Real Time Location System (RTLS)

RTLS has been used across manufacturing, logistics, and aerospace industries for many years, but is beginning to move into a wide variety of industries including healthcare, defence, and even office spaces. Its main purpose is to track the location of assets (anything from machines, vehicles, stock, tools and people) in real-time, creating a digital overview of the plant/factory/yard/hanger. This new “digital twin” can allow for simpler management of the site by predicting errors, unnecessary tasks, resource shortfalls, employee malpractices and more. Boundaries can also be defined within the workplace, helping with safety practices, and assets and personnel can be quickly located and redirected. By employing an RTLS system, almost any manufacturing site can root out inefficiencies and begin to automate many time-consuming processes.
