Real-time location systems (RTLS) are becoming a useful tool in the management of ports and container terminals. Becoming a "smart port" requires better visibility and tracking of assets in real-time, improving operational efficiency and worker safety. In this article, we will explore the usage of RTLS in creating smart ports and container terminals, with a focus on worker safety, vehicle tracking, collision tracking, and container storage.

Real-time forklift tracking in an age of IoT devices is becoming increasingly common in all sorts of environments, including warehouses, factories, ports, and logistics hubs. Historically, inventory has been tracked with simple RFID tags, requiring manual scanning, or more complex and cumbersome Bluetooth or “Active” RFID tags. Now, there are RTLSs (Real-time Location Systems) that can be set up with fewer sensors, higher accuracy, and a far greater number of benefits. Ours is called

Industrial technology has come a long way over the past twenty years. Factories, auto plants, airline hangers, and logistics centers are often at the cutting edge of technological development, but there is always newer technology that can improve efficiency and promote a better working environment. Tool Management Systems have existed in some shape or form since antiquity, but due to new Real-Time Location Technologies (RTLS) they are evolving into more comprehensive, user-friendly technology. In

Transport logistics has rested at the core of many businesses and urban environments for a long time, but over the past few years, efficiently running transport hubs, ports, industrial loading docks, and warehousing facilities has only become more difficult. Shortages in staff, increase in fuel prices, more diverse transport fleets (including EVs), and the expense of land for parking and loading have all applied pressure to this critical work. On top of this, pressure

Indoor asset tracking is a system that tracks the location and movement of assets in indoor environments like hospitals, factory floors, and offices. Challenges like limited line-of-sight, interference, attenuation, and accuracy requirements make indoor asset tracking more difficult than outdoor asset tracking. This article will explore some of the technical considerations for tracking assets indoors. Let's start with a brief overview of technologies used for indoor asset tracking.
