Abstract:
A position tracking system includes one or more beacons and one or more sensor pairs. Each of the one or more sensor pairs is configured to be disposed on equipment that moves within a facility. Each of the one or more sensor pairs includes a motion sensor and a beacon sensor configured to receive signals from the one or more beacons. The position tracking system also include a control system, which include a processor configured to receive a first signal collected by the motion sensor, receive a second signal collected by the beacon sensor, compute a first location and/or orientation based on the first signal, and determine a second location and/or orientation based on the second signal.
