The application is very simple: The location area will be equipped with satellites. These will be distributed spatially and create a radio sensor network. Within this area ZIGPOS badges and other compatible devices can be located. The position of the devices is determined every second in the Edge Gateway and made available via interfaces. After the browser connects to the Gateway, anything important can be identified, located and tracked. There is no program or app to install. Maps are loaded as background images and can be scaled. Satellites can be easily placed. ZIGPOS badges are assigned to real objects by name, order number, image or optical codes, for example. Whole fleets and huge inventories can be categorized and managed this way. By setting up geo-zones, events are generated upon entry/exit, which can be easily processed by standard logistics or management software.

ZIGPOS RTLS Overview

Server

The ZIGPOS RTLS Server coordinates the positioning of the registered devices and determines positions probalistically using Monte-Carlo Localization, Multidimensional Scaling or simple Triangulation, depending on the desired configuration.

Tools

ZIGPOS provides numerous tools for operation, maintenance and analysis of an RTLS installation.From Grafana monitoring to battery status monitoring to over-the-air firmware updates or even a management for updating the latest versions.

APIs

The ZIGPOS RTLS provides the 3D position, geofence events or object additional information via standardized interfaces via REST API, Websocket or MQTT in standardized formats, such as GeoJSON or EPCIS. This enables easy integration into existing IT infrastructure.

Planning

ZIGPOS helps you to plan your installation: from the definition of the Customer Success Story to the placement of the satellites and the integration possibilities into your existing IT infrastructure.

Setup

ZIGPOS provides a RTLS GUI for setting coordinates, managing devices and maps and setting up geozones. All setup steps can also be realized via API calls, so that operation in server clusters is possible.

Support

ZIGPOS provides support before launch and during operation of the real-time location system. From consulting to 24/7 support, all support levels for a smooth operation of our RTLS are possible.

The ZIGPOS-Badge

…is a universal communication and location device that turns everyday things into smart IoT objects. Like a smartphone for the Internet of Things, it is the “missing link” between the analog and digital worlds. As a mobile platform, it enables sensor data to be transmitted in both directions within the ZIGPOS wireless network. With its sensors and e-paper display, it is readable by machines as well as humans and can be written over the air.

The ZIGPOS-Satellite

…is a fixed point in the real world. It measures signal travel times to mobile devices such as the ZIGPOS Badge. The determined distances then become positions. ZIGPOS satellites can be powered by battery, PoE, µUSB or DC. The user himself can install the handy device in less than a minute. Neither calibration nor electricians or IT experts are required. Large-scale applications can be started immediately with it!

ZIGPOS RTLS GUI

The ZIGPOS RTLS GUI visualizes the RTLS installation, allows easy configuration and operation. The GUI can be accessed with any modern browser and allows, among other things, the setting and display of positions and geozones. It offers analysis possibilities as well as update of the e-paper displays of the ZIGPOS badges.

ZIGPOS Positions History Analysis

The ZIGPOS Positions History Analysis allows a visualization of the positions of all devices stored in the database. A heat map represents the most frequent locations of the devices.
