The Navigine RTLS Development Kit is designed in collaboration with MOKO SMART, a manufacturer of tracking hardware. Its primary goal is to showcase the capabilities of Navigine's positioning and tracking system across various industrial applications. This kit allows businesses to assess the platform's potential and test its indoor tracking solutions, measuring the impact on their operations during the Proof of Concept (PoC) stage.
The Navigine RTLS Development Kit is an excellent DIY solution for building a customized real-time tracking system. Essentially, it is a comprehensive toolset that enables the creation of a fully functional tracking system tailored to any enterprise. By utilizing this kit, you can experience the following advantages of real-time location solutions:
- Enhanced safety for people and assets on-site;
- Accurate object location detection;
- Timely data on emergencies;
- Efficient evacuation planning during emergencies;
- Improved workforce discipline;
- Better control over employees' working hours.
The platform operates using Bluetooth® Low Energy wireless technology specifically designed for short-range data transmission. BLE is the choice of indoor tracking solutions due to its efficiency within indoor environments. The system is energy-efficient and can pinpoint object locations with zone-level accuracy, reaching a precision of 5-7 meters.
Key Components of the Navigine RTLS Development Kit
The central element of the Navigine RTLS Development Kit is the Navigine Tracking software, which facilitates the tracking of assets, vehicles, and personnel in real time. The primary functions of the software within this kit include:
Simplified asset and equipment search. The system enables the precise identification of object locations within a building. You can view the movement routes of staff, vehicles, or equipment and chart the shortest path to the desired asset.
Zone monitoring (geofencing). When deploying the platform, the enterprise can be divided into various zones, allowing for controlled or restricted movement between them. Geofencing can also trigger events when an object crosses the boundary of a specific zone. For instance, the system can alert if equipment is being removed from a production area.
Heatmaps. The platform helps visualize the behavior of employees or visitors within a building. It's possible to identify bottlenecks and optimize movement flows by generating heat maps.
Advanced analytics reporting. Users gain detailed analytics based on location data. The system allows you to track the movement history of personnel or equipment, determine how long an object has stayed in a particular zone, and identify areas with the highest or lowest traffic levels.
Notification and alert distribution. The system features push notifications that can be sent to staff or visitors. These messages can contain various information, including emergency warnings or alerts about prolonged stays in hazardous zones.
Along with Navigine Tracking, users receive 10 MOKOSMART L02 tags, providing reliable real-time object tracking. These sensors use Bluetooth 5.0 technology to transmit signals up to 150 meters. Each tag is easy to install, has a high waterproof rating (IP67), and features a rotating case for easy battery replacement.
The kit includes 5 MOKOSMART MK107 Pro-20 B gateways for data transmission between the tags and the cloud server. These devices support EMQTT, Mosquito, and other MQTT servers and are compatible with AWS and Aliyun IoT platforms. Made from fire-resistant PC+ABS materials, the gateways are easy to install, scan in real time, and filter target data by beacon types, including iBeacon and Eddystone.
Use Cases for the Navigine RTLS Kit
This kit can be implemented and tested in companies during the PoC phase for the following scenarios:
- Asset tracking. The kit effectively tracks assets in warehouses, production facilities, hospitals, and other establishments. Managers and staff can pinpoint the current location of vehicles and equipment, quickly locate objects on the premises, track movement, and optimize routes.
- Staff tracking. The solution kit allows for the use of RTLS integration to monitor employee movement and ensure workplace safety. With the Navigine RTLS Development Kit, you can locate personnel on-site, control access to restricted areas, promptly alert them about emergencies, and, if necessary, provide information on the shortest evacuation routes.
If you want to test a real-time location solution for your business, consider the Navigine RTLS Development Kit. The ability to track assets with precision, combined with robust reporting and analytics tools, will help you optimize operations, improve productivity, and enhance personnel safety.
