HID Industrial Real-Time Location System (RTLS)
Less waste, fewer rejects, safer shifts. Gain end-to-end visibility of your manufacturing process. Real-time location data fuels efficiency and continuous improvement.
Knowing the Location Is Just the Beginning
Most factories track orders or assets at key handover points. RTLS goes further. It provides you with a new layer of data that delivers continuous location intelligence to your entire digital ecosystem.
Real-Time Visibility
Indoors and outdoors
Market-Leading Accuracy
And 99% reliability in industrial settings
Quick Time to Value
Thanks to test kits and easy scaling across facilities
Top Industrial RTLS Applications
Our RTLS helps you keep production steady, reduce search time, prevent delays and keep people safe across every shift.
Work-in-Progress Tracking
Track semi-finished products and components to prevent unplanned downtime.
Asset Visibility
Know where every tool, pallet and container is. Cut search time and speed up audits.
Connected Worker
Speed up evacuations, respond faster to incidents and keep restricted areas clear.
Intralogistics Tracking
Prevent bottlenecks and make better use of your vehicles.
Yard Visibility
Track vehicles across the yard for accurate staging and timely dispatch.
