Universal Bluetooth Low Energy Angle of Arrival Locator for Asset Tracking

Overview

Description

Asset tracking is essential across various industries, including logistics, manufacturing, healthcare, and security. These sectors require real-time visibility to track asset movement or misplacement, enhance supply chain efficiency, and prevent theft.​

Renesas' Asset Tracking and Locationing at Scale (ATLAS) offers a best-in-class tracking system, capable of tracking 500+ tags/locator/second or thousands (1000s) of tags/locator with precision down to 10cm, even in challenging RF environments. Specific implementations, such as the Telemos Locator developed in partnership with IOSEA, combined with smart asset tracking labels and Bluetooth® Low Energy tags, allow for easy adaptation and fast time to market.

Track and locate tags or labels using the base locator system, or integrate vision capabilities with a camera for extended locationing applications, providing additional sensing information for back-end decision-making based on item status.

System Benefits:

  • Real-time location and high-capacity tag tracking (1000s of tags, down to 10cm accuracy)​.
  • Compatible with the customer's existing Real-Time Locating System (RTLS) backend or IOSEA's best-in-class RTLS backend/microservice for scalable, efficient, and accurate real-time location tracking​.
  • Simultaneously support for Angle of Arrival (AoA), Angle of Departure (AoD), ATLAS, ATLASlite, Eddystone™, and iBeacon™ tags.
  • Camera integration in the same field of view as the locator enables basic vision capabilities.
  • Vision platform based on a high-performance MCU allows both applications to run in parallel while keeping costs and complexity low.
