RTLS already helps you to
Significantly increase production, process, device, device lifecycle and staff efficiency
Better identify waste detection, generate less waste, and use less space
Execute real time process management, leading to faster decision making and better planning
Fully integrate out-of-production processes with production tracking systems
Make faster and better decisions due to instant process flow monitoring
Improve your quality assurance system
But IRID-RTLS is superior than other technology solutions in several aspects
Reliable, it leads by leaps and bounds, when high objects/tag density is required
It has a 1 - 2 cms locating accuracy as compared to 1 - 100 ms by other technologies
It is unaffected by manufacturing environment and electromagnetic interference - unlike other technologies
Immune to electromagnetic disturbances interferences - unlike other RF technologies
Easy to scale up and band best value for money for most situations and applications
Brief case study
A major German producer of microelectronic products, control units, and sensors for automotives identified several disadvantages in their existing RTLS technology, some of which are:
- locating precision was not appropriate
- large number of tags could not be tracked
within a small area (low object density) - RF technology posed a high risk
within the noise-sensitive environment
After an initial assessment, the IRID-RTLS system proved to be superior to any other applications and the company implemented the IRID-RTLS system at its largest assembly line.
