Seamless locating on the entire company premises Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) Real-Time Asset Management Locating Information Locating Manager Ethernet Localization Signals SIMATIC RTLS (Real-Time Locating System) is a key component in the digital infrastructure for the factory of the future. For intelligent systems like mobile robots, automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and state-of-the-art automation software to be able to focus and respond autonomously, they need to know at any time what’s where, and when. The SIMATIC RTLS locating platform...

Locating accuracy down to centimeters SIMATIC RTLS draws on the benefits of ultra-wideband technology (UWB). For local wireless communication an extremely wide frequency range (3 – 7 GHz) with a bandwidth of at least 500 MHz is used to transmit weak wireless signals. This prevents the risk of interference with other systems. The result is extremely precise object location with accuracy down to ten centimeters. Easy installation SIMATIC RTLS is extremely easy to install, and capable of adapting in stages to increasing demands. Extra units can be added to the individual components at any time...

Gateways Gateways are fix reference points in the local infrastructure for real-time locating with an accuracy measured in centimeters. They record the transponder signals and give them a fixed position stamp. The positioning data is bundled and transmitted to the locating server. Transponders Transponders are fitted to workpieces, robots, vehicles, etc. and transmit a wireless signal at defined intervals. They can also be equipped with data interfaces, and transmit location details directly to the local control system or make them accessible for higher-level systems. Locating Manager The...
