? FAQ

Q: What frequencies does the Marvelmind Badge use in this demo?
The demo uses dual-frequency beacons: 19kHz and 31kHz. The dual-frequency approach improves robustness and reduces interference in complex indoor environments while maintaining accurate positioning.
Q: Why are submaps and TDMA important for indoor positioning?
Submaps divide large areas into manageable zones, while TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) prevents beacon signal collisions. Mode 1 TDMA scheduling improves accuracy, reduces latency, and allows tracking of multiple assets simultaneously.
Q: How accurate is the Marvelmind Badge positioning system?
Marvelmind's ultrasonic indoor positioning system typically achieves centimeter-level accuracy, making it suitable for autonomous robots, forklift tracking, and warehouse automation where precise navigation is critical.
Q: What's the advantage of this system over UWB indoor positioning?
Marvelmind systems offer lower cost, easier installation in existing facilities, and proven performance in warehouse environments. The ultrasonic approach also provides excellent accuracy without the setup complexity of some UWB solutions.
Q: Can this system track multiple assets at once?
Yes. The dual-submap TDMA configuration supports simultaneous tracking of multiple badges and mobile assets, making it suitable for warehouse automation with multiple forklifts, robots, or drones operating concurrently.

ⓘ Wearable Indoor Positioning Technology

The Marvelmind Badge tracking demo presents a practical demonstration of high-accuracy indoor positioning using the company's ultrasonic RTLS technology. The setup employs four strategically placed beacons operating at dual frequencies (19kHz and 31kHz) with a dedicated modem, configured in a two-submap architecture with TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) enabled in Mode 1. This configuration optimizes coverage and reduces interference in complex indoor spaces. The Badge itself functions as a portable receiver, enabling real-time location tracking for autonomous robots, drones, forklifts, and other mobile assets. The dual-frequency approach provides robustness against environmental interference while maintaining centimeter-level positioning accuracy. TDMA Mode 1 prevents signal collisions and improves system scalability, making it ideal for multi-asset warehouse automation environments. This type of deployment demonstrates Marvelmind's capability to deliver reliable indoor navigation systems that compete with UWB-based alternatives while offering superior cost efficiency and easier installation in existing facilities.
