2 MARKET OVERVIEW 2.1 Definitions Real-time location system (RTLS) is used to identify and track the location of people or objects in real time. Primarily, the location of people or asset can be identified within a premises. For example, a RTLS system can identified medical device or equipment in hospital. RTLS fixed reference points and tags can be receivers, transmitters or both. Real time location systems integrate with a system that offers active or passive information of location. In addition, this system is specially used in various logistics and warehouse companies to identify and track exact position of automobiles.
E
In the report, global RTLS market has been categorized with respective segments;
Hardware, Software and Service
PL
as type, end-user, and geography.
By type, the global market is divided into three types of markets as hardware,
M
software, and service. The hardware market is traced from the ground of infrared tags, badges, and other input and output (reader or transmitter) devices through
SA
which the whole process get executed and resulted in the desired form of location tracking. Additionally, software segment is traced from various solutions such as warehouse management, location, hospitality, and others. Service market is derived with various RTLS maintenance services as repairing, replacement, and upgradation of hardware and software. Technology With respect to technology, the global RTLS market is divided into various technologies such as RFID, Wi-Fi, Ultrasound, Infrared, ZigBee, Ultra-Wideband (UWB), and others. Through wireless configuration, ultrasound RTLS system provides distinct product movement in specific zones. Additionally, ZigBee tiny transmitter are tagged into devices in a standardized format and all are attached to one central computer network. All these types of technologies help in RTLS enhancement with their ever developing nature and have gained momentum in RTLS market.
