Location quality monitoring

Analyze the accuracy and robustness of location systems

Summary

A key requirement for SmartSpace is to be able to analyze the accuracy and robustness of the location systems that feed location data into the system. With Location quality monitoring various location quality monitors can be set up across a deployment, and each can generate health metrics.

Monitors can also raise sensor errors when the number of detected issues within some time interval exceeds a threshold.

Benefits

Location quality monitoring is useful in several contexts:

  • in qualifying the suitability of a given location system to be used for a planned application
  • in deployment and commissioning to ensure that the planned location system is functioning as expected
  • in production to monitor for location system issues and failures due to changing environment and infrastructure
