Real-Time Location System
General
The RFN’s Real-Time Location System (RTLS) utilizes RFID/BT Tags to pinpoint objects’ location, using RF signal strength analysis. Based on the object location and other info/logic, the system can apply specific functions (e.g., send the object location’s info, sends a trigger to close a door, send alerts, etc.). The solution includes RFIDs, Repeaters, Gateways, and Management application.
How it Operates
The Repeater receives the signals from the Tag then calculates its signal strength and transfers this info to the Gateway, which sends it to the management application, via WAN/LAN/Cellular networks. The management application receives the event information and applies predefined functions.
