2020年12月底,科隆展覽宣布将与三星电子合作,为线下展会参与者的安全保驾护航。双方共同研发了一个IPS室内定位系统,专门用于监测场馆各个展厅内访客的轨迹和人数,并向所有参会者实时共享这些数据,以此来有效调控展馆人员密度,降低疫情风险。访客可以通过“电子保安”APP看到自己的实时定位。据悉,这款APP将在科隆展览2021年3月10-13日举办的首场线下展会IDS牙医展正式使用。
Indoor positioning system enhances safety
The community of developers of K?lnmesse and Samsung SDS are launching a new product to make it possible for face-to-face exhibitions and their exhibitors and customers to stage safe events in the age of corona. They have developed an indoor positioning system (IPS) that monitors numbers of persons and the movement of visitors through the halls – in an anonymized way – and makes the collected data available to the fair participants in real time. The users own location is also displayed dynamically. Visitors can use this information to adjust their exhibition visit accordingly. This new app, called"eGuard", is part of a comprehensive package of safety measures to provide an environment in which meetings and business can resume.
The eGuard-App will be deployed to coincide with the return of K?lnmesses own events and will be a core component of the safety and hygiene concept of IDS 2021 (March 10 to 13).
