Accurate localization in indoor environments is a challenge due to the Non Line of Sight (NLoS) nature of the signaling. In this paper, we explore the use of AI/ML techniques for positioning accuracy enhancement in Indoor Factory (InF) scenarios. The proposed neural network, which we term LocNet, is trained on measurements such as Channel Impulse Response (CIR) and Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) from multiple Transmit Receive Points (TRPs). Simulation results show that when using measurements from 18 TRPs, LocNet achieves a 9 cm positioning accuracy at the 90th percentile. Additionally, we demonstrate that the same model generalizes effectively even when measurements from some TRPs randomly become unavailable. Lastly, we provide insights on the robustness of the trained model to the errors in ground truth labels used for training.
