IoT/Indoor Sensing
Indoor sensing is a technology that detects and tracks the position, status, and behavior of people and objects in real time indoors or in limited spaces where GPS and other devices cannot reach. By processing and analyzing this data on the cloud or local networks through IoT, it can be used for various applications, and in factories and warehouses, it is used for DX in various situations, such as inventory management, improving work efficiency, and equipment operation status. Another feature is that sensing technology uses various devices such as beacons, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, and can be selected according to needs and budget.
ERI Inc.
"InQross Kaizen Maker" is a system (patented) that visualizes the locations and operating status of workers in factories, warehouses, etc.

Quuppa RTLS positioning solution
Sato Corporation
<Quuppa RTLS Positioning Solution Product Introduction>
Sato Corporation's Quuppa product is a high-precision, real-time positioning system that utilizes Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology. The Quuppa system uses dedicated tags and receivers, and a proprietary algorithm that measures the angle of arrival (AoA) and signal strength (RSSI) of radio waves to obtain location information with an accuracy of approximately 50 cm to 1 meter.
Sato implemented Quuppa products to improve productivity and accurately manage materials in manufacturing sites. For example, in automobile factories, tags are attached to workers' helmets and vehicle bodies, and ceiling-mounted locators measure their location information with high precision. This allows for real-time understanding of the progress of work processes and accelerates on-site work.
<Implementation Case>
Nissei Service Co., Ltd. implemented Quuppa products to streamline warehouse management. Previously, they used paper-based inventory management, which resulted in time-consuming item searches and delayed response times. However, by introducing Quuppa, they were able to link with their own system to grasp package information in real time, significantly reducing inventory time. This allowed them to reduce the number of workers from three to one, greatly contributing to more effective space utilization.
By introducing SATO's Quuppa products, they can be expected to improve the efficiency and safety of manufacturing sites and logistics operations, making them suitable for use in a wide range of industries.

Ubisense RTLS Positioning Solution
Sato Corporation
<Ubisense RTLS Positioning Solution Product Introduction>
The Ubisense product implemented by SATO Corporation is a high-precision, real-time positioning system utilizing ultra-wideband (UWB) technology. The Ubisense system uses dedicated tags and UWB sensors to measure the angle of arrival (AoA) and time difference of arrival (TDOA) of radio waves, enabling location information to be obtained with an accuracy of approximately 15cm.
SATO implemented Ubisense products to improve productivity and visualize work processes in manufacturing sites. For example, real-time tracking of worker movement within a factory can improve work efficiency and ensure safety.
<Implementation Case>
In the case of Shinko Kogyo Co., Ltd., the company implemented Ubisense products to visualize work flow. Shinko Kogyo, a leading manufacturer of commercial air conditioning equipment, faced the challenge of accurately tracking the time workers spent in their work areas. By implementing Ubisense, tags attached to workers' helmets and UWB sensors installed within the factory were used to measure work flow with high precision and quantify area dwell rates.
With this system, the work area dwell rate increased from 65% to 86% in one month, significantly improving work efficiency. Furthermore, by analyzing movement patterns, it was possible to relocate tool storage areas and improve the layout of work areas, reducing unnecessary movement.
The introduction of SATO's Ubisense products is expected to improve the efficiency and safety of manufacturing sites and logistics operations, making them suitable for use in a wide range of industries.
For detailed product information and implementation examples, please visit SATO's RTLS website or contact a sales representative.
