ZigBee tags for asset location in factory enterprises

zigbee technologycharacteristics

enoughIndoor positioning technologyAll can be done to manage assets, similar to the commonly usedRFID technologyhas been applied very widely; andWorld Power(used form a nominal expression)Zigbee positioning technologyCombining acoustic and optical tags will be more suitable for asset equipment localization, based on the following characteristics:

1. Low cost of networking, chip cost gradually reduced to less than $1, the whole module cost between 1.5-2.5; and ZIGBEE technology is patent-free, providing a good basis for more chips to join in the future!
2. Low power consumption, due to the short operating time, send and receive data with low power consumption and the use of sleep mode, so that the ZIGBEE products are very energy-saving, some of our tags can be used for more than 3 years without changing the battery.
3. Low rate, due to the industrial Internet of Things on the demand for data, ZIGBEE working communication rate of 250Kbps can fully meet the demand
4. Response speed, ZIGBEE products from sleep to work state only need 15ns, nodes into the network is also ms level; response speed is very fast, reduce power consumption
5. There are point-to-point, broadcast, and self-organized networking methods; different networking methods can be applied according to the usage scenarios.
6. High capacity, using self-organizing network, star and slice network structure, a master node can manage 254 sub-nodes, the master node and then through the management of the upper nodes, so it can be composed of 65,000 nodes 64516 nodes of the large network
7. Security, data transmission provides three levels of security settings (no security settings, use of access control lists, advanced AES128 encryption standard), where AES can be used to protect data and prevent attackers from impersonating legitimate devices
8. Short distance, transmission range 10-100 meters, increase RF power can be increased to more than 1 kilometer.

Applications

A domestic listed company adopts our products to manage the goods and equipments of the factory, and access its ERP system and carry out process transformation to realize the following functions:

1. Automatically locate the location of assets and find them in a timely manner with sound and light tags'
2. Asset tracking, the trajectory of an asset as it is being used, identifying the ins and outs of the asset
3. Fence alarms, assets leave the designated location, send alarm messages for managerial supervision
4. Tracking the timeframe of asset utilization
5. Temperature and vibration alarms for hazardous assets
6. Automatic tracking of production line material trays
