Live ±2cm Tracking Demo: 100m Operational Range | Marvelmind
Real-Time Location Updates: Live Demo Coverage
This live demonstration showcases Marvelmind's ultrasonic indoor positioning system tracking two mobile beacons (helmet and jacket) on a single person across a ~100m operational area with ±2cm precision. Using six stationary Super-Beacons arranged in five connected submaps, the system delivers continuous, accurate indoor location tracking suitable for warehouse automation, safety applications, and personnel monitoring—proving that reliable indoor GPS-free positioning is achievable at enterprise scale.

0:00 Hello colleagues. Today we are showing tracking in large scale demo of Marvelmind jacket and Marvelmind helmet. So we have a submap, or let's say a map consisting of five submaps and five stationary beacons over about 100 meters. So now my colleague will be moving and I will be tracking in real time. So that's kind of halfway and another halfway, and this is live performance with the tracking. So the white is a helmet and orange is the jacket. As you can see, they are tracked exactly in the same spot because on this distance, the two centimeters difference is nearly indistinguishable. So this is live performance just to give
1:03 you an idea about the distances. So this is the distance to the person and one of the stationary beacons is here in the corner on the building. Another one is on another building, and then another building. So three beacons, but these are the distances. And this is the live performance. As you can see they match, and basically they're moving. So now my colleague is returning.
2:43 Today the system supports up to 250 beacons. So for example, you can place up to 100 stationary beacons and track at the same time 150 mobile beacons. So this is the final stage. As you see, it was returned exactly to the same spot. And you can use your Marvelmind helmet or my online jacket already today to track up to 250 mobile objects. Thank you very much.

FAQ
Real-Time Positioning & Tracking System
Marvelmind's live tracking demo reveals the real-world capabilities of ultrasonic indoor positioning for personnel and asset tracking in large industrial spaces. The system deploys six stationary Super-Beacons across five submaps (each covering up to 30m), creating a unified positioning network spanning approximately 100 meters with ±2cm accuracy in 2D (XY) space. Two mobile beacons mounted on a person's helmet and jacket simultaneously transmit location data through a Modem v5.1, enabling continuous dual-point tracking without GPS or wireless infrastructure dependency. This architecture demonstrates Marvelmind's scalability advantage over traditional RTLS solutions and validates the system's suitability for warehouse automation, forklift tracking, autonomous robot navigation, and safety-critical applications requiring sub-centimeter precision. The multi-submap approach shows how Marvelmind solves line-of-sight challenges in complex industrial layouts, enabling seamless positioning across multiple zones without performance degradation. Real-time tracking visualization confirms the system's responsiveness and reliability for dynamic operational environments.
