What is RTLS?RTLS in Action

 

What is RTLS? The acronym RTLS stands for real-time locating solution.

 

Sometimes you may need to keep things in perspective. Other times it is enough to know that there is something in the general domain. RTLS results can be configured to indicate where a tag has different size levels. You can also configure an RTLS system to tell you when a signal is passing through a particular family or other critical control.

 

Although RTLS can give you the exact information you need over and over again, the exact information you need is very scarce. Normally for RFID RTLS, you need to know the location when you need it. Why do we need to understand where it is every second when it moves after a few hours or a few days? In this case, every minute or hour of update will suffice and you can configure it according to your system.

Different types of sensor technologies (RFID, RFID part, RFID passport, radio pass, etc.) can be used regularly to achieve different levels of surveillance according to your needs. Monitoring factors, environmental conditions, welfare requirements and other factors significantly influence this decision.
