The processing of personal data in the European Union is based on the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), in force since 2018, more specifically on Art. 6 of the GDPR. In general, however, it should be noted that – as long as none of the authorization standards of Art. 6 of the GD ..read more

BLE or UWB – which technology is better for indoor positioning? We try to clarify. Because when it comes to indoor positioning, there are various technologies and a number of combinations available. But especially in the context of Industry 4.0, the question often pops up as to which technology is better for asset tracking or localization in general – BLE or UWB. Bluetooth Low Energy and Ultra Wideband are both so-called short-range technologies that can be used to determine the positions of assets and people. So what are the differences?   How UWB works UWB is a low-power radio technolog ..read more

Whether in the construction industry, in furniture making, for machine tools or food packaging – steel or iron are indispensable in our everyday lives and demand is growing. And as things stand at present, fossil fuels are still required for their production. This is because coal is an essential material in the steel and iron production process. A special form of coal known as “coking coal” or “metallurgical coal” is used here. Coking coal is mainly found in Canada, Australia and the US, where it is mined in large pits. As demand for coal increases, so does the workload in mines. One way to in ..read more

Logistics is all about efficiency. Every day, a large number of pallets and packages arrive in warehouses and others have to leave at the same time. In between are the goods that are being stored, sometimes for a short time, sometimes for a long time. Keeping track of all this is not easy and costs time and money. A tracking system helps to know where a package or a pallet is at any time. What’s more, it even makes it possible to keep track of when the goods go in or out of the warehouse. Real-time asset tracking provides the perfect basis for analysis and numbers-driven process optimization ..read more

Asset Tracking and Indoor Navigation are the same thing? We didn’t say they were. But there is definitely a connection between the two services and the functionality itself is quite similar. What differentiates Asset Tracking and Indoor Navigation is the “location” where the position is calculated. In the case of the former, we talk about server-based positioning, which means that the position of the asset in question is determined on a server. Whereas in navigation, the position is calculated on the user’s device. This is called client-based positioning. Asset Tr ..read more
