The WhereNet system provides a single, integrated wireless infrastructure
for real-time location, messaging, telemetry, and 802.11b applications. The result
is constant, on-demand information about valuable assets in the supply chain,
their physical location, and status. Driven by wireless radio WhereTags and WhereLAN
locating access points, WhereNet offers both a real-time locating system (RTLS)
and an access point for non-WhereNet wireless LAN clients and applications. The
WhereNet system consists of four major components:
WhereLAN™
A cellular network of locating access points, Transmit Devices
WhereLAN LOS™
A network of tag transmission receivers which perform locations calculations, database functions and systems management.
WhereTag III™
A
low-powered active radio frequency (RF) transmitters associated with an asset.
WhereTag IV™
The versatile WhereTag IV is an asset tag which can be configured to match specific
location application requirements.
WhereCall™
A
wireless messaging system used for parts replenishment in industrial manufacturing.
WherePort™
A
magnetic exciter that extends the functionality of WhereTags by triggering them
to transmit differently when in range of a WherePort.
Visibility Software
Server™ (VSS)
A rich set of software development
tools for integrating WhereNet, customer, and third-party applications. The VSS
also serves as the central repository for all of the real-time location and communication
data captured by the WhereNet architecture. Applications that run on the VSS platform
include:
WhereSoft
Container
WhereSoft Vehicle
Inventory Management
Parts Replenishment
