Tagged objects can be located at any time.
How do I quickly find a patient transport chair that has been taken off to another department? How do I help visitors avoid roaming about in the hospital? How can I assign data from different sources to time and space and link them together?
The key to answering these and many other questions is real-time localization using RTLS technology. It is already in extensive use in industry and has now been introduced to the radiology institute of University Hospital Erlangen, Germany, as part of a pilot project.
Indoor tracking
RTLS technologies can provide information about where items and patients are located, helping to speed up and improve processes. In this way, providers can improve the quality of healthcare and increase efficiency – to an extent that has not been possible before.

Easy localization
We were very excited about the project from the outset because we are familiar with the annoying situation in which we have to search for something.
