RTLS for machinerys

Use Case Description

Real Time Location System (RTLS) or trajectory logging system for various usage such as real time remote monitoring, utilization analysis and optimization. Monitoring targets are various such as forklifts, picking carts, and even workers/staffs.

Overview

Visual/3D-Lidar based SLAM enables recording location/trajectory without limitation which existing technologies (e.g. beacon, marker, RFID) face:

No deployment in facility
Low maintenance cost when the layout changes
Seamless indoor-outdoor positioning
Work independently

Kudan’s unique map-handling features also help to reduce costs in deployment and operations of RTLS applications at broader scale, rather than the limited area for PoCs.

The benefits of Kudan software

More accurate and robust localization with Visual SLAM and/or 3D-Lidar SLAM against scenery changes and dynamic objects
Faster time-to-market compared to internal development or open-source based approach
Easy to expand solution area since deployment in facility is unnecessary
