Positioning Technologies

Choosing the right technology

Operational visibility begins with understanding where people, vehicles and assets are located. The challenge is that no single positioning technology is suitable for every environment.

Each presents different operational requirements. iottag combines multiple positioning technologies to deliver the visibility, accuracy and reliability required across complex operational environments.

Operational objectives

Hybrid Positioning Intelligence

Many operations require multiple positioning technologies working together,
to gain necessary accuracy and uninterrupted visibility for unparalleled safety and operational efficiency.
The platform is designed to support hybrid positioning environments where multiple technologies contribute to a shared operational understanding.

Accuracy Is Only Part Of The Requirement

Many positioning projects focus solely on accuracy.
Operational outcomes depend on far more. The right positioning technology balances all of these requirements.

Positioning Technologies As Part Of Operational Intelligence

Location information alone does not create value.
Value is created when location information is combined with:

Workforce gathered under lighting in an underground excavation

Workforce activity

Haul truck moving through a surface work area

Fleet movement

Workers surveying conditions across an open site

Environmental conditions

Operations team reviewing live site data on a control-room display

Operational events

Production equipment operating inside a tunnel

Production systems

Crew in high-visibility clothing walking through a tunnel

Safety controls

This creates the operational context required to support Operational Intelligence.
