Real-time Location Systems Improve Asset Utilization and Help Optimize Manufacturing Processes According to ARC Advisory Group

Recent ARC Advisory Group market research on real-time location systems (RTLS) reveals that a growing need for accurate, reliable, real-time asset tracking in industrial environments is driving double-digit growth in this relatively young market. Industry trends such as increased automation, digitalization, Industry 4.0, and the Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) further exacerbate this need.

“While many users are finding that their current location tracking solutions aren’t quite up to today’s challenges and use cases, increasing competition in the marketplace drives suppliers to offer innovative new real-time location tracking solutions.  These includes platforms that both insulate users from technology change and allow them to better manage a mix of technologies,” according to Naresh K. Surepelly, Senior Analyst at ARC Advisory Group and key author of ARC’s Real-time Location Systems Global Market Research report.

End users are utilizing previously stranded asset data from new tags built with low-cost and internet-connected sensors mounted directly on mobile equipment and machines. In conjunction, advanced analytics software can help detect, identify, and avoid performance degradation or asset failures.  The ARC research indicates that users employing this technology realize improved asset utilization and availability, improved safety, reduced MRO spend, improved return on assets, and improved operational performance.
