Wireless Tracking System

22-Dec-201609-Oct-2015

Wireless Tracking Technologies

A wireless tracking system can help to track the number of objects at the different zone. There are many tracking solutions on the market now that offers object tracking for indoor application. These are some of the tracking technologies available today.

iBeacon
BLE (Low Energy Bluetooth)
Active RFID Tags
UWB beacon (Ultra Wide Band Width)
Zigbee
Wifi

Tracking of objects or devices can help automate or improve the efficiency of a business process. The location information captured can also be analysed to provide with further insight to further grow and expand your business.

While there are many benefits to deploying a tracking system for your business operation, there are disadvantages in using these tracking technologies for tracking of a large number of tags.

Disadvantage of the Current Tracking Technologies

The listed tracking technologies are quite advanced in the implementation. They use protocol communication to uniquely identify tags or beacons. For an application that requires a larger quantity of tags (tracking carts or trolleys), these advanced tracking technologies will not be suitable.

Unable to Handle a Larger Quantity of Tags

Expensive Tags

Each tag has a receiver and transmission to communicate with each other. On board the circuit, a microcontroller or data logic is required to process the data from the communication. More components and IC chip is required in order to build a beacon tag.

These technologies might be useful or low quantity tracking of unique objects. For tracking of a large quantity of trolley or carts, these tags are perceived to be more expensive for the value they are adding to the application.

Higher Energy Consumption

More components used can mean a higher energy consumption. The complex communication protocol makes the tag work even more. Given the often limited size of the wireless tag, the tag’s battery would probably drain flat faster.

Slower Response Time

The complex protocol and a large number of tags competing for the communication air time are going to cause more data collision, re-transmission and hence slower response time.

Alternative Tracking Solution (Wireless RF Beacon)

A simple RF beacon is proposed to help track massive mobile objects can be design and implemented.

The beacon uses simple RF pulse to alert the base station. It is a low-cost solution for tracking of a larger quantity of mobile objects like trolleys and carts.

Advantages

Lower cost of tags.
Lower energy consumption of tags, longer operating time.
Handle a larger quantity of tags.
Provide an estimated quantity of tags within a zone.
Ability to deploy multiple base station to improve the resolution of the tag tracking.
Simple technologies, simple to maintain.

Disadvantages

Unable to uniquely identify the object (cart, trolley).
Unable to precisely count the number of objects.
The tags are unable to exchange data with the base station.

Simple Tracking Solution For Massive Mobile Objects

While there are many advanced technologies to perform object localisation, tracking and monitoring, it may not be the best solution for application that does not need the objects to be uniquely identified.

A cost effective wireless RF beacon is proposed to help cater the application of counting the number of objects within a given zone to enhance the productivity and business operation.

Are you looking for a freelance electronic engineer to help you with your electronic engineering project, design or electronic hardware product troubleshooting? You can check out the following resources for a freelance electronic engineer in Singapore, and overseas.

If you are ready to outsource your electronic project, consider engaging a specialised electronic engineering company to managed your electronic design project. For more information about our electronic engineering services, check out our website or contact us directly.

Freelance Electronic Engineer (Jobs in Singapore)

Singapore has one of the largest electronic engineer graduates from the South East Asia region. There is a large pool of engineers graduated from our local university, polytechnic and ITE each and every year. Electronic graduates represent about 20% of the total graduates in Singapore. There is no shortage of engineering professional in Singapore.

For a business operating in Singapore, it will be easier to engage with a local freelance electronic engineer. Engineering can be complex at times and communication is very important in getting across what you are looking for.

A local freelance engineer shares a common language and culture. It is easier to communicate and easier for them to understand the nature of your projects. There will be times where a meetup and discussion is necessary. A local freelance electronic engineer can provide much more flexibility and security.

The following are some of the links where you can engage electronic engineer freelancer in Singapore,

Typical hiring rate for electronic professional is about $500/day (year 2011) in Singapore. Compare to hiring permanent engineering staff, there is a much lesser the responsibility and burden for your business operating cost.

Freelance Electronic Engineer (Overseas)

Engaging an overseas freelancer engineer takes more effect. It is important to select one who is able to communicate very well with you. Very often you will want them to be responsive.

There is a lesser chance of meeting up face to face with your freelancer. It is always better to engage with an online platform to help you manage the project transaction like the deliveries and payment issue. An online platform also provides scoring and review system which can help you determine the service that you are getting from the freelancers base on their completed project in the past.

The following are some of the links where you can engage electronic engineer freelancer from overseas,

Hire your electronic engineer from

The risk is often higher engaging engineers from overseas unless the project is very simple. However, there is a greater potential to discover more good engineers from a wider pool of resources overseas.
