Overhead System

Active positioning systems such as LoRa-Wan, Ultra-Wideband or Bluetooth Low Energy are used whenever either very high read distances (up to >1km) are required or when parts have to be located very precisely (the positioning accuracy of the systems is sometimes in the centimeter range).

Typical areas of application are:

• Container/RTI tracking
• Process monitoring
• Plant monitoring
• Vehicle locating

In combination with, for example, shock or temperature sensors, active transponders not only allow the parts to be located, but also allow the current status to be monitored (e.g. for preventive alarms if temperature rises to a critical level) and a conclusion to be drawn as to whether any damage is due to a handling error.

In combination with our superior IoT platform Araneo, an RFID overhead system is the RFID system with a maximum of functionalities, performance and capabilities:

• Process supervision within areas, not only at predefined control points incl. real time alerts, documentation and reports
• Big Data analyses as well as data mining
• Control of even complex business logics
• Customer Guidance
• Ask before failure
