Search for nothing – but find everything: with the K-RTLS real-time locating system from OPAL and KATHREIN Solutions, you locate objects in industrial environments to within 25 centimetres.
The solution
Real-time data as the basis for connected processes
K-RTLS is used in intralogistics and production environments – for example to monitor manufacturing progress or for a transparent material flow. The status and location of the desired objects are determined via real-time data: the basis for connecting the processes in your value chain.
The most valued benefits: high efficiency and easy installation. Searching for and losing material are a thing of the past, safety in production and logistics increases – and the system adapts to every step of your business.
The benefits
What you achieve with RFID/RTLS
- →Monitor and optimise the flow of materials in production
- →Locate mobile devices in real time – e.g. medical devices in hospitals
- →Locate containers and vehicles more quickly in yards and large warehouses
- →Support mobile robots and autonomous vehicles in quickly finding material
- →Efficient theft protection
The system
Transponders, nodes and the CrossTalk IoT Suite
On the hardware side, the KATHREIN Solutions RTLS consists of RTLS transponders and RTLS network nodes – plus the CrossTalk IoT Suite, one of the most advanced software solutions for managing AutoID and IoT devices as well as track-and-trace visualisation.
The compact, rugged transponders are attached to the objects to be monitored using an innovative adapter mounting system and continuously send signals to the system. All integrated objects can be located quickly within the covered area – giving you valuable information for your control processes.
What possibilities does RTLS offer specifically for your company? Together with KATHREIN Solutions, we take care of planning, implementation and maintenance – all from a single source, all designed by experts.
