Socionext asset management demo using ZETag IoT tags
Summary
The new demo, which follows a September 2022 demonstration of outdoor communications, advances ZETag adoption for a wide range of products in the IoT consumer and industrial markets. The latest demonstration experiment verified the performance in an asset management use case involving indoor operation, an environment where communication is more challenging than outdoors. Meanwhile, Techsor has developed a visualisation platform using Microsoft Power BI that provides details of asset inventory and temperature changes in indoor environments. The demonstration experiment confirmed that, by taking advantage of Advanced M-FSK modulation to improve sensitivity in indoor spaces where wireless communication can be difficult, it is possible to use a single access point installed at an appropriate location to automatically verify the presence of a large number of items spread across two floors, each with approximately 3,700m2 of floorspace. This demonstration experiment confirmed the suitability of ZETag for indoor asset management and for automating stocktaking, which was traditionally performed manually, with the addition of temperature, humidity, and other sensors for enabling environmental monitoring.
