Use case
Handling of semi-finished products
RTLS systems provide more effective internal handling of semi-finished or finished goods (coils, bars, tubes, etc.).
Requirements
Real-time tracking and end-to-end visibility of semi-finished and finished products
- Real-time visibility of the semi-finished product warehouse
- Locating and tracking semi-finished products through production lines
- Tracking the location of finished products to optimize the manufacturing process and the loading activities during the product shipment process
RTLS Solution
Indirect location of loading units
The position of the goods is identified by knowing the position of the handling equipment (XYZ axes). The vehicles are equipped with indoor and outdoor localization technologies.
Identification of the load units is typically carried out by barcode or RFID.
