Smart indoor positioning solution

Indoor navigation

Indoor navigation PILOT is designed to enhance movement within large buildings, improve traffic management, and offers tools for performance analysis and optimization. Ideal for shopping centers, airports, hospitals, schools, and other areas where precise navigation and movement monitoring are vital.

What is indoor navigation?

Indoor navigation is a location tracking and routing technology specifically made for indoor environments, delivering high accuracy. Unlike GPS, which often fails indoors, the technology relies on sophisticated methods for positioning inside buildings. PILOT assists users in finding their destinations while allowing property owners to manage visitors traffic effectively.

Reasons to choose PILOT

Enhanced user experience

Users benefit from an intuitive navigation tool, lowering stress levels and saving valuable time.

Precise indoor positioning

The system determines locations with meter-level accuracy, essential for large facilities.

Reduced search time

Fast access to key areas like shops, offices, exits, perking, and other important zones.

Increased visitor flow

Convenient navigation boosts customer loyalty and attracts new visitors.

Analytics and data

The system collects user behavior data, analyzes routes, popular areas, and visit durations. Access statistics on movement patterns and congestion, improving space management.

Consideration for accessibility

Indoor navigation features take into account the requirements of all users, including those with disabilities.

System integration

The software integrates efficiency with security management, building control, CMR, and additional platforms.

Data protection

We ensure the confidentiality and protection of all users’ data within the system.

Indoor navigation technologies

Wi-Fi positioning

This technology utilizes existing Wi-Fi infrastructure to determine device locations. Wi-Fi access points function as anchors, allowing the system to estimate a device’s position based on its proximity to multiple signals. It requires no extra hardware and is ideal for large areas with solid Wi-Fi coverage.

Bluetooth beacons

These compact devices broadcast Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) signals at intervals. Mobile devices within range determine their position based on signal strength. Compared to Wi-Fi, beacons provide greater accuracy, making them suitable for environments requiring precise navigation.

RFID and NFC systems

RFID and NFC effectively track assets and equipment. Tags are attached to items, with readers determining their location. These technologies are useful for monitoring inventory and tracking equipment movements in real time.

Infrared tracking sensors

These sensors identify thermal emissions from nearby individuals. When placed throughout a facility, they can discreetly monitor movements and assess visitor patterns. Since they don’t identify individuals, they’re appropriate for public environments while ensuring privacy.

Selecting the most suitable technology depends on facility characteristics, required accuracy, budget, and navigation system objectives. Our specialists can help you select the best solution tailored to your project’s needs.

Case studies

Shopping malls 

Implementation of indoor navigation in shopping malls, store visits in remote areas increased by 25%. Most visitors appreciated the convenience of finding stores, cafes, and parking areas, which significantly reduced time spent wandering. Data collected by the system helped owners redistribute visitor traffic and boost activity in less popular sections.

Airports

At an international airport, the navigation system enabled passengers to quickly locate boarding gates, baggage areas, and restaurants. Consequently, delays decreased by roughly 15%. Moreover, passengers started utilizing cafes and shops in waiting areas more often since they no longer dedicated excessive time searching for locations.

Exhibition centers

During an international exhibition, the navigation system allowed attendees to find booths more efficiently, increasing engagement levels. Organizers noted reduced time spent searching for booths and events, which contributed to longer visitor stays and improved overall satisfaction.

Feedback

After implementing PILOT indoor positioning in our shopping center, we noticed significant changes: visitors experienced less confusion and found stores more quickly. Tenants report increased foot traffic, especially in previously hard-to-find areas. While implementation required time and adjustments, the results have exceeded our expectations.
