Real-Time Location System

Ubisense is the global market leading precise RTLS (Real-time Location System) utilizing UWB (Ultra-wideband) technology to deliver unprecedented levels of precision, responsiveness, reliability and scalability. The solution provides visibility into mission-critical applications, delivering substantial savings for customers and partners in logistics, manufacturing, entertainment and military industries.

A break-through in the application of a radio frequency (RF) technology called ultra-wideband (UWB) has enabled the development of a revolutionary real-time location system (RTLS) which delivers very high positional accuracy in traditionally challenging environments at reliability levels unachievable by legacy technologies such as conventional RFID or WiFi.
The 15cm 3D positional accuracy in real-time delivered by the Ubisense system is enabling a number of new applications including:

• Precision device location in space and time, for example to
  associate the data from a bar code scanner with its location in a
  warehouse
• Providing the location of a pallet of goods placed in a warehouse by
  a fork-lift truck by associating the precise location of the truck´s
  fork with the pallet or shipment ID at the time of placement
•  Automatic context sensitive proximity detection between objects,
  for example to select the correct program to drive an automatic
  tool based on its proximity to a car of a particular type and model
  without any manual input
• Identification and location of cars in finishing bays during final
  quality assurance
• Determining if during an emergency procedure employees have all
  reached designated mustering areas or indeed if there is a "man
  down" requiring assistance

The Ubisense system is enabling rapid return on investment, often in less than 12 months, because the data generated provides a level of transparency in complex processes which cannot be achieved intuitively or visually. When embedded in production processes, the Ubisense system provides location aware support to workers, reducing defects caused by human error and cutting down the time needed to execute a particular task. This in turn leads to improvements in quality and production costs.
