High Accuracy Indoor Positioning
For real-time location tracking
About
Nowadays, any connected object can be located and tracked — at scale and more cost effectively than ever before, opening many opportunities in the Industrial IoT. The use cases for high accuracy positioning extend virtually across all industries - think warehouses, factories, hospitals, offices, care homes, high-security facilities — all of which benefit from applications that can keep track of inventory, vehicles, and also in some cases people, to ensure their safety.
An easy way to optimize logistics
Nokia High Accuracy Indoor Positioning (HAIP) is an application designed to help you locate assets within minutes, improve the utilization rate of shared assets, enable automated real-time inventory and even location-based billing for shared assets. Location data is computed locally, which means that it stays securely within the premises.
Typical examples of tracked assets include wheelchairs, beds, medicine trolleys in hospitals, production equipment, testers, tool boxes in factories; and pallets, fork lifts and containers in warehouses. Vehicle tracking helps ensure efficient fleet management through usage recording, zone guards and alerts if a vehicle leaves a facility when it shouldn’t, for example. Likewise, people tracking options can be used to ensure that staff is accounted for during emergency evacuations, proper staffing levels are maintained across operational areas, restricted zones are better secured and in the case of hospitals, wandering patients are quickly locatable.

When you tailor the application framework with our High Accuracy Indoor Positioning solution, you can expect:
-
Easy provisioning
For simplified deployment, activation through Nokia Digital Automation Cloud dashboard -
High accuracy
For 2D and 3D sub-meter level accuracy (depending on the characteristics of the area to be covered) using the Angle of Arrival method -
Bluetooth low energy data transmission
Small and robust tags with programmable transmission frequency for long-lasting battery life -
Real time, low latency computing
For prompt actions like correcting Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) trajectory, geo fencing, etc. -
High security edge computing
The Nokia Digital Automation Cloud solution ensures that all data is kept local and secure -
On-site processing
Sensitive data never leaves customer premises -
Open API
For easy integration and use of location information in automated business workflows -
Visualization and Analytics
GUI for real-time location tracking and an evolving set of analytics based on post-processing of stored location history (i.e. heatmap, tag behavioral statistics)
How it works
The high precision indoor location tracking utilizes the angle of arrival (AoA) method and the 2.4 GHz ISM band. The solution enables 2D and 3D positioning with a sub-meter accuracy. Location data is processed through edge computing, ensuring that data remains securely in the facilities, making the solution compliant with local privacy regulations.
Nokia High Accuracy Indoor Positioning (HAIP) is a cost effective, energy efficient Bluetooth application that allows you to precisely locate assets (goods, vehicles, staff, etc.) in real-time.
