The quality of the data collected in production control and logistics increases significantly
through the use of SIMATIC RTLS. In addition to identification of objects and vehicles, position
data is available in real time. The localization platform covers entire buildings, halls and factory
sites almost completely and ensures a degree of transparency that could not be achieved with
established technology so far. This results in competitive advantages for you, such as
increased productivity, lower costs and shorter process times. The SIMATIC RTLS localization
platform offers a wide product portfolio so that you can always implement the best solution for
you. Its unique hybrid technology allows for a perfect match to the application while it ensures
the coexistence with other radio technologies at the same time. The high-performance
SIMATIC Locating Manager can process a very large number of transponders in real time.
Applications for SIMATIC RTLS can be found in many places throughout industrial automation.
The locating and tracking of objects of almost any kind and in real time, e.g. of workpiece
holders, tools and ground conveyors, can be used for production control as well as material
handling control. Logistical processes, in particular, benefit from the high quality and availability
of the location information. The management of vehicle fleets, such as buses and streetcars in
public transportation as well as trucks and ground conveyors in the production and logistics
environment, is ensured by its own product group within SIMATIC RTLS. From complete
monitoring over transmission of status data from the vehicles all the way to automatic loading,
cleaning and maintenance processes, the localization platform can offer its support by
providing high-quality location information in real time.
