What are Real-Time Location Systems?

Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) are technology solutions that enable the precise and continuous tracking of the location and movement of assets, people, or objects in real-time. These systems utilize a combination of technologies such as RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification), GPS (Global Positioning System), Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and sensors to gather location data and transmit it to a central system for processing.

RTLS finds applications in various industries, including healthcare, manufacturing, logistics, and retail, where accurate location information is crucial for improving operational efficiency, safety, security, and asset management. By providing instant visibility into the whereabouts of items or personnel, RTLS enhances decision-making, resource utilization, and overall process optimization.
