OPTIMIZE
The iWAREHOUSE Real-Time Location System (iW.RTLS) lets you restrict and control the movements of lift trucks, and locate personnel and assets in your facility with +/- 3 feet accuracy – based on an object’s relative position to the anchors – through geofencing, zoning, and tracking capabilities.

ASSET TRACKING
By providing zones, speed control, and stop functions, iW.RTLS enhances the security efforts of your facility and reinforces operator training – keeping your trucks in the right place at all times and minimizing vehicle/pedestrian interaction.The flexibility and scalability of the system lets you create zones tailored to your unique layout and application – such as keep-in and keep-out and slow and stop zones, and assists in proper equipment utilization. Within certain zone configurations, the system will recognize violations and alert operators if they drive their truck into or out of a specified area and trucks can be programmed to slow down or come to a controlled stop when specific zone violations occur.

Return to Capabilities
iW.RTLS allows you to track, locate, and monitor your equipment by showing where your trucks are at all times, where they have been, and how they have been utilized. It also helps identify misplaced assets by knowing which employee or truck last handled them.
FORKLIFT, PEDESTRIAN AND ASSET TRACKING
BENEFITS OF FORKLIFT TRACKING
+ Faster throughput + Better use of equipment and space + Minimized unproductive hours + Impact management
+ Lower lost inventory costs + Reduced need for safety stock + Faster and more accurate deliveries
Identify areas of congestion, improve travel paths, and adjust your facility layout for:
Reduce lost inventory and downtime spent searching for assets for:
BENEFITS OF ASSET TRACKING
iW.RTLS ZONING Options and Use Cases
Keeping trucks within or outside of facility designated areas of use Height-restricted areas Freezers Very narrow aisles Keep pedestrians in walkway
IDEAL USES
* For pedestrian badges, it will also trigger an alarm and message on the badge.
ALERT TYPE
The truck will decelerate to a stop using a predetermined rate. Travel speed will be limited to 1 mph until the zone is cleared.

Designed specifically for material handling environments, iW.RTLS helps you manage the movements of your fleet, personnel, and assets with an integrated network of fixed and mobile components.
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE:
ANCHORS are fixed invarious locations around the facility to establish the reference framework and allow the system to track tags.
TAGS/BADGES are attached to personnel, trucks, and assets and calculate their precise location based on their relative position to the anchors.
BRIDGES are anchors that send data from the system to a server for processing, analysis, and storage.
SECURE NETWORK No sensitive data is sent over the UWB, position coordinates only.
iW.RTLS is available as part of the iWAREHOUSE® Intelligent Warehouse Solutions suite, the industry’s most comprehensive and scalable telematics solution.
iW.RTLS is designed to address industry pressures within multiple areas of a site. A Site Survey is required. The Site Survey assists in creating an accurate Site Plan prior to an on-site audit, ensuring the iW.RTLS team of experts address your needs, every time. Following the completion of a Site Survey, an on-site validation would need to be performed by a trained professional from the iW.RTLS Application Engineering team. iWAREHOUSE® Telematics and Server Version 2.1.10 or higher.
