Non-GPS positioning sensor network in social manufacturing

Abstract

The Global Positioning System (GPS) technology has been widely used in many applications. However, GPS operation is very limited indoors. While people are spending most of the time indoor. Different solutions are used in indoor positioning and location based service. Indoor positioning based systems are increasingly used in manufacturing. Four instance indoor positioning systems are used for the assets tracking and human trajectory. Tracking mass amount of people Will generate huge big data, manufacturing companies as well as individuals can take advantage of this traffic flow data to pursue environmental, economic and social sustainable manufacturing strategies. In this paper, we describe one method of tracking massive amount of people and provide them and visual tracking information by using one of the indoor positioning Technologies HAIP provided by Nokia. We present empirical results of experiments of using the HAIP system.
