Technology for real-time location tracking, people locating, and routing
Indoor navigation and indoor positioning help employees and visitors route themselves via mobile apps to indoor/outdoor locations. This aids in location tracking, increases efficiency for service call resolution, improves user experience, and enhances safety and security practices.
Indoor navigation puts a blue dot on an indoor map that identifies, via the user's mobile device, where they are located within a building. Indoor navigation is the identification of where a user is along a route within a facility to a specified destination such as a room, floor, or asset.
Know exactly where you are in any building, floor, or room within an entire site. Indoor positioning systems leverage beacons or Wi-Fi wireless access points to deliver accurate location within meters in real time to mobile apps to add value to indoor maps.
Accurate route navigation helps service workers, office employees, and visitors quickly find their destinations in any facility while enhancing safety and security for public safety responders to arrive at their destination quickly.
Know where your service and security personnel are in real time, at all times. Accurate location sharing allows for immediate resolution of service calls as well as increased safety and quicker security response, unified in a comprehensive, location-based tracking system.
Enable real-time location sharing from person to person via mobile apps to aid in locating individuals, with indoor maps to navigate to people in motion.
Indoor navigation leverages beacons or Wi-Fi wireless access points placed throughout a facility, along with indoor maps, to create a comprehensive indoor positioning system. On compatible mobile apps, users have within meters-accuracy of their location layered on top of the indoor maps and routing throughout the facility, with precise real-time guidance to a selected destination. Indoor navigation works with the building layout to incorporate features like stairs, floors, and rooms into the routing.
For efficient facilities management, service workers, security personnel, office workers, and visitors need to easily navigate to their destinations. On large sites, this can be daunting when the destinations are rooms, and nearly impossible when the destinations are assets like printers, water valves, or fire extinguishers. With employees cycling into work spaces they have never been to before, indoor navigation aids rapid location discovery.
Indoor positioning brings the benefit of location to the indoors world, to enhance efficiencies and provide real-time data when it is needed most.
The “blue dot” on maps which gives indoor position is powered by the combination of software – indoor GIS, and the hardware – beacons.
