Indoor Asset Tracking and Workforce Management System Using Ultra-Wideband and Wireless Technologies

The client faces difficulties in accurately managing employee activities and tracking assets across expansive indoor environments. Existing systems lack precision, autonomous power, and reliable wireless communication, leading to inefficiencies in planning, monitoring, and decision-making processes, especially in areas like manufacturing floors and warehouses.

A large-scale manufacturing enterprise seeking real-time asset monitoring and employee task management within extensive indoor facilities.

• Implement an indoor positioning system to monitor employee locations and tasks with high precision (up to 5-10 cm accuracy).
• Enable real-time reporting and analysis of task completion times and operational efficiency.
• Facilitate area customization (e.g., different manufacturing zones or storage sections) for tailored reporting and alerts.
• Develop a system capable of autonomous operation with solar-powered devices and long-range wireless communication to minimize infrastructure costs.
• Support rapid detection and response to irregularities or process deviations through configurable alerts.

• User-defined area configuration for different sections within the facility.
• Real-time position tracking of employees and assets with high accuracy (up to 5-10 cm).
• Assignment and monitoring of tasks to employees with prioritization options.
• Long-range wireless communication supporting LoRaWAN and Bluetooth connectivity.
• Integration with sensors and modules (e.g., UWB, BLE) for precise location data.
• Autonomous solar-powered hardware with wireless data transmission capabilities.
• Reporting dashboards and analytics to evaluate efficiency and generate reports.
• Alert system for irregularities in operational processes such as cultivation, assembly, or storage.

• UWB hardware modules for accurate positioning
• BLE beacons or sensors for proximity detection
• Wireless communication modules supporting LoRaWAN and Bluetooth
• Reporting and analytics tools or dashboards

• System should support real-time data processing with minimal latency.
• Achieve location accuracy within 5-10 centimeters.
• Hardware devices should operate autonomously with solar power for extended periods.
• Wireless communication range should cover large indoor areas with reliable connectivity.
• System should be scalable to accommodate additional devices and areas.
• Data security and user access controls to ensure safety and privacy.

The implementation of this indoor asset and workforce management system is expected to significantly improve operational efficiency, enabling precise real-time tracking and task monitoring. Anticipated outcomes include enhanced workflow management, quicker response to irregularities, and comprehensive reporting capabilities. The system aims to reduce infrastructure costs through autonomous sensors and wireless connectivity, resulting in better resource utilization and productivity.
