What is RTLS? Real Time Location System (RTLS) is a modern Indoor Positioning System that identifies and tracks subjects within a known workplace. This technology belongs under Internet Of things (IOT) and Digital transformation. RTLS can be understood as Indoor complement of GPS.

How does it work? RTLS technology is a combination of Hardware and Software
- Active Tags – electronic moduls transmitting very short radio signal. Tags are attached to objects or worn by people. Signals from Tags are received and processed by Anchors.
- Anchors – fixed reference points receiving radio signal from Tags. The set of Anchor devices create the infrastructure that is necessary for coverage of workplace where identification of objects required. The Anchors send data via Ethernet or WiFi connection to server. Position of tag is calculated on servers based on data received from Anchors and by trigonometry formulas
- Server – receiving data from Anchors, calculate Tag positions using trigonometry and artificial inteligence. Store data for the next processing
- Web RTLS administrator – tool for administration of MacTrack system providing also basic workspace visualization and reports
- RTLS data transfer and Integration with local IS allows to display, process data from RTLS and operate them in local client information system
