51 uses smartphones and doesn ’ t require investment in new infrastructure , something Trigoni highlights as a significant benefit . “ One of the most common alternatives is installing beacons which trigger when someone passes them . Unfortunately , when installing beacons around a large building ( such as a hospital ), you ’ ll need hundreds , if not thousands , to create an accurate map .” Navenio circumnavigates this issue .
Describing the tech which drives the app , Trigoni states that a complex network of IoT , cloud and artificial intelligence ( AI ) algorithms generates positioning infrastructure . “ Our indoor positioning system comprises a plethora of smartphone and cloudbased algorithms that enable location-based services in a scalable and infrastructure-free manner . At the core , we have developed robust signal processing and deep learning algorithms for human and asset motion tracking using inexpensive inertial sensors on smartphones and IoT devices .” What is perhaps more impressive is that when floorplans are unavailable , Navenio ’ s smart algorithms can collect anonymised
