FLORA HOLLAND USE CASE: VISIBILITY NEEDS
Tracking of goods/trolleys/… in today’s warehouses shows blind spots→ Increase visibility of assets by extended localization
Specific zones in a warehouse have different needs with regard to localization:- Local presence detection: incoming & outgoing goods passing thru gate/dock- Fine localization: critical handling zones, storage zones- Coarse localization: track goods outdoor, detect on or off premises

FLORA HOLLAND USE CASE: REQUIREMENTS
Localization needs:
(*) Location update frequencies can be lower if asset is not moving.
Technology screening:- Passive RFID UHF C1G2- Quuppa: BLE based, Angle of Arrival, best-case accuracy 30cm- LoRa: Time Difference of Arrival, expected accuracy 30-150m
