A Novel Quadrilateral Projection Positioning Algorithm to Improve Ranging Accuracy of High Speed Stackers

Abstract:

High speed stackers are the critical equipments for automated storage/retrieval systems to improve efficiency and throughput. And the positioning technique is the key to speed regulating. The low cost and easy installation indoor positioning of wireless sensor network is applied in this situation. A novel quadrilateral projection algorithm taken advantage of the linear moving of stackers is proposed to reduce the complexity of the algorithm and improve ranging accuracy of positioning.
