FAQ
Detailed Overview
Mobile beacons are essential components of modern indoor positioning systems, providing precise location data for people, equipment, and autonomous systems. Marvelmind's beacon portfolio addresses diverse deployment scenarios with ±2cm accuracy that rivals traditional indoor GPS systems. The jacket beacon represents the flagship option for industrial applications, featuring four built-in microphones that dramatically improve tracking robustness and minimize non-line-of-sight (NLOS) errors caused by body obstruction. This makes it ideal for warehouse automation, forklift tracking, and autonomous indoor robot guidance where personnel move freely. The helmet beacon integrates positioning into wearable form factors, enabling hands-free tracking for smart industrial environments. Badge beacons serve office-based use cases where discretion and comfort matter. Watch beacons provide precision wrist-level tracking, particularly valuable for assembly line operations and detailed task tracking. Each beacon incorporates inertial measurement units (IMU) for enhanced navigation accuracy and geofencing capabilities for zone-based alerts and activity logging. This versatility makes mobile beacons critical infrastructure for RTLS (Real-Time Location Systems), indoor drone navigation, autonomous robot deployment, and comprehensive warehouse automation implementations.
