RTLS

RTLS automatically identify and usually in a building or other area within the real-time location of any object or people, is used to monitor. Wi-Fi RTLS tags on objects or worn by people, and the most RTLS, fixed wireless signals to get tags to determine the position of reference points. real-time monitoring for page automobiles on an assembly line are examples of systems, pallets have to find the goods in a warehouse, in a hospital or medical supplies finding.

RTLS technology, physical layer, usually radio frequency (RF), some form of communication, but in some systems, optical (usually infrared) or acoustic (usually ultrasound) technology can use instead of or in addition to RF. Tags and fixed reference points as a result of a number of possible combination of technology, transmitters, receivers, or both.

RTLS are a form of local positioning system and is usually GPS, mobile phone tracking, or just do not talk to systems that use passive RFID tracking. Location information can usually speed, direction, spatial orientation-free.

Origin

The term is only active RTLS RFID automatic identification tags to describe an emerging technology capabilities not provided (about 1998) has created, but also added the ability to view the location on a computer screen. With this ability, although previously used by the military and government agencies, the technology was too expensive for commercial purposes. In the early 1990s, the first commercial RTLS three health facilities in the United States transmitting infrared light signals were installed and active tags are based on the transmission and decoding.

Applications

RTLS is available as well as numerous logistical and operational areas:

Such a wrong tool cart as finding a warehouse, a plant, asset discovery New places, such as a warning notification if a team's car left the wrong plant Placed on a pallet multiple items in a single location, such as, identity, merge Ensure the proper staffing levels to protect areas of activity such as this, they are in the right place in the prison in order to protect during or after an emergency evacuation quickly and automatically account for all staff automatically tracks the time and duration of such a patient waiting in the emergency department through a process of people or assets, as follows, the progress stamp, time until discharge from the operating room, and total time spent. Such a system can also be used to improve the process. place to support the management of acute care capacity at the clinical level.
