0:03 Hello, so what we do now: we are testing over there. Papa beacon is traced inside the van, so we have to station a stationary beacon, a mobile beacon over there, between two. The mobile is inside, so the mobile beacon is representing the cargo inside the van, and we are tracing that mobile beacon on our dashboard. So everything is in real-time. Natalia, please work this mobile beacon. Basically, yeah, like this. And this worksheet is done, yeah. Please continue. You see, the mobile is moving around, and we are tracing very precisely. So this is this demo. So it means that metal, small size, and everything doesn't disturb the system. It works pretty well. So this one's demo number one: tracing a mobile beacon inside the room.

Technical Background & System Details
This compelling product demonstration highlights Marvelmind's ultrasonic indoor positioning system achieving remarkable ±2cm precision while tracking a mobile beacon attached to cargo within a Mercedes Sprinter van's cargo area (approximately 3.2×1.7×1.9 meters). The demo addresses a critical challenge in warehouse automation and logistics: maintaining accurate location tracking in confined, metal-lined spaces where traditional GPS fails. By using our proprietary indoor GPS technology, the system delivers consistent, centimeter-level accuracy regardless of the challenging RF environment created by the van's metal structure. This real-world test case demonstrates the reliability of our indoor tracking system for fleet management, automated cargo handling, and autonomous material transport applications. The precision achieved in this confined vehicle space proves that Marvelmind's RTLS solution outperforms conventional warehouse automation positioning methods. Such accuracy enables businesses to implement advanced inventory management, optimize forklift operations, and develop autonomous indoor robot navigation systems that require centimeter-precision location data.
