Before the first tag goes on.
Indoor projects go well when four questions are answered at the start. None of them needs a specialist. They need someone who knows the building.
Four questions.
- Step 1
What is being followed?
List the kinds of thing and roughly how many of each. That is the number of tags.
- Step 2
Where?
Which buildings and which floors. A picture of each floor plan is enough to begin.
- Step 3
How fine an answer?
Knowing the zone is enough for most work. Say where it matters more, such as a cold room or a secure store.
- Step 4
Who should be told what?
The alerts worth sending, and the people who should receive them.
The hardware list.
A mesh site is built from Teltonika's Wirepas Mesh range.
| Item | How many | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| EYE Beacon Mesh | One for each thing tracked | The standard battery tag. |
| EYE Sensor Mesh | One for each thing that needs its temperature watched | A tag with temperature and humidity sensing. |
| Mesh Anchor | Worked out from the floor plans | Battery-powered, mounted on walls, columns or racking. |
| Mesh Gateway Wi-Fi | From one for a site | Needs power and the site's Wi-Fi. |
We work out the anchors with you from the plans when you enquire.
On the day.
The floors are drawn in the platform first: upload each plan and trace the walls over it. Anchors are mounted and marked on the plan where they hang. The gateway is connected, and tags are registered against what they are attached to.
Then the floors are surveyed with the Mesh Calibration app, zones are drawn, and the rules are written. From that point the site belongs to your client, in an account that carries your brand.
