Austrian IoT specialists PDi Digital, alongside their technology partner – Finnish RTLS market leader Quuppa – have announced the launch of a new technology for sepioo® displays. With the capability to distribute accurate, location-based information – with ultra-efficient power consumption – the innovation is a first in Industrial IoT and a key differentiator for PDi Digital on the market.
The integration of real-time, location-based information into readable digital displays is a giant leap forward, one that brings sepioo® displays beyond the competition. With the Quuppa-PDi solution providing accurate indoor location (complementing existing outdoor GPS positioning and indoor “zoning” capability), the result is a powerful blend of position sensing technologies at an affordable price point.
The extension into real-time location tracking makes sepioo® the market’s first locatable display – one that opens the door to countless use cases in industry. Whereas regular locatable tags can track asset position, sepioo® displays can now do this while enabling customers to display information on the asset as well.
Meanwhile, the sepioo® SaaS platform collects data to provide a digital map of real-time location and display information. This can be used to trigger automated actions when objects travel a defined distance, or if they enter or leave geofenced areas. Implementation is simple. Vastly improved position accuracy can be activated for existing installations of sepioo® displays.
Moving forward, both PDi Digital and Quuppa predict a huge potential value for location-based services, especially in the context of Industry 4.0. The sepioo® IoT displays combine accurate, real-time tracking with reliable information distribution, packaged in a durable, battery-powered device that promises to revolutionize digitalization.
“The future of digitalization will rely on having the right information, in the right place, at the right moment. With our sepioo® SaaS platform, our customers can use the power of location-based information to gain transparency and optimize processes.”
Markus Rumpf, PDi Digital CTO
