It can be predicted that the development of smart power plants cannot be separated from indoor positioning to participate in location services with UWB technology.

First, why do power plant personnel choose indoor positioning? UWB technology?

In the field of indoor positioning, several positioning technologies are mature, such as WiFi, RFID, Bluetooth and UWB. In fact, these indoor positioning technologies have suitable applications in different scenarios. So, why do plant personnel choose indoor positioning? What about UWB technology?

As far as the power plant environment is concerned, although many equipment in the working environment of the power plant adopt high-tech configuration, there are also hidden dangers, and any negligence will cause serious consequences. Power plant complex building, personnel and equipment, complex internal structure, some work risk is high. In such a scenario, the safety control of personnel has become a problem that can not be ignored in the power plant, which reflects the space of indoor positioning technology UWB module personnel positioning technology.

Secondly, from the power plant indoor positioning technology. Wi-Fi positioning technology is mainly combined with the topology of wireless base stations to realize positioning function. However, due to its poor security and high power consumption, it is not conducive to long-term carrying of terminal devices and large-scale application in power plants. Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a technology that uses the principle of electromagnetic induction to realize information reading by wirelessly stimulating close range wireless tags. If the cost and effectiveness of building it in a power plant is not ideal, the main thing is to identify whether people are present in a certain area.

Indoor positioning technology UWB module is a stable and cutting-edge positioning technology in indoor positioning at present. Specifically, UWB technology has the characteristics of high transmission rate, low transmission power and strong traditional capability. In terms of positioning accuracy, real-time, stability and capacity, UWB indoor positioning technology perfectly meets the needs of industrial security positioning technology.
