Wi-POS Indoor Localization

Short name: Wi-POS

By IMEC

Purpose

This component locates items/humans/robots/AGVs on the SHOPfloor in realtime and exposes the location data (e.g. x/y coordinate in cm).

Data interfaces

Input and output data (but not user interfaces):

1. OUTPUT: Location of equipment/AGVs/robots
   • Format: REST interface, or data could be pushed to the FIWARE context broker.
   • Real-time constraints: will depend on the end application (e.g. if the AGV depends on the accurate location information, or if it is just used for monitoring purposes).
   • Expected data volume: estimated to be around 1 position update per item/human/AGV every second (or less)

No real input is needed, however some parameters could be made configurable (e.g. increase the number of position updates for AGV 1).

The output data will be pushed to the FIWARE context broker. or to system Y available at Pilot Z. (To be defined).
