Smart manufacturing starts with knowing where everything is.

About the project

Real-time insight into production and logistics flows is essential for efficient industrial processes. Yet the implementation of localisation technology often proves difficult. Companies struggle with:

  • Uncertainty about which localisation technology is suitable
  • High installation costs or complex infrastructure
  • Insufficient accuracy due to, for example, obstructions or metal structures
  • Lack of robustness in dynamic environments
  • Difficult integration with existing software
  • Unclear ROI and limited expertise

In this project, we help companies to compare, select and implement localisation technology.

Project Goals

At LOCATE, we are working on:

  • Practical insights & ROI: a clear case study
  • A selection tool for localisation technology
  • Improved, robust and flexible localisation systems
  • Accessible demonstrators
  • Extensive knowledge transfers

Target Audience

LOCATE is aimed at:

  • Manufacturing companies looking to optimise their production or logistics processes
  • System integrators implementing localisation solutions
  • Technology providers wishing to test, improve or demonstrate their solutions
