Tech Talk: With Ronald Pulvermacher

Real Time Location Sound Recording

Does your company spend hours looking for things?  Could your organization be more productive if it knew where everything is?  New technology allows this wish to be a reality.  Real time location systems are becoming extremely popular as businesses discover the usefulness and make the financial justification of knowing where people and equipment are at all times.

Most of these systems use return signal strength to triangulate where the person or item is located. Some of these systems include Zigbee, WiFi, and ISM Band.  A software system tracks all of the information wirelessly and easily, such as one developed by Matrix Product Development.

Other systems for determining distance include time of flight systems (such as CSM), Ultra-wide Band systems (which can only transmit their ID but use very little power) and ultrasonics which use a system of sound transmitters and readers to determine location.  When the cost of the personnel time saved greatly outweighs the cost of the electronics, companies can easily increase their staff productivity and profitability in a short amount of time.  Contact Matrix Product Development today to learn how your organization can improve profitability and productivity.
