20.500.12556/DKUM-85048 Indoor positioning system based on bluetooth low energy technology and a nature-inspired optimization algorithm Warehousing is one of the most important activities in the supply chain, enabling competitive advantage. Effective management of warehousing processes is, therefore, crucial for achieving minimal costs, maximum efficiency, and overall customer satisfaction. Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) are the first steps towards organizing these processes; however, due to the human factor involved, information on products, vehicles and workers may be missing, corrupt, or misleading. In this paper, a cost-effective Indoor Positioning System (IPS) based on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology is presented for use in Intralogistics that works automatically, and therefore minimizes the possibility of acquiring incorrect data. The proposed IPS solution is intended to be used for supervising order-picker movements, movement of packages between workstations, and tracking other mobile devices in a manually operated warehouse. Only data that are accurate, reliable and represent the actual state of the system, are useful for detailed material flow analysis and optimization in Intralogistics. Using the developed solution, IPS technology is leveraged to enhance the manually operated warehouse operational efficiency in Intralogistics. Due to the hardware independence, the developed software solution can be used with virtually any BLE supported beacons and receivers. The results of IPS testing in laboratory/office settings show that up to 98% of passings are detected successfully with time delays between approach and detection of less than 0.5 s. warehousing indoor positioning systems bluetooth low energy particle swarm optimization nature–inspired algorithm intralogistics skladiščenje sistemi za pozicioniranje v zaprtih prostorih optimizacija z roji delcev algoritmi po vzorih iz narave intralogistika true false true MDPI AG Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik https://www.mdpi.com/journal/electronics © 2022 by the authors Znanstveno delo 2023-08-17 09:15:07 2023-08-17 09:15:07 2025-03-21 13:31:05 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 Str. 1-27 št. zvezka 3 Letn. 11 2022 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 2021-11-30 2022-01-14 2022-01-19 338 94602499 10.3390/electronics11030308 2079-9292 Indoor_Positioning_System_Based_on-Bencak-2022.pdf Indoor_Positioning_System_Based_on-Bencak-2022.pdf 1 41C6D9F2F0C5B66C6C3498468A82A8A6 8d520c7fbd4631116c50d8e29ec6c987f7b7c3d51ea5abb34733cef938573fa7 5a7ba742-3cce-11ee-af21-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=169632 https://www.mdpi.com/2079-9292/11/3/308 0 cc4d5b1d-3ccd-11ee-af21-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=169631 Fakulteta za logistiko Fakulteta za elektrotehniko, računalništvo in informatiko Fakulteta za strojništvo 0 0 0
