IBCS POLAND SPÓŁKA Z OGRANICZONĄ ODPOWIEDZIALNOŚCIĄ realizuje projekt dofinansowany z Funduszy Europejskich pn. „ibcsDock/ibcsCloud: zautomatyzowany system rejestracji przepływu towarów w magazynie”.
RTLS system
Real-Time Location System (RTLS) gives you the ability to track resources in real time, and thus effectively streamlines the flow of goods and people.
What is RTLS?
RTLS, i.e. Real-Time Location System, is a solution based on modern UWB (Ultra-Wideband) radio technology, thanks to which it is possible to monitor resources in real time. Transmitters placed on them, also known as tags or markers, help to monitor the location of objects. The receivers located in the area that we want to control are responsible for reading the location of individual objects. The digital version of the data collected by the receivers is stored in the RTLS software. RTLS technology can be used to locate things as well as people or animals.
RTLS system allows you to:
- tracking the location of resources in real time,
- automation of the identification process,
- acceleration of operations,
- diagnosing irregularities.
The range of RTSL system is practically unlimited and at the same time extremely precise. The transmitters have low power consumption and can be recharged quickly.
RTLS - where is it used?
RTLS system allows you to control the warehouse and production process as well as monitor the movement of people and animals in a specific location. The system can be implemented with high precision inside buildings – for example in warehouses or production halls. Thanks to RTLS technology, employees do not waste time searching for resources.
RTLS is used in industry and logistics. In the first case, the automotive industry is the leader. In the latter, the management of full pallets by large logistics operators can be an example. There is also a growing demand for asset tracking in the medical industry – monitoring of medical equipment.
RTLS system is used for:
- asset tracking,
- inventory control,
- maintaining safety in the workplace (safety alerts, social distancing),
- employee tracking.
Asset tracking
RTLS system makes it easy to monitor assets, including vehicles and equipment. It is also used to control the movement of resources – e.g. a change of location due to loss.
The Sewio RTLS solution allows for full real-time visualization in a given area. The location of tracked assets is determined on the site plan. Knowing where resources are located shortens the search time for missing or misplaced resources.
Knowledge of the flow of resources within the plant allows you to improve process planning and inventory monitoring.
Assets can also be monitored indirectly in real time by tracking the position of the crane hook. Thanks to Sewio RTLS, you can eliminate paper Kanban cards in favor of their digital version. Need more information? Visit www.systemrtls.pl
Forklift tracking
RTLS system for tracking trucks (or other vehicles, e.g. AGV) supports fleet management. The tracked vehicle must be equipped with a tag that transmits the signal to the receivers. The receivers, in turn, send a signal to the RTLS server and calculate the position of the vehicle in real time with an accuracy of 30 cm. The tags are powered from the truck’s battery or from its own battery.
Benefits of forklift tracking:
- preventing incorrect unloading,
- optimization of forklift routes,
- monitoring the flow of goods,
- reducing the number of accidents.
Real-time tracking of forklifts or other vehicles (e.g. AVG robots) affects the efficiency, cost-effectiveness and safety of processes.

They trusted us
“Many bidders applied for the implementation. However, the scope of the solution proposed by IBCS Poland, as well as additional elements related to network monitoring and management as part of these functionalities, determined the choice of this solution – explains Zbigniew Koplin from the District Dairy Cooperative in Piątnica.”
“It is worth emphasizing that the efficiency of the warehouse increased above the assumed value. This contributed to real financial savings. We are fully satisfied with the implementation and its effects as well as cooperation with IBCS Poland.”
“As intended, work ergonomics have improved, the number of errors has decreased, and warehouse processes have been optimised. The pick-by-voice technology has also contributed to speeding up the collection and dispensing stages, as well as increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of picking.”
“The system is centralized and easy to manage from one place. It generates not only savings of funds, but also time savings – previously, manual printing was performed by employees and operators of all workstations. (…) The universal architecture significantly reduced downtime, facilitated service work and additionally largely eliminated human errors.”
