What is UWB?

UWB (Ultra-Wideband) is a wireless technology that works very differently from Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, sending radio waves in "short pulses". It works just like a radar.

Key Capability: Precise Positioning

UWB measures the round-trip time (Time of Flight) of the signal so precisely that it can locate a forklift or personnel in a factory with centimeter-level accuracy (e.g., ±10 cm). With Bluetooth, this error can be several meters.

• Safety: When a forklift gets too close to a pedestrian, the UWB system detects this and automatically slows down the vehicle.
• Follow-Me Robots: Enables a transport robot to automatically follow the operator.

In industrial safety and traceability applications, UWB is positioned as the standard of the future.
