Our sensor system (https://www.ubisensedimension4.com) can be used to locate tools and cars on production lines, storing measurements and derived locations for audit purposes. Every day each factory generates ~2e8 locations from ~1e9 raw measurements. There is an environment-dependent function from tag-to-sensor distance/bearing to sensor measurement probability/error, and an environment-independent function from a set of sensor measurements/errors to the probability of a ‘good’ tag location. Your task is to use the stored data to characterize these functions, compare them across sites, and build a planning tool to optimize future installations.
