Location Intelligence for Smarter Industrial Automation
Automate workflows, trigger real-time actions, and connect people, assets, and equipment using RTLS-powered location intelligence and industrial automation.
The Challenge of Manual Operations
Many industrial processes still depend on manual intervention to move materials, trigger workflows, update systems, or coordinate operations. This results in delays, human errors, and inconsistent execution. By combining RTLS with automation, organizations can create intelligent workflows that automatically respond to real-time events.
Manual Process Execution
Employees perform repetitive operational tasks that can be automated.
Delayed Workflow Triggers
Production processes wait for manual approvals or operator intervention.
Human Errors
Manual data entry and process execution increase operational risks.
Limited System Integration
Location information is often disconnected from ERP, MES, PLC, and SCADA systems.
Slow Decision Making
Supervisors rely on manual updates instead of real-time operational events.
Inefficient Operations
Disconnected systems reduce productivity and increase operating costs.
How Industrial Automation Works
1.
Wearable Tag or Asset Tag
Personnel, assets, vehicles, inventory, and equipment are continuously tracked using RTLS technologies.
2.
Reader/ Gateway Network
The RTLS platform continuously detects location events such as entry, exit, proximity, dwell time, movement, or equipment availability.
3.
Automation Engine
Business rules automatically evaluate each event and trigger predefined operational workflows.
4.
Enterprise & Industrial Integration
Automation commands are sent to PLCs, SCADA, MES, ERP, WMS, CMMS, IoT platforms, or other connected systems.
5.
Analytics Dashboard
All automated actions, workflow history, and operational performance are monitored through centralized dashboards and reports.
