iGPS/iSpace

Modular positioning, tracking and measurement system for factory-wide deployment

iGPS is a modular large scale metrology solution that transforms large fabrication facilities into accurate metrology-enabled areas. Within the facility, an unlimited number of handheld measurement probes or tracking sensors (fixated on tools and components) can operate concurrently.

Unique iGPS capabilities in terms of scalability, robustness and concurrent use provide quick return on investment as well as a solution that grows along with expanding manufacturing operations.

Predefined iSpace configuration packages use iGPS technology to track multiple measuring devices ? handheld probes, articulated arms and laser radars ? that can be operated concurrently.

Features

  • Expand measurement volume by extending transmitter network (iGPS)
  • Measurement volumes ranging from 400 to 1200m3 (iSpace)
  • Continuous health monitoring and transmitter redundancy
  • Unlimited number of users and applications within the iGPSenabled working volume.
  • Multiple devices can be equipped with iGPS receivers for accurate positioning
