Navigate to success: technologies for indoor navigation
Precise indoor navigation requires innovative technologies that can adapt to the specific challenges of these environments. Here are some key technologies that can be used for indoor navigation:

Precise indoor navigation requires innovative technologies that can adapt to the specific challenges of these environments. Here are some key technologies that can be used for indoor navigation:

QR Codes:

QR codes are two-dimensional barcodes that can be scanned by smartphones or cameras. Indoor navigation using QR codes requires certain codes to be placed in relevant locations. Users scan these codes to receive instructions or location information. QR codes offer a simple and cost-effective solution.

Bluetooth (BLE):

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons are small, energy-efficient devices that continuously emit signals. Smartphones and other devices can receive these signals and determine the exact position in the room based on the signal strength. BLE is particularly suitable for precise indoor localisation and navigation.

WLAN (Wi-Fi):

WLAN-based indoor navigation utilises existing Wi-Fi networks in buildings. The position of a device can be determined by triangulating the signal strengths of different Wi-Fi access points. WLAN is well suited to larger areas and offers a greater range.

RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification):

RFID technology uses radio frequencies to exchange data between a reader and an RFID tag. In indoor navigation systems, RFID tags can be placed at strategic points and readers can recognise the tags to determine the position. RFID is particularly suitable for precise and cost-efficient indoor localisation.

"UpVisit makes it easy for visitors to find their way around, but it also enhances the experience. It makes it easy for the visitor to plan their day at AI HOUSE, but also to discover more that would probably go unnoticed."

"The D(e)-Estonia showroom in Mittweida offers a unique way to experience Estonia. The showroom itself, live feeds to Tallinn and VR glasses allow visitors to have an interactive experience: a fascinating virtual trip to Estonia. I was particularly impressed with the content team's talent for creating rich multimedia content from our input when working together for our immersive showroom. I also really appreciate the ability to maintain the content of our screens myself at any time with the help of the user-friendly CMS."

"With OPEN, we are building and operating one of the largest and most modern fast charging networks on Mallorca, powered entirely by locally generated renewable energy. Our promise? "Charging as a joyful break". Thanks to our strategic partnership with UpVisit, we can deliver on this promise while successfully rolling out UpVisit across Mallorca. While the car is charging, UpVisit provides passengers with additional information about the public transport network, the island and the next excursion options - barrier-free and in their native language."

"The Maritime Erlebniswelt Papenburg app sends our visitors on their own personal journey through the history of the city and offers the target groups new opportunities to interact with the topics of the exhibition during and after their visit. Thanks to the platform solution, the implementation went smoothly and very quickly. The easy-to-use backend makes it child’s play to adapt or add content, even for the inexperienced."

Inertial navigation systems:

Inertial navigation uses sensors such as gyroscopes and accelerometers to track the movements of a device. This technology is good for determining directional changes and distances, but can be prone to cumulative errors.

Ultrasonic technology:

Indoor navigation systems can use ultrasonic waves to accurately determine the position of devices. By measuring the time of flight of ultrasonic signals, precise distances can be calculated. Ultrasound is well suited for environments where other technologies may be limited.

Selecting the optimal technology depends on several factors, including accuracy requirements, cost, infrastructure and specific venue requirements. A combination of several technologies is often used to ensure comprehensive and reliable indoor navigation.
