InTool
A mobile tool for administering and managing digital twins of GIS INP
InTool is a mobile application for the Indoors Navigation Platform (INP), designed for professional administration, testing, and management of digital twin building infrastructure and GIS.
It gives engineers, administrators, and technical specialists access to the navigation system's "under-the-hood" functionality. InTool is more than just a map. It's a monitoring tool: it allows you to check equipment status, test routes, manage notifications, scan, and configure position sensors.
InTool becomes an indispensable assistant during the implementation, configuration, and operation of the INP system, allowing you to quickly identify problems, verify infrastructure performance, and promptly make changes.
Why do you need the inTool mobile app?
Infrastructure administration
Check the activity and battery level of BLE sensors. Configure their operating parameters. Test coverage and positioning accuracy. Collect information about equipment operation. You no longer need to wander around the building with a laptop and special software—it's all on your phone.
User experience testing
Verify route mapping between any points in the building. Test navigation scenarios for different user groups (people with disabilities, visually impaired). Monitor POI and media content display. See the system through the eyes of the end user.
Management of modules and communications
Managing room reservations. Handling requests under various roles. Testing the notification and push message system. Using the built-in messenger for communication. Testing all user interaction scenarios.
Features of the inTool mobile app
A building's digital twin is a complex system consisting of maps, routes, POIs, equipment, and software modules. Its smooth operation requires constant monitoring. InTool puts this control in the hands of specialists, right from their smartphones.
Interactive map and navigation
The application provides a 3D map of the building with the ability to:
• View floor plans and 3D models.
• Build routes based on the user's location.
• Use AR navigation: virtual signs are superimposed on the camera image, guiding the user along the route.
Equipment management
Working with positional sensors (BLE beacons):
• Visualization: All installed beacons are displayed on the map.
• Diagnostics: Sensor activity and battery charge level, which allows you to plan their replacement in a timely manner.
• BLE scanner: Allows you to connect to devices and change their settings (password, broadcast parameters) directly from the application.
Administration and debugging
Tools for technical specialists:
• Tracks: Record route tracks for positioning system calibration.
• Debug menu: Display technical information: map loading time, data from device sensors, technical logs.
• Devices: View a list of equipment added to the building.
Communication and services
InTool also serves as a platform for testing modules:
• Messenger: Built-in chat for communicating with colleagues and administrators, creating group chats, sharing files.
• Room booking: creating requests, viewing timelines, confirmation by the administrator.
• Notifications: Receive and check push notifications related to tracking and events in the system.
Warehouse navigation
In a modern warehouse, you can lose not only cargo, but even a person. These huge complexes may consist of several storage rooms and loading areas.
Who needs the inTool app?
For tuning engineers
For equipment testing, system calibration and on-site troubleshooting without unnecessary equipment.
For building administrators
To monitor the state of the infrastructure, analyze the load and test new scenarios.
To the operating services
To monitor the condition of assets, check the availability of premises and equipment, and control the operation of sensors.
For developers and integrators
For testing navigation scenarios, checking APIs, and debugging your own solutions based on the INP platform.
