Abstract
In industrial environments, precise operator localization is a critical challenge to enhance safety, particularly in confined spaces or hazardous zones requiring rapid interventions. While the Global Positioning System is widely utilized, it is unsuitable for indoor environments. An alternative solution lies in the use of radio frequency devices, with Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology emerging as one of the most promising methods for precise indoor localization. However, industrial environments raise additional challenges, such as the presence of obstacles that lead to non-line-of-sight (NLOS) conditions and complex spatial configurations. This paper investigates the application of UWB-based localization in multi-floor environments, focusing on the impact of anchor placement on localization accuracy. Through experimental studies, it is demonstrated that UWB enables precise localization, even in complex configurations involving multiple floors or independent zones. Furthermore, this study highlights the importance of exploring anchor placement optimization while accounting for NLOS effects, paving the way for significant improvements in localization performance within complex industrial environments.
