RTLS
A system that tracks the location of people or assets in indoor and outdoor spaces in real time through a network of fixed receivers and signal-based positioning technology. Its accuracy can range from room level to sub-meter level.
Timeline (last 90 days)
RFID mainly solves the problem of item identity recognition, with readers activating tags at close range, answering 'what is this thing'; RTLS, by contrast, solves the problem of continuously locating where an item is at this moment.
The positioning accuracy of RTLS can range from room level to sub-meter level, and the higher the accuracy, the more demanding the requirements on infrastructure density and synchronized clocks.
In factory scenarios, RFID is suitable for inbound/outbound inventory counting and process node confirmation, while RTLS is suitable for tracking the real-time positions of high-value mobile equipment, forklifts, or transfer containers, and the two are often used in combination.
