So
how are world class organizations
using RTLS to improve business processes
today?
Container Management
Tags are attached
to pallets and containers of inventory
and tracked as they are received and
issued within the factory. Measurable
benefits in the reduction of cycle
times, the reduction of warehouse
space, the elimination of shrinkage
and improvement in operational efficiency
are achievable.

Yard Management
Tags located on
trailers, tractors and tugs or switchers
provide a real time view of what is
really happening in yards surrounding
manufacturing plants and high volume
distribution centers. Benefits include
automated entrance and exit systems,
higher shipping door utilization,
reduced demurrage charges, shorter
cycle times and increases in yard
capacity and throughput.

Call Systems
Early innovation
in the use of RTLS has resulted in
a system based on a button tag (a
tag designed with a button that is
triggered by a production worker as
a way to call for additional parts
to their particular location). RTLS
based call systems provide significant
cost savings compared to traditional
hardwired call systems and can be
easily reconfigured as new products
and production processes are introduced.

Asset Management
and Job Order Tracking
RTLS can be applied
to asset management to provide the
location of key assets such as high
value tools or mobile medical equipment
that need to be utilized in time critical
activities. As a wireless alternative
for job order tracking, RTLS can dramatically
increase operational efficiency by
supplying up-to-the-minute information
on job status and delivery dates.
With the ability to sense movement,
RTLS is also being used to monitor
assets to be certain that they are
not moving when they should not and
to signal an alarm together with location
information in the event that a change
in location is detected.
