Background introduction to the positioning scheme ## 2.1 Why do you need a multi-positioning solution? What are the disadvantages of traditional solutions? Since the beginning of the large-scale deployment of IoT systems (typical tipping point: 500+ nodes), the localization complexity of physical devices has increased nonlinearly. Traditional manual positioning methods face structural challenges in scenarios with more than 500 nodes: * Time spent searching for positioning devices: Labor efficiency decays to ≤5 nodes/person·hour (baseline: ≥20 nodes/person·hour) * Location operations as a percentage of total O&M costs: jumped from <5% in the pilot period to 22%-40% (Source: 2024 Global IIoT O&M White Paper) * Unit node positioning cost = K\*e^{0.003N}(N>500) *Formula description: The cost increases exponentially with the increase of the number of nodes (N) (K is the benchmark coefficient)* The scale of the Internet of Things is driving the urgent need for intelligent positioning solutions: an architecture that can suppress the cost per node location in the linear growth range has become a necessity for the survival of 500+ node systems. ## 2.2 What are the positioning solutions on the market? (Not### necessarily provided to customers, you can show us inside) ###2.2.1 Scintillation localization method * Principle: Select the device on the system interface and trigger its flashing command, and the operator matches the physical device with the system entry by observing the flashing status of the on-site luminaire with the naked eye. * Cons: *1. Severe space constraints: When the number of devices is large or widely distributed (large area/multiple floors), it is extremely difficult to recognize flickering with the naked eye, and the positioning efficiency is extremely low. *2. Huge time consumption: Positioning in large-scale deployment scenarios takes a long time. * Applicability: It is only suitable for scenarios with a very small number of equipment (such as sample testing) and limited space (small scale), and is not recommended for regular projects. ### 2.2.2 Infrared localizationpositioning method * Principle: There are two ways to useUse the infrared interface of the device to achieve positioning or binding:binding, 1.there are two specific ways: Binding upon network access: *1. Use the IR remote control to light up/control the device one by one to bring it into the network. *2. A single operation is operated by the system, and the system will bind the device when entering the network (no need for subsequent separate positioning). 2. Positioning after accessing the network: *1. After the equipment is connected to the network in batches, the target equipment is selected with infrared remote control on site. *2. When clicked, the system interface will highlight the currently selected device entry in real time. * Limitations: Both methods rely on infrared signals, requiring the device enclosure to be non-metallic or must be designed with an exposed IR receiving window. ### 2.2.3 Document positioning method * Principle: According to the MAC address table provided by the equipment, the installer manually records the physical installation location of each device (e.g., floor/area/number). After the device completes network access, the system manually matches and enters the recorded physical location information to the corresponding MAC address entry to complete the positioning. 1. According to the device number (marked on the white box of the device) and MAC address correspondence table provided at the factory. 2. The installer manually records the installation position of each equipment on site according to the number (e.g., "No.1 - the east side light of the corridor on the first floor"). 3. After the device is connected to the network, the system manually refers to the record document, searches for the entries corresponding to the device number/MAC one by one, and manually renames and marks the location. * Cons: *1. Cumbersome operation: requires on-site recording and system secondary entry. *2. High risk of human error: There are significant risks such as number transcription errors, ambiguous location information records, and system entry errors. *3. Less efficient: Dual operational processes reduce overall efficiency. ### 2.2.4 QR code positioning method * Principle: Use a dedicated app to scan the QR code that comes with the device and enter the custom location name (such as "east side light of the corridor on the first floor"). After the device enters the network, the system automatically completes the positioning and matching according to the name information bound during scanning. 1. Before installation, use your phone to scan the QR code that comes with your device. 2. The scan also renames the device directly according to the installation location (e.g., "South Gate Entrance Ceiling Light"). 3. Once all devices are installed and named, export a manifest with the new naming and device identifiers (MAC, etc.). 4. Import the list on the system side to automatically complete the renaming and location matching of device entries. * Pros: *1. Positioning automation: Position marking is completed during installation, and the system is automatically matched, significantly improving efficiency. *2. High ease of operation: simplifies the intermediate links of documentation. * Risk warning: Although the operation is convenient, there is still a low risk of artificial code scanning and naming errors during the installation process. # 3\. Introduction to SafeMesh positioning scheme ## 3.1 QR code positioning method (recommended) * Operation process: 1. Before installing the product on the wall, the installer uses his mobile phone to scan the product QR code.

On the system side, the operator enters the corresponding custom equipment names one by one based on paper documents. * Core features: It is suitable for environments where mobile phones cannot be used, but manual handwritten records and secondary input matching are required in the system. * Applicable scenario: Large-scale system deployment and the installer cannot use the mobile phone. ## 3.3 Scintillation localization method * Operation process: 1. Equipment installation and import system. 2. Click the "Flicker Positioning" function of a device on the system interface. 3. Observe whether the corresponding physical device flashes on site to determine its physical location. * Core features: The operation is the simplest and more direct, but it needs to be manually observed and confirmed, and it is difficult to accurately identify flashing equipment in large spaces or equipment-dense environments. * Applications: Recommended only for sample testing, demonstration validation, or small-scale systems with a small number of devices and concentration. # Technical Support & Resources (SafeMesh has no content, for follow-up) ## Get help: * Technical Support Portal URL * Supported email addresses * Support phone/hotline number * Working hours * Online community/forum links ## Quick Links: * Provide the online document library URL if the document is online. * List **direct download links** or find locations for all core documentation (such as product documentation download pages).
