TMCNet: Symeo GmbH: Symeo at TOC Europe 2008: Robust, high-precision positioning solutions for internal logistics; Complete position tracking in the entire terminal area

Symeo GmbH: Symeo at TOC Europe 2008: Robust, high-precision positioning solutions for internal logistics; Complete position tracking in the entire terminal area

(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
RDATE:26052008

Neubiberg (Germany) -- Symeo GmbH will be presenting components and
system solutions for continuous vehicle positioning and container
tracking at TOC (Terminal Operations Conference and Exhibition) in
Amsterdam between 17 and 19 June 2008. The radio-based Symeo technology
is specially designed for use in harsh terminal environments and large
open-air sites. It operates reliably and maintenance-free even under
adverse environmental conditions, such as rain, salt water, fog or snow.

At Stand H14 of TOC Europe 2008, Symeo will be showcasing efficient and
reliable internal logistics solutions for the terminal environment.
Symeo's industry-proven positioning systems feature precise data
collection in all ambient conditions. No matter what the application -
whether to assist drivers in optimising the loading and unloading
processes, to facilitate exact travel to target positions or to avoid
approaches in non-permitted areas - the Symeo LPR (Local Positioning
Radar) base stations attached to the vehicles transmit their current
position accurately to within a few centimetres. "The real-time
positioning of handling equipment, such as straddle carriers, reach
stackers, fork lifts, cranes or gantry cranes, further enables the
continuous tracking of pick-up and unloading positions and hence
complete material tracking of all container movements," explains Dirk
Brunnengrber, CEO of Symeo GmbH.

Maximum flexibility: Combination with other sensor technology possible

The robust, vibration-resistant Symeo LPR base stations measure their
position up to 30 times per second through the time-of-flight
measurement of the radio signal to the LPR transponders, which are
attached to the existing infrastructure, for example lamp posts or
buildings. Any number of vehicles equipped with LPR technology can
analyse the individual LPR transponder signals within a radius of up to
300 m. "The system concept of easily attachable LPR transponders and
the open software platform SymeoEngine allow efficient coverage of any
sized area and the combined analysis with further application-specific
sensor technologies," explains Symeo managing director Christoph
Rommel. This also enables operation in combination with the satellite
positioning system GPS. In this way, travel across open spaces, for
example, can be tracked to within several metres, using GPS. At the
start and end points and in areas without a usable GPS signal - in
buildings or in locations near metal, such as under cranes or near
ships - the LPR sensor technology takes on the responsibility of
reliably transmitting the exact position. "The SymeoEngine processes
the sensor data to find an absolute position and transfers this to the
evaluation logic via standard interfaces. Symeo technology is thus the
cornerstone of economic and consistently reliable system solutions,"
sums up Christoph Rommel.

Featured White Papers

  • Seven Best Practices for Speech Analytics: Speech analytics is valuable for identifying issues in the contact center. However, limiting its use to the contact center only considers a portion of all customer interactions and subsequently only reveals a small part of the voice of the customer. This paper discusses how organizations can optimize their Speech Analytics implementation strategy to realize the promise of this exciting technology.
  • Understanding the Voice of the Customer: Today's contact centers involve a sea of information that must be captured, processed, and distributed on a daily basis. Effective use of this information enables companies to remain competitive in an increasingly aggressive and customer centric marketplace. An overwhelming percentage of the information that circulates in a contact center's audio recordings, documents, web pages, and emails is unstructured in that it resides outside of a normal structured database and cannot be managed efficiently. These unstructured items contain valuable information, yet this information historically has been difficult to organize, categorize, and access.
