N2 - Local positioning systems are important in operations management study because they are able to track physical assets or people. Such systems can help, but are not limited to, factory automation, inventory or asset management, etc. Advanced wireless technologies provide a chance to make such applications more effective. One of the possible wireless technologies is the ZigBee technology. Since such wireless local positioning systems could be represented as a sensor network, multi-agent system would be a good candidate to model such systems. In this connection, an agent-based wireless local positioning system with ZigBee technology is proposed in this paper.
