OmniSphere

The comprehensive platform that allows you to easily locate & track assets and personnel

OmniSphere is a modular IoT middleware platform that integrates all data from Omni-ID’s Sense devices in a single place, providing simple yet highly effective data collection, interpretation, storage and visualisation.

OmniSphere allows for easy data evaluation by automatically accessing gateways to obtain data and removing the need to configure network servers manually or decode device payloads to obtain sensor data.

It also enables process modelling and is easy to integrate with existing corporate software, such as ERP, HR or HSE apps. The platform has been designed to be self-configurable so users can adapt it to their organisation’s unique operational needs.

How It Works

Performance Overview

Dashboards

GNSS coordinates

Rule Engine

OmniSphere has a range of dashboards displaying sensor data from motion alarm, temperature, range measurement and push button alerts.

Sense Locate Position devices status dashboard provides simple view displaying device battery voltage, GNSS Fix, Motion alarm and temperature Alarm data.

Current and previous positions of devices can be reviewed on a configurable using GNSS coordinates.

Sense Locate Position, breadcrumb map showing current and historic location of the device.

OmniSphere’s rule engine includes basic features such as generating alerts based on sensor data such as alerting via email when a device enters or leaves a Geofence or notification that a device is reporting that the measured temperature is out of a pre-configured threshold.

OmniSphere allows for simple and quick evaluation of Omni-ID Sense products, simplifying technology evaluations and enabling ‘proof of concept’.

3 Key UX Features of OmniSphere

Self-configurable

This flexible tool has been designed with the user in mind to ensure each of use and simple self configuration without high level technical expertise. The platform can be used to provision new devices, configure events types, status and key performance indicators (KPIs), change menus, upload maps and layouts and create geofences. It is also easy to use Omni-Sphere to manage different organizations, sites and teams via access control to profiles, organizations and users

Tracking + processes

OmniSphere provides operational process management, including:

RFID, bar codes, QR, precise positioning with RTLS, GPS trackers and IoT devices over LoRa, Sigfox and 3G networks.
Easy logging and data processing of the movement and status of assets and personnel.
Process-oriented functionality: event-based processes, tasks, reports, alarms
Server-based algorithms, ML, AI

Easy integration

OmniSphere is based on an open API for easy integration with other systems and applications:

Data consumption, system monitoring and configuration
Different options available:
Intermediate exchange tables for back-end systems (XML and JSON) REST/JSON
Websockets for web-based applications
MQTT (XML and JSON)

Multi-organization & role-based profiles

OmniSphere’s layered architecture consolidates multiple buildings and locations into a single integrated system, giving you all of the information you need.

Traceability on a wide scale

Logging and processing data about the life of things, “the assets,” and people. Server-based intelligence: ML, AI.

Visual location management

An easy-to-use indoor and outdoor mapping interface provides the ability to quickly locate items across your organization, filter groups and manage view layers.

Process-oriented functionality

Beyond basic positioning, OmniSphere manages events, status, tasks and key performance indicators (KPIs). Multi-tenant application, provides full access control (organizations, users, profiles).

Self-configuration and provisioning

Configuration of the application: menus, processes, interface with other systems. Adding new sensors or assets

Powerful rules

OmniSphere’s powerful rules engine quickly configures rules and alert distribution lists, so your organization can effectively manage the deployment and resolution of location-based events

Historical Records

TrackSphere™’s robust database-driven solution enables in-depth analysis of historical data to resolve past issues and better predict future needs and patterns

Open enterprise platform

A flexible JSON and web service-based API provides system integrators with access to the necessary data when needed. Partners or customers can integrate this data into their own reporting tools

Report generation and distribution

A complete report generation and distribution system is available with user-specific KPIs & reports. For extra flexibility you can create Excel csv downloads and integrate with Tableau & Power-BI tools.

Three user interface options

A responsive UI for web browsers on desktop, tablets and smartphones. Our Android native app with offline and online working modes through advanced sync is ideal for handheld readers.

Connected Workforce features

Optimizing complex work processes and empowering collaborative teamwork, contractor management and safety features

Sense Demo Kits

OmniSphere is a key element in the Sense Technology Evaluation Kits. These kits are available in a BLE version and a LoRaWAN version and come with two-months’ access to OmniSphere Lite*and pre-configured for the devices supplied with the demo kit. All that is required is to plug in the gateway to a network switch to provide an internet connection. The gateway will then automatically push the device data it receives to OmniSphere where data is interpreted, stored and displayed on a user-friendly graphical user interface. Speak your Omni-ID sales representative to discuss the benefits of OmniSphere and to order one of the evaluation kits.

*OmniSphere Lite is the Demo version of OmniSphere that allows for testing and POC’s.

Use Cases

Tool Tracking

Maintenance centers and manufacturing facilities often face the problems of workers finding misplaced tools or production machinery. This not only slows down productivity, but could also lead to serious consequences. For example, in the aerospace industry, tool compliance is key: misplacing a small screwdriver could prevent the aircraft from taking off.

Warehousing and Yards

OmniSphere can provide instant inventory, precise location of pallets, containers, boxes or items.
Logistic managers ask to locate stocks in real time and keep consistency with their enterprise resource planning (ERP) or warehouse management systems (WMS) data. Stock management, event reporting. Auto parts deposit storage. Dismantling yard. OmniSphere improves common challenges in the supply chain such as: Wasted time searching for assets (cars, pallets, containers) Incorrect container pickup Late container docking Detecting unloading overruns Incorrect docking location Assembly and line-stoppage delays

Industrial Assets

In the middle of the chaos and confusion of a busy factory floor, you need to keep track of your production and supply chain assets. It allows you to keep up the pace while not losing high value assets and inventory.
The Manufacturing Vision Study 2017 reports that 62% of manufacturers worldwide still use spreadsheet-based methods to track their assets. This figure is expected to drop to 20% due to the further development of smart asset tracking solutions. By providing valuable information about asset status, location and flow, employees are relieved of the burden of tracking, and the errors that inevitably accompany manual methods of data input are eliminated.
