Advanced Indoor Positioning Systems & Tracking Solutions

Using the indoor location/geolocation system at transport hubs improves the quality of passenger service. In order to work in full with IPS, users have to install the application on their mobile devices that help to:
• find points of interest (border crossings, restrooms or cafes);
• build the shortest route on interactive indoor maps to the required object;
• get useful information on the railway station or airport performance.
The management of the transport hub can control the flow of people to reduce load at selected zones and increase passengers’ satisfaction.

In retailing indoor positioning solutions are used for increasing customer loyalty and improving their experience of interacting with a point of sale. After installing the mobile application with the function of indoor localization, a customer can:
• quickly search the necessary goods;
• get information when he is approaching the wanted items;
• perform step-by-step navigation around the store or shopping center.
For the management the benefits of applying the system of indoor positioning are a possibility to optimize the store performance for improving the quality of customer service.

Shopping malls often look like small towns consisting of numerous floors, stores, and departments. In order not to be lost in this variety, customers can use the mobile app that will help them get to the wanted place. For business owners indoor location services means additional marketing channels that are used for delivering to customers push notifications on discounts, promotions, sales. Moreover, it helps to analyze traffic to understand visitors’ behavior and optimize the arrangement of objects inside the shopping center.

Indoor positioning systems at industrial enterprises allow for increasing labor safety, reducing costs, and saving time in executing production processes. Forklift tracking is a typical example of the technology application. Objects are equipped with special tags that make it possible to track their movement and define downtime. If necessary, one can create optimal routes for transport and adjust them in real time.

In healthcare the indoor positioning system app is useful for navigating people inside buildings. Large hospitals and medical centers have many buildings and large territories so patients can be easily lost while searching for the necessary room. Thanks to indoor tracking without GPS technology, people can quickly get to the necessary places and the staff can track medical assets without difficulties.

Indoor tracking and positioning inside warehouses helps to control assets and minimize non-effective logistics processes. It also helps monitoring warehouse workers to ensure their safety, adjust daily tasks in real time and timely react to emergency situations.

An indoor positioning system determines the tag or device position in indoor environments where satellite signals may be impaired. IPS monitors wireless signals (BLE RSSI, Wi-Fi RTT, and UWB time-of-flight) and merges these with environment-specific algorithms for multipath-rich environments.

y placing a precise “you are here” marker on a handset-friendly map, mobile IPS turns labyrinthine terminals and malls into manageable spaces. Users gain stepwise directions, accessibility routes, and dynamic rerouting when lifts or corridors become blocked.

Picture a device strolling past a grid of beacons: each signal arrives with its own strength, timing, or angle. By comparing those metrics against either a propagation model or a pre-recorded fingerprint database, the positioning engine calculates the device’s coordinates and transmits them to the dashboard in real time.

Digitize the floor plan, choose radios that fit accuracy and cost targets, install anchors at surveyed coordinates, and collect calibration fingerprints. Feed those fingerprints to a location engine that returns x-y-z points to client apps in under a second.

Select BLE, Wi-Fi, UWB, or a hybrid; mount anchors so that coverage overlaps; survey signal characteristics; validate accuracy in live trials; and finally expose a secure API that mobile or web clients can poll or subscribe to.

Indoor positioning analytics studies anonymized movement data—dwell time, heat maps, route popularity—to answer spatial questions. A logistics firm may streamline picker travel, while a cultural venue gauges exhibit engagement without intrusive surveys.

Start by identifying your goals, whether it's tracking equipment, guiding visitors, or analyzing movement patterns. Then, consider the required accuracy, site conditions (such as metal structures and signal interference), existing infrastructure, and budget.
For example:
● UWB is ideal for high-precision applications such as healthcare or manufacturing.
● BLE is a good balance of accuracy and cost for asset tracking.
● Wi-Fi RTT is suitable for environments with strong Wi-Fi networks.
