What is RTLS? Real-time location tracking and monitoring
RipplesIPS RTLS software is among the best Real-time location system (RTLS) with beacons deployed to depict the indoor localization of persons and objects within the shop floor and warehouses using a resilient mesh network. This indoor localization is a technical challenge because outdoor map devices do not work within interior spaces, besides the need to frequently charge the batteries. The need for indoor positioning systems in warehouses, and factories can help improve productivity, and save costs in the current business scenario, where modernization and going digital will be the need of the hour. Industrial RTLS tracking starter kits can be deployed for indoor location tracking, and within budget to gain business intelligence insights. Using the mesh network, a cold chain monitoring and tracking system can be quickly deployed. The RTLS dashboard can bring new insights into warehouse inventory tracking and machine uptime. This topic explores the basic understanding of Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS), including what they are and how they function.
Real-time location systems
Real-time location systems (RTLS software) for shop floor monitoring comprise workflow monitoring software, data visualization tools, report builder, indoor analytics, and asset & inventory tags, to aid in asset inventory tracking, workflow monitoring, facilities management, employee productivity tracking, etc. Factories and warehouses can track high-value assets such as machinery, tools, spares, raw materials, finished goods inventory, etc that need to be located easily and accounted for. The indoor location tracking and indoor mapping solution using Bluetooth low-energy indoor positioning technology, provides real-time location of asset inventory without the need for Indoor GPS software or Wi-Fi access points, making it the easiest and most efficient solution available in the market (FAQ).

Best RTLS software & solutions
How does a mesh network indoor positioning work? Bluetooth Low Energy beacons for the best RTLS software to operate on a mesh network,. Low Energy mesh enabled sensors provide the right solution to accurately locate the position of asset inventory in a shop floor area that spans vast areas of up to 100,000 square meters and supports up to 1 million devices on a highly reliable, no interference, zero failure network for production critical applications. Ideal for Indoor mapping factories. Unlike Wi-Fi beacons, Bluetooth low-energy beacons have longer battery life up to 15 years. Read about IoT starter kit pricing
Wirepas massivemesh and RTLS coverage options
Why are signal beacons used for positioning? Our research and development team has crossed significant milestones in building cloud-enabled RTLS software using BLE mesh asset tracking beacons for inventory management and patient workflow tracking solutions. The software can create zones on the shop floor, assign tracking tags, and indoor positioning beacons such as pressure, distance, tilt, acceleration, etc, and provide a bird’s eye view for operations team members to take corrective action where needed.

Indoor localization and positioning work patterns
The benefits of the deployment of efficient, low maintenance, and secure real-time location tracking systems are many. These include an increase in productivity, asset utilization, theft prevention, remote monitoring, improved servicing, and efficient inventory counting. Indoor location mapping can help trace key resources, and their deployment on the shop floor, and enable the knowledge transfer process.
Applications and Use Cases for RTLS Software
Assigning BLE beacons in a production or repair environment will help understand the time taken to pass through different phases of the processing zones, hence identifying bottlenecks in the system. Combined with people tracking matrices, the operations team will be able to assess productivity gains accordingly.
Real-time asset location tracking systems can be deployed easily with mesh software technology for indoor mapping hospitals, and logistics yards. The combination of our various sensors allows the accuracy of appx five feet. RipplesIPS RTLS software deploys multiple sensors for the detection of proximity, indoor location, magnetic fields, pressure, barometer, accelerometer, and gyroscope, and combines them with external sensor data using the Wirepas massivemesh IoT platform.
