INDUSTRY CHALLENGES

Visitors
01

Visitors

Difficulty finding exhibits and navigating complex layouts reduces the visitor experience. Inaccurate audio-guide triggering and crowded exhibition areas disrupt tour continuity. Visitors expect clear navigation, timely exhibit information, and a smooth, comfortable museum journey.
Operations
01

Operations

Limited visibility into visitor routes, dwell times, and hotspot trends makes it difficult to optimize visitor flow and exhibition layouts. High visitor volumes increase security pressure, staff coordination challenges, and emergency response complexity. Operators need reliable navigation and actionable visitor insights to support efficient operations.
INDUSTRY CHALLENGES Management
01

Management

Insufficient insight into visitor movement and crowd distribution limits layout optimization and operational planning. Maintaining smooth visitor flow, ensuring safety, and managing emergencies become increasingly challenging during peak periods. Management requires accurate location intelligence to improve operational efficiency and safety oversight.

APPLICATION OVERVIEW

The Eforthink UWB Museum Tour Positioning Solution combines UWB Anchors, smartphones with native UWB capabilities, and a smart tour guide application to create centimeter-level spatial awareness throughout museums.Powered by the Eforthink Downlink UWB RTLS System, visitors can accurately locate exhibition halls and exhibits while receiving automatic exhibit-specific content and navigation guidance. High-precision positioning enables seamless navigation, precise content matching, and a more immersive museum experience.

By leveraging visitors' smartphones as positioning terminals, museums can deliver high-precision smart guidance with lower deployment and maintenance costs while improving system adoption, operational flexibility, and commercial value.
​
At the same time, real-time visitor flow analysis, crowd monitoring, asset tracking, and electronic fencing capabilities help improve operational efficiency, security management, and exhibition layout optimization, providing a digital foundation for future smart museums and digital cultural heritage initiatives.​

Automatic Exhibit Guidance
Key Points Key Points
  • Requires accurate visitor location recognition to trigger the correct content when visitors approach specific exhibits.
Key Points Key Points
  • Provides only approximate location information and cannot distinguish between nearby exhibits, resulting in inaccurate content triggering.
Key Points Key Points
  • Metal displays, glass structures, and environmental changes may affect accuracy, requiring repeated calibration.
Key Points Key Points
  • ✓ Centimeter-level positioning accurately identifies visitor-exhibit distance, enabling precise automatic guidance and preventing incorrect content playback.
Seamless Multi-Floor Navigation
Key Points Key Points
  • Multi-floor exhibition spaces require continuous navigation across galleries, elevators, stairways, and parking areas.
Key Points Key Points
  • Floor-level recognition is unreliable around stairs and elevators, requiring users to relocate manually.
Key Points Key Points
  • Cross-floor positioning is affected by installation conditions, signal obstruction, and network environments, causing navigation interruptions.
Key Points Key Points
  • ✓ Smartphones calculate positions locally without network dependency, enabling continuous navigation from parking areas to exhibition halls across multiple floors.
Low-Maintenance Exhibition Operations
Key Points Key Points
  • Museums require long-term stable operation with easy device management and minimal maintenance disruption.
Key Points Key Points
  • Device status visibility is limited, requiring manual inspection and frequent battery maintenance.
Key Points Key Points
  • Base station angles, coordinates, and environmental changes may affect accuracy, requiring repeated calibration.

Asset Safety & Security

Real-Time Location Tracking and Guided Tours 1

• Centimeter-level Accuracy: Achieved by deploying UWB Anchors in key areas and cooperating with the UWB module built into the audience's mobile phone shell.
• Signal Stability: The UWB signal possesses strong anti-multipath effect and anti-metal interference ability, ensuring stable, precise positioning even in environments with dense metal display cabinets and complex wall shielding.

Intelligent Guide Experience 2

• Real-Time Triggering: Explanation content for corresponding exhibits is triggered in real-time based on precise location.
• Experience Assurance: Ensures correct navigation paths and accurate matching of explanations to exhibits, guaranteeing a smooth visiting experience.

Backend Management & Operations 3

• Real-Time Tracking: The system presents the precise location and movement trajectory of each mobile phone shell in real-time after full coverage.
• Asset Retrieval: Staff can quickly retrieve and locate any shell without manual searching, supporting efficient inventory and scheduling.
• Crowd Control: Monitors crowd density based on real-time location distribution to actively guide audience diversion, improving on-site scheduling efficiency and emergency response capabilities.

Power Efficiency & Maintenance 5

• Self-Powered: The UWB module is directly powered by the audience's own mobile phone, eliminating the need for independent batteries and charging management.
• Cost Reduction: Fundamentally eliminates the museum's investment in charging and maintenance.
• Lightweight Usage: Realizes a "use and go" lightweight guide experience.

Asset Safety & Security 4

• Status Monitoring: The background system monitors the on-off status of the module in real-time.
• Anti-Theft Alarm: The shell triggers an immediate alarm via an electronic fence when leaving the library, ensuring asset management safety.
