BiDaE Positioning System (BPS) is deployed to provide real-time indoor location services. It covers 2,500 square meters of the Emergency Department and areas where mobile beds can be and uses 180 Lbeacons to achieve 3-5 meter or 5-10 m location accuracy. It is designed to respond within 2 seconds to tens of concurrent searches of hundreds of devices, equipment and people.
BPS is deployed to support navigation in outpatient area and object tracking with floor-level accuracy throughout the campus except for 6 wards. Within those wards, it provides room-level accuracy.
Seeing-I-Go is available to guide outpatients to the doctors’ offices and labs on their appointment lists.
Object tracker enables staffs of the 6 wards to locate devices with room-level accuracy. It also provides them with all operation support functions, including generation of shift change records and object traces.
Object tracker is used to track the movements of devices and delivery persons within the campus.
Object tracker can locate in real-time hundreds of objects with 3-5 or 5-10 meter accuracy within the entire Emergency Department and hallways where mobile beds can be.
BiDaE indoor positioning system supports via its API 3rd party patient/caretaker monitoring and bed management apps.
BiDaE object tracker is deployed to provide search and locate capability needed for fully intelligent mobile medical devices and bed management. It is configured to achieve zone and floor level location accuracy.
Object tracker provides geofences and location monitors to enforce confinement of visitors to visiting areas and residents with infections to isolation areas.
The system enables the staff to monitor vital signs of residents remotely and generate hourly rounding schedule adherence reports, etc.

Object tracker is used to ensure worker safety: Lone workers wear on their hard hats sensor tags with accelerometers. Such a tag enables the system to monitor minute motions of its wearer. The system calls specified person(s) to take appropriate actions when it detects the absence of motion of any wearer. The object tracker is also used to monitor contractors, making sure that they are at their work places at all times except during rest and meal breaks.
BiDaE Object Tracker is used by UMC in its headquarter building and 8A/8B and 8C/8D plants to monitor and track deliverers. Each type of deliverers has a delivery route and a time limit for staying in the buildings. The system is to issue an alarm whenever any deliverer is found to deviate from the route or overstay the time limit of the deliverer type.
