UWB positioning system: an excellent solution for factory personnel positioning

2025-01-03/ By Admin

In today's factory production environment, an efficient personnel positioning system plays a crucial role in improving production efficiency, ensuring safety, and optimizing management. The UWB positioning system based on TDOA algorithm has emerged, providing accurate and reliable solutions for factory personnel positioning.

1、 Positioning Algorithm and Mode
The TDOA algorithm is a high-precision positioning algorithm that determines the target location by measuring the time difference between signals arriving at different base stations. In the factory personnel positioning system, UWB two-dimensional positioning and UWB three-dimensional positioning modes are used. For some narrow and elongated areas such as corridors, it is also compatible with UWB one-dimensional positioning based on TWR positioning algorithm. This flexible positioning mode can meet the positioning needs in different scenarios, whether it is in open workshops, complex warehouses, or narrow passages, accurate positioning can be achieved.
2、 Object positioning and accuracy
This positioning system is mainly suitable for indoor stationary or moving personnel positioning, and can also be used for object positioning and vehicle positioning. In unobstructed environments, the positioning accuracy can reach up to 10 centimeters, with an average positioning accuracy within the range of 10-30 centimeters. This means that whether in the production workshops of large factories or in warehouses, offices, and other places, the location of personnel and objects can be accurately determined.
3、 UWB positioning engine deployment
The UWB positioning engine can be deployed on users' local or cloud servers as needed. This flexible deployment method not only facilitates enterprises to customize according to their own needs, but also ensures the stability and reliability of the system. For some enterprises with high requirements for data security, location engines can be deployed on local servers to better control and manage data; For some enterprises seeking convenience and flexibility, they can choose to deploy the positioning engine on the cloud server to realize remote monitoring and management through the Internet.
4、 Application scenarios
Factory workshop: In the workshop, the UWB positioning system can monitor the position of employees in real time, and promptly detect whether employees have violated regulations or safety hazards. At the same time, it can also locate the equipment and items in the workshop to improve production efficiency.
Warehouse management: There are a large number of goods in the warehouse, and precise positioning of the goods can be achieved through UWB positioning system, which facilitates the storage and management of goods. At the same time, personnel inside the warehouse can also be located to ensure the safety of the warehouse.
Office area: Within the office area, UWB positioning system can be used to locate employees and improve office efficiency. At the same time, it can also locate office equipment and items for convenient management.
5、 Advantages
High precision positioning: The UWB positioning system adopts advanced positioning algorithms and technologies, which can achieve high-precision positioning and meet the needs of factories for personnel positioning.
Strong anti-interference ability: UWB signals have strong anti-interference ability and can work stably in complex environments.
Good real-time performance: The system can update positioning information in real time and respond to employee needs in a timely manner.
Scalability: The system can be expanded according to enterprise needs, increasing the number of positioning tags and base stations.
In summary, the UWB positioning system based on TDOA algorithm has significant advantages in locating factory personnel and can provide efficient, accurate, and reliable positioning services for factories. Whether in the production workshop, warehouse or office area, it can play an important role and provide strong support for the development and management of enterprises.
