Five Benefits of Asset Tracking and Indoor Navigation System

An indoor navigation system helps in locating assets such as the object, areas of interest, and people inside a facility by tapping indoor frequencies from radio waves, acoustic signals, magnetic fields, and other sensory information which can be transferred and collected easily using a Smartphone.

Referred to as an ‘Indoor GPS’, an indoor navigation system is a positioning and navigation technology which aids in locating assets within a large facility. An indoor navigation app combines various benefits like wayfinding, workforce collaboration, and asset tracking rolled into one holistic application.

Features of Indoor Navigational Technology

Accuracy An indoor navigation system can offer the highest accuracy in locating assets while helping the navigation of users within the facility.

Versatility The system supports multiple users on the application and continues to work offline as well.

No extensive hardware Indoor navigation technology needs minimum additional hardware as it can adapt well to existing networks. Only beacons may be added depending on the number of assets to be located. Users will use the app on their Smartphone anyway.

Emergency Management Through the navigation, platform messages could be sent to users to alert them on safety tips and emergency regulations.

Blogpost Week 16 & 17

Two weeks ago we gave our presentation about our application idea for our Final Work. Since then we are both working for our internship company so the time we have left to work for our Final Work has to be productive. After we received some feedback from our promoter and jury, they agreed that the beacon technology in our room booking application was not really an added value. Therefor they suggested we would search another use for the beacons or look for a new application idea. After some discussion about the options we had, we both agreed to think of a new application idea where the beacon technology would be a real advantage.

So we started of with a new brainstorm session. We managed to think out some interesting new application idea’s which uses the beacon technology. We can proudly announce that our new application idea will be indoor localization inside an airport by the use of beacons. The general idea is that the user can use an application which corresponds with the beacons. Those beacons will guide the user to, for example, the gate where his plane will take off. We choose for this subject because signalisation in airports is not always obvious. Beside we can also make use of the beacons to guide the user to other places like shops or toilets and push notifications minutes before take-off.

The idea behind the indoor localization / guidance inside the building will not be by the use of a map of the building but by the use of mathematics. Creating a map would be lots of work and take lots of time, therefore our promoter suggested we should take a look at some mathematical algorithms. Those algorithms work in a specific way that they compute the time (or the distance) it would take to go from point A to F with several checkpoints in between.

Beside writing our new app idea, which was also accepted by the jury and our promoter, we also started sketching and first wireframing this week. It was important to do this so we can start developing as soon as possible.

For the upcoming week we plan to wireframe more in detail, create mock-ups en do some research to our algorithms we will need to use. All of this with considering to be able to start proper development by the end of next week. More information will follow next week.

See you next sunday!

Week 5

This week was an important one in terms of planning and decision making. We had an appointment scheduled with our promoter on monday. The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the current progress and planning for the upcoming weeks. He reviewed our sources used for our thesis and confirmed these were the right sources to consult. We created an overview of the technologies used for indoor localization. It helps ourselves in making the technology choice for the future prototype. It is urgent to bite the bullet and decide which technology we will focus on. The selection of the prototype to develop will be made next week. We already have several idea’s for the prototype but we need to put the pro’s and con’s in balance towards our desires. 

See you next sunday!
