Operations with RTLS become more and more automated. On one hand, this automation makes it possible to speed up actions, relieving workers of those dangerous or repetitive tasks with low cognitive value. On the other hand, the introduction of autonomous vehicles into warehouses also transforms these settings into hybrid spaces and requires special focus on the safety of workers.
Hence the need for increased visibility on the entire supply chain of the company thanks to the integration of IoT and Artificial Intelligence (AI) with company resources, such as ERP and WMS.
RTLS systems are very versatile and can generate great benefits and efficiency in various contexts. An example can be found in intensive logistics where assets location, combined with the use of AI applications and integration with systems such as WMS enables tangible benefits allowing position-based scheduling, reducing empty trips and minimizing tasks execution times.
