Precise and Scalable Real-Time Positioning Solution for Industrial Assets

[Cengiz Özemli]

The Coriva real-time positioning system combines industrial-grade ultra-wideband (UWB) technology with the omlox open positioning standard, enabling precise and scalable tracking of assets such as vehicles, goods, and materials. Critical questions like where a product goes after leaving the production line or how long a material is used can be easily answered with Coriva RTLS.

### Coriva RTLS Features

• Ultra-wideband (UWB)-based positioning platform providing real-time tracking of industrial assets (vehicles, tools, materials)
• Compatible with the omlox open positioning standard, ensuring cross-vendor compatibility and preventing technology lock-in
• High positioning accuracy and precision
• User-friendly setup offering automatic topology, accuracy analysis tools, monitoring, and firmware updates
• Easy integration with existing IT/IIoT infrastructures such as K8s/K3s, edge, Azure, AWS, and OpenShift

### System Components

• Mobile UWB tags (CorivaTag) attached to assets emit signals, enabling precise location calculation
• Fixed UWB receivers (CorivaSat) capture tag signals and transmit them to the CorivaEngine software
• CorivaEngine calculates the exact positions of assets using advanced algorithms (Monte Carlo, Kalman filter)
• Location data is transmitted to other applications via standard interfaces through omlox hubs

### UWB Technology
Ultra-wideband (UWB) radio technology provides short-range communication requiring high bandwidth over a wide frequency range using low energy. This technology is preferred for real-time positioning of industrial assets due to its resistance to interference and high precision.

### Full Transparency and Efficiency
In intralogistics, a "blind spot" often arises at the control level because the movement of mobile equipment and materials cannot be tracked. Coriva RTLS closes this gap with UWB-based real-time positioning, increasing operational transparency and reducing losses and the risk of errors.

### Complementary Technologies

• Barcode and RFID identification processes
• Trigger sensors for wireless vehicle connections
• IdentGate (barcode and RFID scanner) mountable on dock doors
• LiDAR technology
• GPS integration for outdoor tracking

### Coriva Hub
Provides middleware and user interface; offers visualization, georeferencing, geofencing, and integration with omlox-compatible applications.

### omlox Standard
Omlox is an open technology standard that enables positioning devices from different manufacturers to work together. It allows various positioning technologies in the industry to operate harmoniously on a single platform.

• Core zone: UWB-based core positioning area
• Complementary zone: Complementary positioning technologies such as Wi-Fi, BLE, RFID, 5G

### Coriva RTLS Use Cases

• AGV and forklift tracking
• In-plant vehicle management
• Material and warehouse management
• Production and transport planning

### Advantages

• Sub-meter positioning accuracy even in challenging production environments containing metal
• Monitoring of real-time movement and stop events with low latency
• Reduced search times, minimized losses and confusion
• Supports data-driven decision-making processes by integrating with MES, WMS, and ERP systems

Coriva RTLS increases operational efficiency by enabling real-time, precise, and scalable tracking of vehicles, tools, materials, and workpieces in industrial facilities, and guarantees compatibility with the open omlox standard, which prevents technology lock-in.
