Sistema de Localización en Tiempo Real (RTLS) Enfocado a la Optimización de Eficiencia en la Asistencia de Centros Hospitalarios

Abstract

The following paper presents the development of a real-time localization system (RTLS) to facilitate the monitoring of people or objects in places where the use of radio frequency identification devices (RFID) becomes difficult. The development of the system uses ESP8266 commercial modules and 8-bit microcontrollers. Essentially the system consists of base stations and mobile points with a wireless charging system where practicality, mobility, portability and performance are the key factors for the efficiency of this localization system. Communication between the devices is done through TCP / IP protocol using the IEEE 802.11 b / g / n standard, which transmits the information necessary to determine the identification, location and if it is necessary an alert signal in case of the site’s management requires some kind of assistance, offering this way different scopes in which real-time location is a key factor.
