1.3 Use Cases & Applications
The TREK1000 can be evaluated in 3 different use cases which are applicable to real-life
industrial and consumer applications.
1. Tracking Use Case: Determine location of the Tag relative to fixed Anchors.
Examples include asset-tracking (healthcare, farming, logistics), factory automation.
2. Geo-Fencing Use Case: Determine when Tags enter or leave a specific
perimeter/zone near an Anchor. Examples include location-based payments,
personal safety (forklifts, drilling machines), child-monitoring,
“secure-my-valuables”
and security bubble applications.
3. Navigation Use Case: Track the 2D or 3D location of the Tag relative to fixed
Anchors. Examples include robotics and human navigation.
