The reason I am talking today..

”I love APIs and I want to make you aware”

&

”I love Co-Creating and working with our customers,

through APIs.”

What are Real Time Location Services


What is RTLS anyway…

” Real Time Location Systems (RTLS)

describe a class of Systems that provides

information in Real-Time about the location

or proximity of objects, animals, people and

goods.”

DEVNET-1071 7


Key Criteria for Indoor Location Systems

Accuracy and confidence in the localization results.

Density. The amount of mobile tags which can be

tracked.

Range. Eg: Indoor ~30meter and outdoor ~300m

Cost of hardware and installation.

Power consumption.

DEVNET-1071 8


Location - Definition

Outdoor Location: ” Location based systems

provide applications the longitude and latitude of

the mobile device. This allows the location of the

device to be plotted on a map”

Indoor Location: ” Wi-Fi based systems

provide applications the “approximate” co-

ordinate of the Wi-Fi device. This allows the

location of the device to be plotted on a

indoor map”


Proximity- Definition

Proximity: ” Proximity alerts may tell an app that the

device is close to a certain point. This point may/may not be

plotted on an map ”

Use Cases


Missing Tool solutions ensure there is

pervasive visibility on tools/materials and

that workers can quickly search and

navigate the workspace to find them. This

is especially important for:

• High-value assets

• Tools essential to job flow

• Tools used infrequently (i.e. location is

easily forgotten)

Here we show how the user searches for

a particular tool, identifies the nearest

one available, and then uses the mobile

app to navigate the floor and retrieve it.

Finding People and AssetsDemo

DEVNET-1071 27


Geofencing solutions ensure that there is

pervasive visibility on tools entering and

exiting a pre-defined area.

Here we show how a log is created when

a tool enters/exits the pre-defined area.

An alert can also be generated for theft

prevention – for example, if someone

other than the owner exits with the tool.

DEVNET-1071 28


Tool Utilization solutions ensure that the

right number of tools are allocated

effectively across the workspace. This

may be done by:

• Identifying congested tools and

flagging them for redistribution

• Tracking tool usage rate (i.e. time

checked-out) and in which areas

certain tools are used most

Here we show how it flags a group of

congested tools for relocation and notifies

the worker through a mobile app.

Tool Utilization

DEVNET-1071 29


Worker Productivity solutions

ensure that workers are

performing effectively. It can

record the outcome and time it

takes them to complete a job to

help identify areas on which they

need more training.

Here we show how we can track

the time workers spend on their

jobs to establish a baseline and

track individual performance.
