Figure 13 - Example of application with Terabee Follow-Me
Please consider the following recommendations to achieve the best performance:
●
Mount beacons symmetrically on the mobile robot.
●
Mounting close to sources of heat or strong electromagnetic fields can decrease the
performance.
●
To ensure accurate auto calibration of span, the area between master and slave
beacons should be clear of obstacles.
●
For proper operation, there should be no obstacles in the line of sight between
the remote control and each of the beacons (e.g. beacons mounted internally in the
machine, parts of the machine occluding the line of sight or shelves, pallets,
big objects, human body, etc.).
●
Avoid having other sources of Ultra-Wide Band Channel 5 (6.49 GHz) radio
frequency within the same vicinity.
●
Due to interference, it is not currently possible to run multiple Follow-Me systems in
the same environment. (This will be remedied in a later release.)
●
It is not advised to put an additional cover on the beacons or remote control.
●
For best performance while operating the system, hold the remote control with its
longest side vertically oriented.
●
Be aware of the potential for decreased accuracy if the remote control and beacons
are not on the same horizontal plane.
●
Before integrating Follow-Me in your system, make sure that a suitable risk
assessment is carried out and that appropriate safety measures are implemented
(e.g. anti-collision system, personnel training, etc.).
