资产追踪
概述
跟踪和追踪系统为集装箱、车辆或其他财产的当前和历史位置提供实时或定期更新。解决方案可以应用计算和报告存储关注的跟踪财产的车辆和容器的位置。例如,如果已知一千个对象存储在Container中,则跟踪Container比跟踪每个单独的对象更具成本效益。但是,也可以直接监控高价值的单个对象。无线标签可以附加到具有固定参考点的物体上,该参考点从标签接收无线信号以确定它们的位置,就像将托盘装载到卡车上一样。或者,GPS 或其他技术可以使用卫星或蜂窝网络跟踪对象。实时定位系统的示例包括通过装配线跟踪产品、在仓库中定位商品托盘以及在集装箱在仓库中移动时对其进行跟踪。物理层通常是某种形式的射频通信,但有些系统使用光学或声学技术。

Case Study
CAT M1 custom antenna for asset trackers
In the summer of 2018, Viatrax started a new LTE design project for their new GPS Tracker for LTE Cat 1M. Radientum was chosen to design the multiband antenna for the device. Despite the challenges, the product came out as a success.The GPS tracker itself was designed by an engineering company Device Solutions based in Morrisville, North Carolina. Device Solutions and Radientum worked closely in liaison to deliver Viatrax with the best possible result.When starting the project, Viatrax engineers were pondering whether they should locate the antenna on the circuit board itself or create a trace antenna. The latter was a better, but at the same time more difficult task.– Everyone agreed it was going to be a challenge. We discussed with the folks at Radientum and they said they guarantee it will work. If not, they wouldn’t have charged us for the work, Viatrax Automation CEO Mike Webster says.– Radientum went back and forth with our design people to make adjustments. It turned out they did a really good job and the trace antenna solution will end up saving us a lot of money and parts.
