P.E.A.R.L. (Project - Enterprise Asset Retrieval & Location)

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Large, heavy-industrial organisations (e.g., Military and Aerospace (Mil-Aero), Rail) operate large-footprint, complex, indoor/outdoor sites with many-thousands of mobile, high-value, high-integrity assets (people, tools, equipment, materials) that need to be managed and located over their lifetime to: maintain budgetary control, reduce theft/loss, remain safety-compliant, and increase operational efficiency. Automated asset location tracking is no longer a luxury, it is essential for successful business operations offering estimated savings of 30% asset-value/pa and driving an overall improvement in productivity.Entotem Ltd (T/A Convert Technologies) (Convert) are launching the 12-month P.E.A.R.L. project to address this need by expanding the capabilities of their Tracking and Communication Technology (TaCT) platform and adding Intelligent Tag (iTag) services. The platform provides location and data services via RF signalling at 2.4GHz. Enhancements in the ranging technology provide improved accuracy, at reduced cost compared to competitor technologies (e.g, BluetoothLE, WiFi, GNSS), and support accurate location in mixed indoor and outdoor environments.Expansion of the platform will support tracking of tens of thousands of tags across very large mixed sites (spanning tens of sq.km), also adding greater flexibility in location algorithms allowing effective trade-off against location accuracy, cost of installation and battery life. Novel iTag technology supports greater integration of business process and location services without overly compromising tag size or power, adding more value to location services, especially in compliance-heavy, safety-critical applications.Convert supply their technology under license via channel partners. Astute, Convert's white-label partner, will support growth of this technology under their Astute-SALUS brand, supplying Mil-Aero, and Rail markets. P.E.A.R.L. will consolidate Convert's first-mover advantage in this emerging location technology, establishing them as a World leading technology provider, driving significant growth for Convert and partners.
