8/09/09 : LOST Technology Successfully demonstrated in an RTLS project at DP World (Antwerp)
|
Essensium and PHI DATA announnced today in a joint press release the successful deployment of a pilot test on the premises of DP World in the harbor of Antwerp. Essensium LOST technology was successfully used to track and locate in real time the movement of straddle carriers moving containers over an area of 400 meters a side. The test ran for one week and proved that not only is the LOST technology accurate within 50cm but it also maintains this accuracy in the harsh environment created by several cranes and carriers and the presence of a very extensive and heavy loaded WIFI network. The LOST technology was found to be the best in terms of range, accuracy and cost of ownership of the many RTL systems evaluated by PHI DATA over the last years.

17/07/09 : LOST Technology Demonstration Kit available now
|
The demo kit contains all hardware and software that is used in a typical set-up for the LOST Real-Time-Location-System. It allows interested customers to evaluate the performance of Essensium's LOST RTLS technology in applications such as indoor vehicle and people tracking. It consists of four Reference Nodes, two Mobile Nodes, two Light Mobile Nodes, all power cords, adapters and batteries. This material is suited to cover areas of 200m by 200m. The set-up is performed in less than one hour thanks to the LOST Graphical User Interface, once the floor plan is entered. This software together with all documentation comes on a USB stick and runs on a Windows platform. The network status and location of the Mobile Nodes are displayed on a screen and can also be accessed via a TCP/IP socket. The complete Demonstration kit comes in a sturdy transportation case. |
19/04/09 : Essensium receives 895.000€ funds from the Flemish Government to support the LOST SoC development.
|
The ALOHA project is now funded by the Flemish Government for 895.000€. The final objective of the ALOHA project is to create all IP needed for the development of a LOST SoC for use in the LOST RTLS system. With this SoC the size, the weight and the power consumption can be drastically reduced. The useful life time of the mobile nodes will be extended from a few hours to several years. The performance on accuracy will be further improved. This will allow Essensium to get into the market of asset tracking and people tracking with competitive products. The research program is conducted in cooperation with the ESAT-MICAS division of the KULeuven and the INTEC-IMEC division of Ghent University. It involves an investment of 18 person years of effort and has duration of 25 months. |
