The challenge

What operators are up against

Operators responsible for visitors, patients, students, passengers, shoppers, event attendees, smartphones, beacons, indoor maps and destinations cannot continuously inspect every operating condition or developing fault. Periodic checks leave gaps between readings, while isolated local indicators provide limited history and context. A late response can cause downtime, safety exposure, equipment damage, or incomplete compliance evidence. Teams need timely measurements, clear exceptions, and a defined operating response.

The solution

How Indoor Navigation and Digital Wayfinding addresses it

Indoor Navigation and Digital Wayfinding combines connected field data with application software. Smartphones combine nearby Bluetooth beacon signals with inertial sensor data to calculate indoor position across floors. The self-calibrating positioning engine places the user on an indoor map and recalculates turn-by-turn routes when needed. Users search for destinations, follow blue-dot directions and discover appointments, gates, rooms, products or exhibitors.

How it works

Teams configure the monitored assets, users, and operating rules. Smartphones combine nearby Bluetooth beacon signals with inertial sensor data to calculate indoor position across floors. Bluetooth Low Energy devices exchange location signals through the installed beacon or mesh layer; the site gateway uses an Ethernet connection. The self-calibrating positioning engine places the user on an indoor map and recalculates turn-by-turn routes when needed.
