Ubisense Location Platform

Ubisense Location Platform

The Ubisense Location Platform is a suite of software components that enable location sensors and tags to be set-up, calibrated and configured into cells and objects using a simple graphical user interface (GUI).

Ubisense tag locations are sent via standard Ethernet cable or wireless LAN to the Location Engine which processes the data and passes the information via an industry-standard API to applications.

The Location Platform scales seamlessly from a laptop to a multi-CPU cluster. Exactly the same software can be run on a single machine, for software development or demos, or deployed across a cluster to support huge installations generating tens of thousands of location events per second.

The Location Platform has a service oriented architecture. All services are crash-tolerant, restart-tolerant and cluster friendly and have been proven through years of testing in large scale real-time control applications in assembly plants, transit depots and military sites where high reliability and low latency are essential.

The Location Platform includes a suite of software tools for easy system configuration and its open API covers every service feature so that anything that can be done using a tool can also be done via the API.

Software components
Location Engine ConfigurationThe Location Engine Configuration tool is used to control and monitor operation of location sensors and tags as well as to tune the location system behaviour. The tool enables:

  • Monitoring and control of the sensors that are running across the platform
  • Monitoring and control of the tags that have been registered to the platform
  • Defining the cell functionality e.g. conventional radio settings and cell boundaries
  • Defining the sensor functionality e.g. master / slave operation and thresholds
  • Sensor calibration
  • Configuration of the filter mechanisms for the location calculation in the master sensor
  • Processing presence information from a combination of complementary indoor/outdoor positioning technologies

MapThe map tool allows visualization of objects tracked using the Ubisense system. It includes two main elements:

  • 2D Viewing to view objects in a map-like plan view
  • 3D Viewing to view objects in a perspective or "virtual reality" view

Platform ControlPlatform Control is used to control the core services that make up the Ubisense Location Platform. The tool interacts with the core platform component of the Ubisense Domain Object Model. This core component consists of:

  • The platform itself, which co-ordinates between controller nodes on the sensor network
  • Controller nodes, which provide the operating environment for the various services running on each machine

Security ManagerUbisense provides security and access control though the Security Manager. The Security Manager allows the definition of a security policy for the Ubisense Location Platform, to protect platform data from unauthorized access. It is designed to ensure that only authorized users are able to modify the Ubisense Location Platform state.

Service InstallerThe Service Installer is a tool that allows extra services or service upgrades to be installed into the Ubisense Location Platform. An intuitive Service Installation Wizard guides the user through the installation process.  Platform services are installed from a user-defined distribution directory. 

Service ManagerThe Service Manager is used to administer the distributed services that make up a Ubisense platform. The tool supports:

  • Monitoring the services that are running across the platform
  • Starting and stopping services
  • Deploying services on service controllers
  • Requesting that services backup their data to the core server

Site ManagerThe Ubisense Site Manager simplifies the configuration of the properties of types, objects, and building data. It gives the administrator control over objects, building models, visualization and geometry.
