Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) based Real-Time Location System (RTLS) for real-time localization of objects and integration of sensors
To the roll-out variantssimplinic.Net provides the basis for real-time localization and integration of sensors in the hospital. The infrastructure is linked to the simplinic.Cloud and thus enables the processing and display of live data.
The hardware used is standard commercial components. The Bluetooth receiver consists of a minicomputer and a housing. The receivers require power (preferably from a wall socket) and are connected to the simplinic server via WIFI (or LAN). The receivers are attached to the wall with a special Velcro tape, close to the ceiling. If necessary, they can also be screwed.
The transmitters or sensors are also commercially available components. These can be reordered by the hospital from specialist dealers at any time in order to integrate new objects.
Essentially, the so-called beacons continuously transmit their unique ID, which is then determined by the receivers. In addition to beacons, sensors are increasingly being built directly into devices. For example, hospital beds have sensors that can send an "out-of-bed" message, or oxygen cylinders have the ability to transmit live fill levels. Signals from wearables can also be recorded via simplinic.Net , provided that the object is Bluetooth-capable and the manufacturer allows this.
simplinic.Net is a local plug & play infrastructure for real-time localization and the integration of sensors.
simplinic can be introduced in 3 variants.
