By increasing automation and removing the physical scanning and manual labor requirements of traditional barcodes, an RTLS also helps our clients make major gains in efficiency and cost savings.

It electronically steers and processes hundreds of wireless “beams” simultaneously, providing highly accurate asset locations to within two feet (0.6 meters) or less. You can do it all automatically and wirelessly, without scanning barcodes or having physical line-of-sight access to barcode labels.Ī fixed RTLS reader, such as Zebra’s ATR7000, uses a wide-range antenna to automatically detect RFID tags remotely. This means you can identify, track, and locate virtually anything in real time. Wireless transmitters inside the RFID tag communicate with an RTLS reader to pinpoint the location of the item to within two feet (0.6 meters), depending on your environment and the type of RTLS technology you’re using. The tag is printed and encoded with a unique identifier that identifies each tagged item and matches it to a database containing other relevant information about that item. An RFID tag usually takes the form of a small barcode label with tiny wireless transmitters inside it. Real-time locationing is a technology that uses radio frequency identification (RFID) to tag, track, and locate items wirelessly and automatically, even when they’re moving. It’s one thing to use barcodes and scan items at rest, so you know they’re in inventory and how many you have on hand but how do you locate and track inventory, assets, and materials when they move or are actively moving through your processes? How do you know your assets are where they should be and that they haven’t been lost or moved to the wrong location? The answer is simple with a real-time location system (RTLS). After all, you can’t track, find, or manage what you can’t see. One of the biggest challenges across many industries is getting real-time visibility into inventory and operations.
