TAGGABLE – LOCALIZATION LOC2xx | SICK 1
Intended use
SICK LOCU components constitute the UWB (ultra-wide band)
hardware part of SICK’
s localization system solution. The SICK
LOCU hardware is well suited for precise indoor tracking of
tagged objects of various kinds. LOCU hardware comprises
LOCU 1xx tags, which are mounted on the assets to be tracked
and infrastructure-mounted LOCU 2xx antennas, called
anchors. LOCU tags can be localized in all areas covered by a
set of LOCU anchors.
SICK LOCU hardware is a part of complete solution, SICK offers
a comprehensive portfolio of services for LOC systems, from
consulting to support. SICK RTLS (real time locating system)
solutions LOC facilitate full transparency of your supply chain
processes by creating a digital twin of your assets - in your
factory, warehouse and beyond. Key use cases include
automation and optimization of processes in logistics and
production, from manual to fully automated processes. With
LOC, SICK provides a system solution which integrates several
localization technologies and further sensors into a software
platform, called Asset Analytics, which acts as middleware.
