In a real-time location system (RTLS), anchors are electronic devices that detect UWB pulses emitted by UWB Tags and forward them to the location server for calculating tag positions. To cover the area with an indoor tracking system, a set of anchors needs to be installed above the area to create the location infrastructure.

Robust anchor synchronization resistant to the influence of the surrounding environment with zero warmup, allowing single location set-up in one day. Active PoE enables a continuous power integrity health-check. In case of an outage or system shutdown, it enables the performance of a power restart procedure remotely, which can be crucial since anchors are not usually easily reachable.

UWB Tags

In a real-time location system, (RTLS) tags are small electronic devices that are attached to objects that need to be tracked. The tags send out blinks that are received by anchors and forwarded to the location server for calculating the tags’ position. RTLS Tags are used for asset tracking, vehicle tracking, material flow analysis and employee location tracking for safety reasons.

UWB tags are packed with built-in sensors: accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, barometer, and thermometer. They can be recharged wirelessly. Firmware updates can be made by BLE and quick reconfiguration and commissioning via NFC brings productivity.
