Abstract(s)
As tecnologias sem fios têm vindo a ser alvo de grandes desenvolvimentos o que se apresenta como uma excelente oportunidade para empresas automatizarem e otimizarem os seus processos de negócio. A tecnologia Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) permite estes automatismos com baixo nível de investimento permitindo acesso a informação relativa á localização de equipamentos em tempo real. Este projeto surge da necessidade da Caetano Retail em possuir uma ferramenta que permita o tracking de viaturas nas suas instalações, bem como uma ferramenta para o apoio á decisão na gestão de espaço e no processo de preparação de viaturas. A arquitetura apresentada foi implementada em ambiente laboratorial e o resultado foi um protótipo funcional que serve como prova de conceito e que utiliza beacons e antenas BLE por forma a simular o posicionamento das viaturas. Os processos cobertos por este protótipo contam com o suporte de uma aplicação móvel que permite assegurar a mobilidade dos colaboradores pelas instalações. A informação recolhida pela infraestrutura de antenas é enviada para uma plataforma central que efetua o processamento dos dados e permite ao utilizador a gestão do sistema.
