SOLUTION AREA
Real-Time Location Tracking (RTLS)
From identification to a traceable operational workflow.
An RFID-based approach to improving field visibility by tracking where products, assets and personnel are seen within defined areas.
SOLUTION AREA
How does the workflow operate?
Identification, movement and system data are connected around the actual operational workflow.
- IdentifyProducts, loads or people receive a suitable identity.
- Capture movementMovements are captured at relevant points with the appropriate infrastructure.
- Validate the eventData is checked against operational rules and evaluated as an event.
- Integrate the systemVerified information is transferred to the relevant operational or business systems.
SOLUTION AREA
Core operational areas
- Product and asset identification
- Capture of defined field movements
- Inventory, status and traceability
- Mobile or fixed workstations
- Connection to existing systems
SOLUTION AREA
From identity to operational event
Making location visible in the field
Real-Time Location Tracking (RTLS) is an approach for improving the visibility of product, asset or personnel movements across defined areas.
System components
Identification, reading points and data flow are considered together according to the tracked object, the physical structure of the area and the intended use case.
- Identifying the object or person to be tracked
- Defining reading points and area boundaries
- Collecting location and movement data
- Sharing data with ERP / WMS or existing software
Implementation approach
Accuracy expectations, site conditions, infrastructure and integration scope are clarified during discovery and technical analysis.
SOLUTION AREA
Where is it used?
- Receiving and handover
- Production and internal movement
- Warehouse, inventory and counting
- Shipping, store or destination point
- Exceptions, returns and follow-up

Frequently asked questions about Real-Time Location Tracking (RTLS)
Which identification technologies can be used?
The choice depends on the product, process, environment and required level of visibility.
Can the workflow be adapted to existing processes?
Yes. The workflow is defined around the existing operating model and project requirements.
Can it integrate with ERP, WMS or other systems?
The appropriate interface is defined after reviewing the data structure and process scope.
How is suitability verified during a project?
Through a controlled assessment, suitable hardware and a pilot with real operating conditions.
Can the solution be introduced in stages?
Yes. Scope and priorities can be staged according to process risk and integration needs.
