Indoor Positioning System Using Beacons

A Web Application that Retrieves Location Information from Beacons and Gateways and Displays Current and Historical Presence/Absence Data on a Map.
INDEX

Development Overview

We utilize beacons and dedicated receivers to manage location information indoors where GPS signals may not reach.
This is a web application that retrieves location information from beacons (transmitters) and gateways (receivers) and displays current and historical presence/absence information on a map.  It operates in an on-premises environment (without internet connectivity) and offers an API for integration with external applications.
 
  • It operates on-premises without internet connectivity.
    It stores data on-premises.
  • It provides an API for integration with external applications.
    You have the freedom to carry out system development using the API.
  1. The installed receiver captures the signals from the beacons.
  2. The receiver sends data to the server via a Wi-Fi access point.
  3. The server stores and analyzes the data.
  4. Using the stored and analyzed data, it's possible to monitor the movements of people and objects.
