THE KINEXON SENSOR NETWORK

Published on : Tuesday 30-11--0001

Our KINEXON Sensor network offers highest location precision and scalability in the market:

It adds geospatial context through centimeter accurate localization and integrated data communication. It combines two capabilities as the sensors generate proprietary data and offer an integrated data communication. Proprietary data includes 3D-location (x,y,z), ID, status, acceleration, orientation, and pressure. Current localization technologies have many insufficiencies, which is why they are not suited for some of the promising applications in the industry. Existing technologies, such as GPS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are not able to achieve high accuracy up to several centimeters.

Our hardware architecture comprised of two main components, particularly the sensor attached to the object or human and the anchors serving as the reference points.

SYSTEM SETUP

QUICK & SIMPLE SETUP FOR MAXIMUM SCALABILITY.

Our simple and 100% wireless system shows excellent performance in challenging environments either indoor or outdoor. The battery powered anchors don’t depend on Ethernet cables and enable a mobile and flexible system use. The corresponding quick and easy setup process leads to low installation costs and short installation times. Generally, there are two possibilities concerning the setup of the KINEXON setup: wired or wireless.

OPTION A: WIRED SET UP

The wired set up is designed for fixed installations. Thereby the anchors will be usually mounted on walls or pillars. Despite a wired setup, the KINEXON solution is easy and fast to install in every environment – indoor and outdoor.

OPTION B: WIRELESS SET-UP

The mobile KINEXON solution offers a maximum degree of flexibility and simplicity. The anchors can be deployed wireless, as they are able to be battery-powered and do not require Ethernet wiring due to the fact the anchors communicate by radio with each. Thereby the mobile anchors can be mounted on tripods, poles, etc. The wireless setup is specially appropriate for mobile and outdoor applications.
