RTLS in Manufacturing

Real-time location systems (RTLS) are used in manufacturing to track the location and status of equipment, tools, and personnel in real-time. RTLS technology uses a combination of wireless communication (BLE, UWB, LoRa...), hardware, and software (Location Engine, End-user Application, tools...) to provide precise, real-time information about the location and status of assets within a manufacturing facility.

Overall, Ubudu RTLS system for manufacturing is used to improve operational efficiency, reduce downtime, and enhance safety in manufacturing environments. The best technology for a particular use case will depend on the specific requirements and constraints of the application. It may be necessary to use a combination of different technologies to achieve the desired results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there something you need to know?

01
What is the typical Return on Investment (ROI) of RTLS in a manufacturing plant?
Icone plus

The ROI of RTLS in a manufacturing plant depends on the use case and on the costs of the solution (especially cabling costs). Ubudu hybrid RTLS can be deployed with different technical architectures in order to optimise the costs of the solution based on the client needs. With this approach, the ROI is between 6 to 12 months.

02
How much time can operators save searching for work orders, tools & equipment?
Icone plus

The time spent by operators searching for assets in manufacturing and logistics plants have been reduced by 60-80%. This means that not only the operators have more time to spend on added-value operations and be more productive but it also revalues the work of operators by giving them the tools to be more efficient.

03
Can the data be integrated into MES, WMS and ERP systems?
Icone plus

Yes, Ubudu provides an open API that allows you to integrate real-time and historical data to your MES, WMS and ERP systems. There are 3 types of data that can be integrated: positions, entry/exit in zones and alerts. Automatisation can be done by defining actions to take place automatically in your system based on the data received from the Ubudu system.

04
How can I analyse the flow of my operations using RTLS?
Icone plus

The Analytics Dashboard enables you to create any type of graphic you want to analyse the flow of your operations. For example, you can create pie charts to quickly see how much time assets spend in different zones, you can make use of the flow diagram to see in which zones the asset went, you can create heatmaps to identify in which parts of the plant most assets go etc...
