ATLAS: High Density, Enterprise-Wide Asset Tracking
Description
ATLAS (Accurate Tracking & Locating Asset Solution) software wirelessly and precisely locates and tracks tagged items in densely packed metallic environments in real time. Through a mobile or desktop app, users can easily log items to assets and track them throughout the entire facility and beyond.
Users can associate work-order or part numbers to tags instantly and track them throughout their entire manufacturing cycle on the floor. The search function snaps to the tag being searched across the entire mesh for easy retrieval or process step identification in real time. The solution provides continuous tracking, even through walls and obstacles with low power requirements and configurable battery life. The WISER Locator can also operate in concert with existing asset tracking systems like barcodes or RFID and can be scaled for nearly any number of tagged assets or size of setting.
The micro-location system uses ultra-wideband (UWB) technology to locate, identify, and track assets and works for Industry 4.0 priorities including smart manufacturing, operations improvement and efficiencies, warehouse and auto-inventory management, supply chain and logistics, occupancy and visitor tracking, and yard management, to name a few. The antenna nodes and tracker tags communicate with one another to establish a wireless mesh. The tracking software then calculates inch-level tag coordinates from these signals, overlaying live, real-time asset locations on a site map or floor plan, continuously and autonomously locating any in-mesh asset affixed with a WISER tag. Real-time data can also be integrated into software systems using WISER's API or into virtually any database using WISER's direct-to-database linkup feature.
