Product: Real-time location system K-RTLS from Kathrein Solutions

K-RTLS

Process Automation with Precise Real-Time Location

The new real-time location system K-RTLS combines high localization accuracy in an industrial environment with unique technical features. The system consists of mobile transponders, permanently installed nodes and the CrossTalk IoT suite.

The real-time data about the location and status of the objects available with the RTLS form the basis for networking the parties involved and the logistics processes in their value-added chain.

Vehicles, forklifts, load carriers – if you have a precise view of mobile objects in real time, you increase business process transparency and save costs and time. K-RTLS from Kathrein Solutions presents itself with innovative features.

Tire Tracking and Management with RFID

Speaker: Stefano Baroni, Senior Sales & Partner Manager, Kathrein Solutions Title: RFID in Tires: Enabling Technology for the Entire Lifecycle, From Production to Recycle Management Content: RFID enables the precise identification of every tire throughout its entire lifecycle, from production to recycling. Data obtained by RFID technology is used by automotive manufacturers, tire manufacturers, and dealers in order to optimize tire lifecycle management. Stefano Baroni from Kathrein Solutions explains how car manufacturers and OEMs are tagging and managing tires with RFID. In the lecture “RFID in Tires: Enabling Technology for the Entire Lifecycle, From Production to Recycle Management“, the expert will introduce the latest use cases and explain how tagged tires can help with digitalization and big data.
