Never lose track of things
Worth €947, each kit allows designers to prove a concept within hours and have a prototype ready in days. Based on the two-way ranging scheme, the kit lets you test three different topologies:
Using 3 anchors and 1 tag, the tracking mode covers applications use cases around asset tracking, logistics and factory automation. The user collects the 2D/3D position of the tag relative to the anchor’s position.
Based on 1 anchor and up to 3 tags, the geo-fencing mode enables users to monitor if the tags are within certain pre-defined perimeters around the anchor. Use cases include collision avoidance, security perimeter around machinery, child monitoring or securing valuables.
The navigation mode also uses 3 anchors and 1 tag. Connected directly to the tag, the user is able to walk around and visualize its current position, allowing to test human and robotics navigation scenarios.
The DW1000 chip allows the location of objects to a precision of 10 cm and supports wireless communications at up to 6.8 Mb/s, with a range of up to 290m in line of sight (35m non-line-of-sight). The kit comes with four units, configurable as anchors or tags, as well as a PC application for the visualization and configuration.
