Industrial RTLS projects fail when teams compare technologies by “accuracy” alone. The real question is where each technology stops being reliable for your required operational events (zone entry/exit, proximity risk, dispatch timing, route compliance).<br /> <br /> Use UWB for deterministic indoor events and safety-critical proximity; use GPS RTK for outdoor yards and wide-area coverage; use BLE when your requirement is zone/presence visibility and ultra-low tag power. The best deployments draw a clear technology boundary and define testable acceptance criteria per boundary.

RTLS (Real-Time Location System) should be defined by the operational outcomes you need—not by the sensor technology.<br /> In industrial sites, the real value is converting location into rule-based events (e.g., unauthorized entry, dwell time, near-miss risk)<br /> and then linking those events to alarms, video, and reporting.<br /> <br /> A practical RTLS design starts by choosing the output level you truly need (presence / 1D / 2D/3D), then selecting the right architecture<br /> (wired UWB, UWB over cellular, wiring-free UWB, or hybrid UWB + GNSS/BeiDou RTK) to match constraints such as wiring, public-network access,<br /> hazardous areas, and indoor–outdoor continuity.
