L2 Training updated: Smooth Project Delivery at Your Fingertips

This module helps you get answers to the following questions:

• Do you realize that a wrong tag placement can cost you up to a day of time in the tuning phase?
• Do you know how long the battery lasts and how often it will be necessary to re-change it?
• Can you define the maximum number of tags within one localization cell?
• Do you know what tag type is the best for your use case?

UWB Tag Leonardo product line provides three types of tags: Asset, Personal, and Vehicle. Each tag type has its own specifics regarding deployment and configuration. The module “Tag Deployment Rules” helps you understand those.

RTLS System depends on synchronization more than you probably think. If the anchors are not correctly synchronized, no positions can be calculated. Therefore, correct deployment with a line of sight, together with the square geometry of the localization cell, is crucial.

Sewio delivers two types of anchors: Vista Omni and Vista DirectFive. Each anchor has a different antenna, and its radiation pattern requires a different approach to deployment and installation.

An overview of correct and incorrect anchor placements.

Unlike 2D location, 1D location relies only on two anchors. As you can imagine, the emphasis on rules needs to be even stronger in this case.

Did you know that 1D location is only possible with DirectFive UWB anchors? And do you know why? What are the possible use cases and what environments are not suitable for 1D location? Do you know what a Fresnel zone is? Do you know how to calculate the anchor’s vertical tilt?

You always need to think about the balance between keeping suitable synchronization and being able to receive all blinks.

Do you know that a site survey is the most important part of the project delivery phase?

The design of your project is based entirely on the details from the site survey. To make the right design and place anchors correctly, you need to know not only the environment but also how the processes in the area are set.

You need to keep in mind all the deployment rules related to anchors and tags. Because proper site surveys and related design save time and trouble during system commissioning. And most importantly, help you keep the costs down by preventing unplanned anchor deployment updates.

Site survey is the key to a successful project delivery phase.

Is the Sewio RTLS System new to you? Do not worry, the module “RTLS kit deployment” explains all the required steps to make your RTLS kit work in your office. You will be guided through anchor Omni deployment, AP router configuration, RTLS Studio installation, and initial steps in RTLS Manager and Sensmap.

Create the environment, add all obstacles, place anchors, and see what the coverage is.

RTLS Planner is a great tool and very useful in the project delivery phase. It saves time in communication with a customer during the pre-sale phase as well as with the installation company during the installation phase.

The module RTLS Planner explains how to use RTLS Planner and gives you guidelines on how to get Plan Approval.
