VM Vision is at the forefront in the design of RTLS systems<\/strong> for the industrial and logistics sectors and is among the few software houses that can boast the creation of systems with the Real Time Locating System<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

What is the RTLS system?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div>
<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Real Time Locating System<\/strong> is the system that allows you to identify and track in real time with great precision the positioning and movements of any object within a delimited environment.
\nThe system works through Wi-Fi signals emitted at certain intervals by tags, data transmission devices, which are collected by receiving equipment, locators and gateways, which record automatically and in real time, through a triangulation operation, the exact position of the object associated with the tag. The data is sent to the ERP, WMS and MES company systems to allow traceability control and management in an efficient and timely manner.<\/p>\n<\/div>

What is the RTLS system for?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div>

Position and movement monitoring ensures the optimization of a company’s logistics and production activities.<\/p>\n

In logistics<\/strong>, it allows you to always know the movement and positioning of a material, of a pallet within a warehouse and therefore eliminates waste of time due to its search.<\/p>\n

In production <\/strong>it allows you to track the assembly and mounting processes of the various components but also the movements of semi-finished and finished products and therefore optimizes the control and verification of each production phase.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    The elements of the RTLS system<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

    <\/div>
    <\/div><\/div>
    <\/div>

    Tag<\/strong>
    \nSelf-powered device that is placed on the asset to be tracked. The battery-powered tag emits pulses that are sent to the locators and forwarded to the gateway.<\/p>\n

    Locator<\/strong>
    \nDevices installed in fixed points in the environment where the tags move. To track the movements it is necessary to install an average of 3 locators to cover the entire area using the triangulation technique.<\/p>\n

    Gateway<\/strong>
    \nFixed device that receives the messages emitted by the locators and sends them to the data collection software. Each gateway, sure enough, records the strength of the signal emitted by the tag towards each locator.<\/p>\n

    Data processing software<\/strong>
    \nReceives and analyzes the messages sent by the gateway, processes them in real time, records the instant position of the tag and sends it to the web software creating a historical archive of the movements.<\/p>\n

    Web software<\/strong>
    \nResponsive, allows the consultation and graphical display of data on PC, tablet or smartphone.<\/p>\n<\/div>
