Pozyx New Planning Suite Adds ROI Value to RTLS Ideas

Quickly Calculate RTLS Deployments, Validate Project Plans and Save on Installation Budgets

‍

Ghent, Belgium - January 27, 2022 - Pozyx, a leading provider of RTLS (real-time location system) based on UWB (ultra-wideband) technology, announces the addition of its Pozyx RTLS Planning Suite for anchor planning and network planning. These tools guide users through the planning of infrastructure (network and coverage), verify deployment on the floorplan, optimize installation budgets and validate project feasibility.

‍

ABI Research expects UWB technology in RTLS applications to reach 500 million annual shipments in 2022, growing to 1.5 billion by 2026. The ABI 2022 Trend Report identifies that UWB will propel precise location technologies to the mainstream and expects RTLS to become key for UWB growth.

Pozyx confirms the quick adoption rates and introduces the new software tools to address the increasing need to quickly validate RTLS project ideas and optimize infrastructure investments.

Samuel Van de Velde, Founder & CEO of Pozyx, stated “The Pozyx RTLS solutions respond to the needs of critical industrial segments that require the accuracy and latency that UWB technology provides. We receive a high number of demands from the industry and a quick assessment of project feasibility and correct budget calculation is key to delivering high ROI after go-live. Our RTLS Planning Suite provides guidance and validation early in the process of creating a successful project.”

The Pozyx RTLS Planning Suite provides an intuitive exercise, in four modules, to generate a validated project infrastructure recommendation and installation proposal with accurate budget input.

• Floorplan setup
  Upload the floorplan, scale it accurately and measure to verify.
• Positioning zone creation
  Define positioning zones for high accuracy positioning zones and presence-only zones, use highly intuitive layout tools to define the zones on the floorplan.
• Anchor planning
  ‍Place anchors on the floorplan and use the placement tools to align, distribute and duplicate to populate the floor. The dynamic view reflects anchor distance and alerts on out-of-range situations. The accuracy coverage is represented in an HDOP map, in heatmap view. Obstructions can be added to simulate the effect of walls and static equipment.

• Network planning
  ‍Calculate the amount of cabling needed and add the gateway and switches to complete the setup. The alert feature will prompt on range issues.

The RTLS Planning Suite indicates the expected data accuracy in the pre-defined zones and allows further optimization of the installation. In combination with the Pozyx budget-friendly PoE (Power over Ethernet) daisy-chaining feature, which significantly decreases the overall infrastructure budget, the Planner Suite optimizes cable use, number of anchors and switches, and reduces installation costs.

The user interface is intuitive and invites exploratory use. The built-in tutorial and first-time user guidance guarantee a quick and accurate result. Its layered visibility supports export features of the different views and content.

After completing the last step, the infrastructure and network plan are used to generate an accurate deployment proposal and budget calculation as input for a feasibility study, ROI exercise, or installation project. The tools provide insights for both integration and installation partners as well as for end-users looking for pre-deployment project validation.
