  • Wireless Positioning and Sensing Network (WPSN™) for Hyper-Accurate Indoor & Outdoor Location Tracking System with Applications in the Critical and Massive IoT

    Progress Campus 941 Progress Ave, Scarborough, ON M1G 3T8 Room L1-12

    Tuesday October 8th, 2019 at 3:00 p.m. Peyman Moeini, B. Eng., MASc, PMP, P.Eng., will be presenting “Wireless Positioning and Sensing Network (WPSN™) for Hyper-Accurate Indoor & Outdoor Location Tracking System with Applications in the Critical and Massive IoT”. Day & Time: Tuesday, October 8, 2019 3:00 p.m. ‐ 4:00 p.m. Speaker: Peyman Moeini, B. Eng., MASc, PMP, P.Eng. Founder and CEO of Peytec Organizers: IEEE Toronto Instrumentation & Measurement Chapter, Women in Engineering Location: Progress Campus 941 Progress Ave, Scarborough, ON M1G 3T8 Room L1-12 Contact: Dr. Maryam Davoudpour Abstract: Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN’s) are the building blocks of Internet-of-Things (IoT) and Industrial IoT in the physical layer; however, they lack a fundamental aspect; WSN’s are not designed to be located. There has been several research papers published that addresses the addition of localization capability in various Wireless Sensor Networks such as Zigbee, BLE’s, LoRa modules, and NB-IoT. In virtually all of the mentioned networks, by adding the localization capability other network and tags advantages such as latency, battery life, scalability, and reliability will be negatively affected; in addition, the localization accuracy obtained would vary significantly depending on the sample rate and method of localization. Most localization methodologies used to locate the position of a moving tag with the mentioned WSN’s utilize Received Signal Strength (RSSI) which is a range free methodology which often has poor localization accuracy and it is not repeatable nor reliable. To address this problem a groundbreaking Wireless Positioning and Sensing Network (WPSN™) is designed developed where not only a localization accuracy of 10 cm is maintained but also latency, reliability, scalability, and battery life of the tags are not sacrificed to maintain and sustain the 10 cm localization accuracy. Biography: Peyman Moeini, B. Eng., MASc, PMP, P.Eng., is an entrepreneur engineer who has launched several successful Internet of Things (IoT) & Artificial Intelligence (AI) products in various fields such as agriculture, manufacturing, logistics, freight, retail, and mining. He has won more than 30 innovation and entrepreneurship awards in the IoT&AI fields. Peyman has extensive knowledge and experience in the IoT&AI spaces. Through his career, Peyman has developed an AI algorithm that made the time efficiency of software 500 times faster for the exact same results! He holds several patents in this space and is the founder and CEO of Peytec, a Smart Industrial IoT&AI company that builds and sells hyper-accurate “Indoor GPS” and Sensing Systems. Through his initiatives, Peyman is on a mission to help make Canada be the global leader in IoT&AI space.
