Technology
Real-time location system (RTLS)
An RTLS continuously locates tagged assets or people indoors and streams their positions to software in real time.
Components
- Anchors that receive signals.
- Tags on assets or wearables.
- A positioning engine that computes coordinates.
- An open platform (REST API, MQTT, dashboards) to use the data.
Beyond retail
The same engine that tracks trolleys tracks tools, pallets, forklifts and workers in factories, warehouses, venues and hospitals.
