A Survey on the Potentials of Indoor Localization Systems in Production

Abstract

Indoor localization systems are primarily designed for the precise determination of the position of objects. In addition, the position data obtained can be used to create further potentials, so-called secondary benefits. So far, only a few of these are mentioned sporadically in the literature. In this survey, they are now collected and categorized. Further potentials are revealed in two consecutive expert workshops and transferred into a five-level model that contains a description of each use case and can be regarded as a recommended logical order for practical implementation for both developers and production managers.
