Improvement of Beacons in Real-time Location Systems

Momentaj Inc.是一家总部位于多伦多的IT公司，专门为新兴的物联网(IoT)市场提供基于云的数据分析服务。基于通信和数据驱动服务方面的专业知识，Momentaj正在努力为物联网应用的室内定位系统(IPS)和实时定位系统(RTLS)奠定基础。资产跟踪RTLS技术实现了对产品的实时工作流管理，使其能够毫不费力地定位子装配件和最终产品以满足客户订单。蓝牙智能系统减少了产品在装配线上到交付链上的停留时间，确保所有资产和产品都可见。它的工作原理是将蓝牙智能(BLE)标签贴在工人、资产、装配点和成品部件上，并使用配置为序列号的唯一通用标识符。在这个研究项目中，Momentaj将与瑞尔森大学合作建立一个可靠的基础数据传输系统，该系统可以扩展到包括集成智能建筑传感器来测量室内环境因素，如湿度和温度。在这个研究项目中，除了BLE传感器信标的开发外，还将对BLE系统进行测试和分析。这一研究项目的结果将对加拿大的制造业、仓储业、旅游业和医疗保健等行业产生好处。

Momentaj Inc. is a Toronto-based IT firm specializing in cloud-based and data analytic services for theemerging Internet of Things (IoT) market. Building on expertise in communications and data-driven services,Momentaj is working to lay the groundwork for an Indoor Positioning System (IPS) and Real-time LocationSystem (RTLS) for IoT applications. Asset Tracking RTLS technologies enable the real time workflowmanagement of products making it effortless to locate sub-assemblies and final products to fill client orders.Bluetooth Smart systems reduce the dwell time of a product on assembly lines to delivery chains ensuring thatall assets and products are visible. This works by affixing Bluetooth Smart (BLE) tags to workers, assets,assembly points, and finished components with the unique universal identifier configured to serial numbers.In this research project, Momentaj will collaborate with Ryerson University to establish a reliable base datatransmission system that can be expanded to include the integration of smart building sensors to measureindoor environmental factors such as humidity and temperature. In this research project, the BLE system willbe tested and analyzed, in addition to the development of the BLE sensor-enabled beacons. The results of thisresearch project will have benefits for Canadian industries such as Manufacturing, Warehousing, Travel, andHealthcare.
