FORMATION GmbH

Software is the Key Enabler for Your IoT: It’s Worthless Without It We presented FORMATION’s innovative asset tracking solution at the RFID & IoT in the Nordics 2024 conference in Copenhagen yesterday. The theme of the conference, Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC), aka. Asset Tracking or Asset Management, is central to our mission. But why is this such a hot topic? And what is a software company like ours doing at such a conference? Read more: https://lnkd.in/g56VGicj #AssetManagement #Efficiency #IoT #AIDC #EnergyEfficiency #HybridTracking

In setting up a high precision positioning system recently with one of our partners, we noticed something odd. We got some really precise measurements of a beacon moving through a building. However, the path the beacon followed went through a wall. Our map was obviously wrong! Of course this is not the first time we have encountered issues like this but we think it's important to make people aware that this can be an issue and that they understand why that is an issue. And finally, we of course also provide a way to address the issues. https://lnkd.in/eQPWw_FS

Augmented Reality (AR) is getting a lot of attention with the recent launch of Apple’s Vision Pro and Meta’s affordable Quest 3 product. We have been keeping an eye on this space because of the potential in the context of our product. The FORMATION app as it exists today is a map-based product that helps workers find their way in their workplace. It shows a lot of information on a map that is precisely geo-positioned on a 2D map. We also have support for buildings and floors, which enables using FORMATION indoors and outdoors. Of course the information we put on a map could also be super interesting in an augmented reality setting. We often talk about using the map as a lens to information. You could think of this as a simplistic form of AR. But imagine replacing the map with augmented reality—what possibilities would that unlock? This was the question that we were looking to answer last year via two research projects. Read more about our experiences with these two projects: https://lnkd.in/eN8z-TpA

Really nice video report by Athena Rapinan. She and Donovan Rimer whom we got via CIEE, built a really nice Web-AR prototype indoor navigation system for us. I was very impressed by how quick both of them learned and the amazing results they got. They were working with another intern, Eliyah Cohen who was embedded in our sales team. And this is very timely. We're actually interviewing our next batch of CIEE interns right now and we hope to welcome them this summer! Also, we just said goodbye to Ratul Rauniar Pradhan, who completed his internship with us just a few weeks ago. He did an amazing prototype adapting Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and GPT to query our data. Special thanks also to Julia Widdig, and the rest of the CIEE team for hooking us up with these wonderful people. If you are looking for an internship be sure to check them out. Or just reach out to us directly.
