01 / BLE AoA + inventory integration
Inventory with a physical location
System design studyThe system says it is in stock. Where is it now?
An inventory record tells a team what it owns. A location system can show where a tagged item was last observed. The useful part is joining those two views without losing the identity or freshness of the data.
The ANRUISUN indoor-navigation design study explores BLE angle-of-arrival data alongside an inventory platform, with Odoo Inventory as the proposed integration. A tag-to-asset mapping connects radio coordinates to the item people actually search for.

TYPICAL SYSTEM SCOPE
On the asset
BLE location tag
An identifier bound to the item, container or equipment record.
In the space
AoA locators + positioning engine
Installed receivers and software that calculate a position in the mapped space.
For the operator
Floor map + inventory
An asset view combining the item record, zone and last known position.
- 01
Identify the asset
Bind the tag identifier to an inventory item or tracked asset. Keep replacements and reassignments explicit.
- 02
Receive the position
Normalize coordinates, map and zone identifiers, timestamps and available battery information from the positioning engine.
- 03
Show it in context
Display the asset on a floor map alongside its inventory record. Distinguish fresh positions from stale or missing updates.
- 04
Validate the workflow
Check tag-to-record matching, coverage, update delays and what the operator sees when a tag stops reporting.
Information the integration needs
- Identity
- Tag ID linked to the inventory record
- Location
- X / Y / Z, map and zone
- Freshness
- Last received and calculated timestamps
- Device state
- Battery and gateway metadata, where available
Project outputs
- Asset and tag mapping model
- Location message contract
- Floor-map and zone integration
- Coverage and data-freshness test plan
Based on ANRUISUN indoor-navigation and RTLS design documents.
