Siemens Real-time Locating with RTLS

Precision for Automation. Driven by Data.

With Siemens SIMATIC RTLS, the user always knows where everything is located in industrial applications. Thanks to seamless real-time positioning, the scalable RTLS enables the user to precisely locate relevant assents in production and logistics.

Complete Positioning Solution for Indoor and Outdoor Locating

Real-time locating of relevant assets ensures maximum transparency and opens up brand-new prospects in a wide range of applications. With the knowledge of what is moving where and when the ability to visualize these data points, the user is able to remove bottlenecks and boost throughput and efficiency.

Stop Searching. Start Finding.

Significantly reduce search times

SIMATIC RTLS lets the user locate relevant assets in real time with an accuracy measured in centimeters - whether workpieces, tools, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), robots, or even employees. As a result, the user can eliminate time-consuming search processes and optimize their material inventory.

Applications:

• Control production stages • Workpiece status and position

• Container management • Forklift location

Effortless Documentation.

Automation documentation processes

With SIMATIC RTLS, the user automatically guarantees the perfect quality control of their products and processes. In addition, the input and output of materials and end products, manual and automated workflows in production and assembly, as well as service and maintenance jobs are documented automatically.

Applications:

• Maintenance • Paperless factory

• Container management • Tool locating

• Depot management

Monitor and Optimize Processes.

Shorten throughput times

Discover the many ways to optimize processes with SIMATIC RTLS - for example, by monitoring the entire material flow from the warehouses, to the travel routes of the user's transportation systems, to the movements of tools, workpieces, and components within the process. This allows the user to identify bottlenecks, analyze material flow, and shorten throughput times. Relevant information on a particular object can always be displayed directly.

Applications:

• Forklift location • Depot management

• Container management • Paperless factory

Control and Coordinate Workflows.

Automate and accelerate workflows

With Siemen's pioneering, real-time locating system, the user can coordinate and accelerate workflows by automating production steps based on the progress of preceding steps. The user can also control their mobile production and tools, identify optimal transportation routes, avoid hazards, and implement self-controlling production and logistics concepts.

Applications:

• AGV / Trugger trains • Robotics

• Depot management
