ZeroKey's High-Precision Indoor Positioning System Overview

In indoor facilities such as factories, warehouses, and offices, there is a growing need for more accurate positioning of people, forklifts, robots, and other objects to prevent collisions and improve work efficiency.
Outdoors, GPS satellites can be used to determine location, but indoors, GPS satellite signals cannot be received, so alternative technologies are needed.
ZeroKey's high-precision indoor positioning system can solve that problem.

• High-precision 3D indoor positioning system using ULTRASONIC SENSORS (achieving millimeter-level accuracy)
• High-precision positioning is possible indoors where GPS signals cannot reach.
• The coordinates of people and objects can be acquired and used in real time.
• AGVs, forklifts, and drones can be tracked.
• Small size, low power consumption
• Technical compliance in Japan

Features of ZeroKey's solution

Unique ultrasonic technology

Utilizing our proprietary ultrasonic technology, which is patented in the United States, we achieve highly accurate positioning down to the millimeter.
It is possible to acquire 3D (X, Y, Z) coordinates, as well as tilt and acceleration information.

A positioning device with world-class accuracy for indoor use.

It offers positional accuracy (±mm class) that is more than 10 times better than UWB, which is currently the most accurate method for indoor positioning, and more than 100 times better than BLE or WiFi.
Its positional accuracy is several times higher compared to Lidar-based SLAM.

A calibration tool that eliminates the need for map creation (automatic coordinate recognition).

The ZEROKEY tool enables automatic calibration (no map creation required), 3D spatial display, and distance positioning.

Technical compliance with domestic radio wave regulations

Both models have obtained technical compliance certification under Japan's Radio Law. They can be used immediately after purchase without any special application.

Use Cases

Self-positioning of AGV/AMR

• Trackless operation of AGV/AMR

This improves the flexibility of equipment placement within factories and warehouses, as well as the track layout of AGVs/AMRs.

Tracking people and objects

• Optimization of workflow

Work efficiency is improved through the combination of skilled workers and analysis of the movement patterns of conveying machinery.

Determining the distance to various devices

• Ensuring the safety of workers

The system constantly monitors the distance between various equipment and workers, and controls the operation of the equipment.

Visualization of the work site

• Understanding worker movements and equipment locations

Utilizing data on workers' movements for training
Manage the location of equipment and prevent loss.
