Everything You Need to Know About Magnetic Field Positioning Technology

The magnetic field's magnitude is specified over a surface, and the magnetic field is measured across specific material structures within buildings.

FREMONT, CA: Magnetic fields are all around us and play a vital role in our survival. The earth, for example, would be exposed to hazardous radiation if magnetic fields were not there. Indoor navigation can be aided by the magnetic field, which can also give navigation. Using the magnetic field to navigate the inside is intriguing, but it is not without its difficulties. The magnetic flux density is measured using the magnetic field for Indoor Positioning Services (IPS). The magnetic flux measured in a given place of a building will also remain the same if the facility has pre-existing structures that have remained the same over time. Magnetic fields appear to make magnetic placement for IPS an attractive choice for companies wishing to map the inside of their buildings.

Issues with the technology

The intensity of magnetometer readings can vary depending on the instrument, resulting in mistakes. The navigational accuracy suffers significantly when the environment in a building changes. The issue with indoor navigation using magnetic field technology is too many magnetic disruptions. Compass sensor readings on smart gadgets are affected by magnetic-field abnormalities inside buildings.

IPS with all-in-one functionality

Other indoor navigation technologies' technological restrictions prevent them from providing what proprietary core technology does; a highly accurate and cost-effective stand-alone indoor positioning solution. Renovations, medical equipment, building beams, and kiosk location, among other things, might generate magnetic disturbances.

Remove any unnecessary expenses

Other indoor positioning solutions necessitate the use of pricey external gear and ongoing maintenance. The maintenance of indoor positioning solutions is expensive as the sensors are advanced and need to be updated.

There is no external hardware

Instead of relying on external hardware for location-based demands, technology creates a robust and precise indoor positioning system by combining data from various sources. 

The magnetometer in cellphones detects spatial direction. However, the accuracy varies widely depending on the device.
