems There are many types of Indoor Positioning Systems. Various methods use various technologies that help you track your goods. Some of the most famous and reliable systems include Wi-Fi Based Systems, Proximity Based Systems, Acoustic Systems, Infrared Systems, ULTRA Wide Band Systems, and many more. In this blog, we will dig into the features of an Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) Indoor Positioning System. UWB and its...

Using the GPS on your phone to pinpoint your precise location while moving around outside is simple. The GPS signals, however, are too faint to be useful indoors. Fortunately, the expert's creative physiological monitoring equipment monitoring can be solved in several different ways. Users can monitor their pulse, heart rate, breathing rate, perspiration rate, body temperature, core body temperature, and other vital signs using cutting-edge technology and medical-grade hardware. It creates a straightforward, user-friendly product by fusing the newest technology with a user-friendly design. The Benefits of Physiological Monitoring Equipment An app is used to connect the physiological monitoring equipment to a PC, tablet, or smartphone. The tools can be used for a range of life and health tracking applications. High Accuracy Customers looking for extremely precise, quick, and accurate positioning in an outdoor environment will find the ideal solution in the UWB Outdoor Positioning S...

In recent years, technology has advanced to the point where it is now commonly found in homes. Using traditional Wi-fi connections in a home’s basement, garage, or other indoor location has become inefficient and unreliable. By switching to a UWB indoor positioning system , users can connect anywhere in their homes using faster speeds and enhanced connectivity. In this system, the base station sends a signal in a straight line from the access point to the client. This limits the speed and range of a Wi- fi signal. On the other hand, UWB uses a 3D frequency BSS (Backward Sweep System) based on user location. The user’s device communicates with a base station using an omnidirectional antenna that sends signals in all directions simultaneously. The signals then converge at the base station, making it easier for devices to connect and establish a stable connection. This limits the number of indoor locations that can benefit from a UWB system but makes indoor connectivity much more reliable...

Indoor positioning systems are made up of a network of linked devices that work together to provide location tracking services for people and assets that cannot be tracked using traditional technologies like GPS or satellite. GPS and satellite systems for Indoor Navigation Positioning systems are constrained by a lack of precision and/or the capacity of their signals to reach their intended location. Businesses will turn to indoor positioning systems to acquire functional insights about the movement of people and equipment within the workplace when GPS and satellite positioning systems fail or do not give precise enough data. What Industries Can Benefit from Indoor Positioning Systems? Many sectors use indoor positioning systems to improve the efficiency of tracking assets, employees, forklifts, maintenance, processes, and yard management, while also enhancing safety related to lone workers, roll-call, pandemic workplace practices, and forklift operations. · Manufacturing Location tra...
