From a technical point of view, the indoor geolocation solution is based on a mesh network of fixed(1) and mobile(2) becons. The former, also known as anchors, are installed at regular intervals in the logistics warehouse, while the latter are positioned directly on the pallets to be located. The mobile Blue PUCK ID+ Mesh transmits signals to the various anchors, which in turn pick up all dialogues and transmit the information to the gateway.
The data is then processed and analyzed by Orange IoT Smart Tracking platform. Operators will use smartphones positioned at the entrance to each aisle to geolocate the pallet they need to within a few meters. They will also be able to trigger the LED light of the beacon associated with the pallet to via the mobile application, enabling them to refine their search, particularly whennthe pallet is stored high up.
