RTLS - Real-Time Location Tracking
RTLS enables precise tracking and identification of objects – such as employees, components, and transport systems (e.g., tugger trains, forklifts) – within production halls, warehouses, or logistics centers.

Data-Driven Insights
Location data collected in real time is analyzed by our consultants and analysts to support fact-based decisions in production, logistics, and warehouse operations.
This approach enables strategic improvements based on hard data – leading to cost savings, higher efficiency, and reduced waste.
Measurement Process
Measurements are conducted over a defined period and cover selected objects involved in the studied process.
The final deliverable is a report containing analyzed data and recommendations to increase process stability, reduce losses, and lower operational costs.

RTLS (Real-Time Location System)
RTLS (Real-Time Location System) is a technology that revolutionizes the way resources are managed in modern manufacturing plants and warehouses.
It enables real-time monitoring and measurement of processes. You can track the location of tools, vehicles, containers, components, and even employees -eliminating losses caused by searching for resources or inefficient space organization.
At LUQAM, we implement an RTLS system designed for industrial environments – scalable and tailored to the realities of your production.
What is RTLS and what are its capabilities?
RTLS (Real-Time Location System) enables continuous tracking of objects and people within a manufacturing plant or warehouse. The RTLS system is based on a network of sensors, receivers, and tags attached to tracked items, allowing for location analysis, process measurement, and data transfer to a central platform. As a result, production, logistics, and maintenance managers gain access to precise real-time data on resource movement. Real-time location systems can analyze transport routes, identify inefficiencies, detect bottlenecks, and optimize workspace utilization.
Importantly, the RTLS system is fully scalable. It allows for monitoring and process measurement in selected areas or for specific types of resources, with the option to expand to additional lines, departments, or buildings. Through integration with MES, WMS, or ERP systems, location data can be linked to specific production orders, material batches, or schedules. Such operational transformations significantly increase transparency and data accuracy across the entire supply chain.
Why implement an RTLS system?
Real-Time Location Systems deliver measurable operational and financial benefits. Companies using this technology can locate resources faster, eliminate losses, and reduce the number of unplanned downtimes. The risk of human error decreases, and safety levels increase, as the system enables automatic monitoring of vehicle movements. Additional benefits include:
- full visibility of resource flow in real time,
- reduced time spent searching for tools, materials, and vehicles,
- automatic tracking of production orders and batches,
- identification of bottlenecks and inefficient transport routes,
- improved utilization of production and warehouse space,
- integration with MES/WMS/ERP systems for automated reporting and planning.
Process measurement and location analysis lead to shorter production cycles, lower operating costs, and higher planning accuracy – strengthening the company’s market position and its resilience to changes in the business environment.
Why implement process monitoring and measurement with LUQAM?
At LUQAM, we combine expertise in operational management with hands-on experience in implementing digital solutions for the manufacturing industry.
Every RTLS implementation begins with a detailed process audit and flow analysis to design a system precisely tailored to your organization. The proposed solutions are scalable, flexible, and intuitive, allowing you to achieve quick results without costly or time-consuming reengineering.
We ensure that RTLS supports – rather than disrupts – your existing processes. Our implementation approach is smooth and secure, so the system delivers real operational benefits from day one.
How RTLS Supports Production Process Optimization
RTLS insights support targeted improvement initiatives.
Use cases include:
production flow optimization to reduce lead time,
operator workload analysis, considering both operational and transport activities,
monitoring downtime due to missing inputs or uncollected outputs,
cycle time standardization,
identifying layout improvements or potential for supermarket implementations.
