Abstract:
Methods, devices, and systems for production controls of process sequences in industrial processing of workpieces supported by indoor localization are provided. In one aspect, an indoor location system includes a plurality of mobile transceivers and an analyzer. At least one mobile transceiver is configured to determine a position of a selected mobile transceiver in a three-dimensional space. Each mobile transceiver is spatially assignable to a corresponding object from a group of objects within a framework of process sequences. Each object is movable in one or more dimensions in the three-dimensional space. The analyzer is configured to determine the position of the selected mobile transceiver based at least on run times of electromagnetic signals between the mobile transceivers in a position determination process and to perform tracking of a movement of a target object assigned to the selected mobile transceiver based on the position of the selected mobile transceiver.
