Enhanced Indoor Positioning System Using Ultra-Wideband Technology and Machine Learning Algorithms for Energy-Efficient Warehouse Management

Abstract

The following article presents a proprietary real-time localization system using temporal analysis techniques and detection and localization algorithms supported by machine learning mechanisms. It covers both the technological aspects, such as proprietary electronics, and the overall architecture of the system for managing human and fixed assets. Its origins lie in the ever-increasing degree of automation in the management of company processes and the energy optimization associated with reducing the execution time of tasks in an intelligent building supported by in-building navigation. The positioning and tracking of objects in the presented system was realized using ultra-wideband radio tag technology. An exceptional focus has been placed on reducing the energy requirements of the components in order to maximize battery runtime, generate savings in terms of more efficient management of other energy consumers in the building and increase the equipment’s overall lifespan.
