Abstract

We are seeing a boom in the use of real-time position data to automate and optimize tasks in the field of production and logistics. Here we consider the reasons for this, show what has already proven to be industrially viable and give an overview of six current research efforts. We show which use cases have been automated by RTLS and where RTLS could play a role to further optimize production processes or material flows in the future.
