How accurate is indoor positioning compared to GPS, and what technology does it use?

The Indoor Tracker uses a combination of WiFi triangulation, Bluetooth beacons, and LoRaWAN technology to achieve sub-meter accuracy within facilities. Unlike GPS, which struggles indoors, our system maintains reliable positioning even in dense warehouse environments with metal structures. Accuracy typically ranges from 30cm to 3m depending on beacon density and environment.

Can the Indoor Tracker work in facilities with poor WiFi coverage?

Absolutely! The hybrid connectivity automatically switches between WiFi, LoRaWAN, and Bluetooth based on signal strength. LoRaWAN is particularly effective in industrial environments, penetrating through walls and metal structures. This failover capability ensures continuous tracking even in WiFi dead zones or areas with electromagnetic interference.

How does geofencing work, and can we create custom zones for different workflows?

Geofencing allows you to define virtual boundaries anywhere in your facility. When tracked items enter, exit, or dwell in these zones, the system triggers customizable alerts or actions. You can create zones for receiving areas, storage locations, production cells, or restricted areas, each with specific rules for time limits or authorized access.

What's the battery life under typical use, and how are batteries replaced?

Battery life extends up to 5 years depending on tracking frequency and communication intervals. The tracker features easily replaceable batteries with real-time monitoring that alerts you well before replacement is needed. Most facilities find they can schedule routine maintenance during planned downtime without operational interruption.

How does the Indoor Tracker integrate with our existing warehouse management system?

Integration is straightforward through standard APIs and webhook capabilities. The tracker system can push real-time location data, geofence events, and status updates directly to your WMS, ERP, or other systems. This enables automated workflows like updating inventory locations, triggering replenishment, or optimizing pick routes based on actual asset positions.

How many trackers can the system support simultaneously?

The system scales from small deployments with dozens of trackers to enterprise implementations with thousands of devices. Performance depends on your infrastructure setup, but most customers successfully track 1,000+ assets simultaneously with update intervals of 30 seconds or less.

How resistant is the tracker to industrial environments like dust, moisture, or temperature extremes?

The tracker features industrial-grade construction with IP65 rating for dust and water resistance. It operates reliably in temperature ranges typical of most industrial facilities. Different housing options are available for specific environments like freezers, outdoor applications, or high-vibration equipment mounting.
