Where are your staff? What are they doing?

Minew Technologies today introduced the latest AoA location beacon, MLW01!

Based on the Minew AoA protocol and using AoA high-accuracy location services, Minew MWL01 is a wearable tag for sub-meter class high-precision tracking and management of personnel. The MWL01 equipped with a programmable button allows the “Safety Call” in an emergency after connecting to the Cloud. With a sensitive accelerometer sensor, MWL01 helps monitor the trajectory of personnel movement and other dynamic changes in real-time. The Wearable AoA tag is still an extremely reliable and basic Bluetooth transmitter for staff management.

The angle of Arrival – High-precision positioning with the AoA method

Compared with other positioning technologies, AoA positioning technology has the advantages of higher precision, larger coverage, better penetration, but lower costs in construction and maintenance. For the use cases that require extremely precise positioning, Minew recommends the AoA method for positioning. Angle of Arrival (AoA) positioning algorithm improves the accuracy of traditional low-precision Bluetooth by ten times, reaching 0.5-1 meter average accuracy. It is a typical ranging-based algorithm across some devices to sense the arrival direction of the transmitting node signal, calculate the relative position or angle between the unknown node and the anchor node, then use triangulation or other methods to calculate the location of the unknown node.

Pinpoint everyone at your venue to boost efficiency and ensure safety

As a wearable Bluetooth beacon, the MWL01 AoA Beacon is ideal for indoor personnel management. Administrators can access the location and movement of the wearer through the real-time signal emitted from the MWL01, tracking historical trajectories when needed. For the wearer, it is also a stylish gadget to call for help in an emergency. Just press the button on the device for timely rescue in case of danger or needing help. Through the sub-meter accuracy, administrators of different indoor venues can employ the MWL01 to optimize personnel management, space occupancy, work efficiency, and workflow. Benefit more at lower costs. It can be applied in different application scenarios such as an exhibition, factories, and smart healthcare.

What are the highlights of Minew MWL01?
