67% of RTLS and Digital Twin projects fail to meet their objectives.
After more than 15 years and 100+ deployments, we have seen exactly why these projects fall short, and the reason is rarely what teams expect.
What Experience Taught Us
We once believed advanced specs guaranteed success. We focused heavily on achieving 10 cm accuracy and fast refresh rates, assuming they were the ultimate drivers of RTLS performance. But they didn’t. Projects only worked when clear business objectives guided them.
Complex systems often fail while simpler, well-aligned ones deliver ROI.
That lesson now shaped how we approach every RTLS and Digital Twin project.
The 5 Real Reasons RTLS Projects Fail
After reviewing deployments across manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, and construction, we found five issues consistently derail RTLS and Digital Twin projects:
5% Poor ROI Definition: Projects succeed when clear KPIs guide the work.
28% Wrong Technology Selection: Choosing the right RTLS technology for the environment is critical.
22% Integration Failures: Systems only create value when they connect to core workflows.
10% Poor User Adoption: User understanding and trust determine whether the system is actually useful.
5% Inadequate Support: Regular tuning keeps RTLS systems accurate as facilities evolve.
Why Technology Alone Does Not Deliver RTLS ROI
Many RTLS projects fail because teams focus on the technology instead of the outcome. No single solution like UWB, BLE, or WiFi delivers ROI on its own. Success begins with defining the business result first and then choosing the technology that fits the environment and operational goals. Without that alignment, even advanced systems struggle.
Real ROI comes from using real-time location data to streamline workflows, automate actions, and remove operational bottlenecks. Projects succeed when objectives are clear, integrations work, users trust the system, and performance is continuously optimized. Without these fundamentals, RTLS deployments rarely deliver meaningful returns.

After deploying RTLS in over 30+ hospitals, we noticed a pattern. Most projects stop at simply tracking infusion pumps and fail to deliver real ROI. Here's why.
The Chokepoint:
Healthcare RTLS became dominated by BLE providers because of easy deployment, low cost, and acceptable reliability for non-mission-critical applications. But this very advantage became the limitation. BLE reliability wasn't good enough for planning and optimization. Hospitals could see where equipment was, but the data wasn't reliable enough to optimize OR schedules or reduce ER wait times.
The Breakthrough:
With advanced BLE RTLS (better algorithms, denser anchor networks) and Digital Twin integration, hospitals are finally going beyond tracking. The successful projects we've deployed in the last 3 years combine real-time location data with operational workflows to change how hospitals operate.
The Insight:
The difference between a $500K "infusion pump tracker" and a $500K "OR efficiency optimizer" isn't the technology, it's the data quality and the Location Intelligence framework. Early BLE systems were deployed for ease and cost, not for data quality. Modern BLE with Digital Twin integration can finally deliver the reliability needed to drive operational decisions. That's the difference between tracking (where is it?) and intelligence (how do we improve?).

Tagless pallet tracking sounds too good to be true. No tags to manage, no batteries to replace, just computer vision and AI. After deploying it in more than 15 facilities, we've learned that it works brilliantly in some environments but fails completely in others.
Where it works:
● Automotive manufacturing: Standardized pallets, controlled lighting, dedicated lanes. We've seen 95%+ accuracy with SLAM-based tracking.
● Food & beverage distribution: High-volume, repetitive movements, consistent pallet types. Computer vision excels here.
Where it fails:
● Mixed-SKU distribution centers: Mixed-SKU distribution centers: Variable pallet sizes, inconsistent stacking, chaotic put away. Accuracy drops to 60-70%.
● Outdoor yards: Weather, lighting changes, and mud/dirt on pallets confuse vision systems.
The Insight:
Tagless tracking isn't a technology problem, it's an operational discipline problem. Facilities with standardized processes see amazing results. Facilities with high variability struggles. We've deployed tagless tracking in automotive plants where it delivers 95% accuracy at half the cost of tags, and tag-based tracking in mixed-SKU DCs where tagless would fail. The best solution depends on your operational reality, not the latest technology trend.

You'll Have the Fastest RTLS ROI If Today…
- Your team spends hours searching for tools, equipment, or inventory because the system says it’s there, but no one knows where to find it.
- Decisions are made using outdated reports instead of real-time data, forcing teams to react to problems instead of preventing them.
- Manual scanning, signoffs, and data collection slow down operations that should be running automatically.
- Compliance audits are a nightmare because gathering the data takes longer than the audit itself
- People avoid proposing improvements because proving ROI requires weeks of manual data collection that nobody has time for
If any of this resonates, RTLS Digital Twins can transform your operations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about RTLS and Digital Twins
Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) use various technologies (UWB, BLE, WiFi, SLAM) to track the real-time location of assets, people, and equipment. Tags attached to items communicate with anchors/sensors to determine precise positions, which are then visualized in software platforms.
Accuracy varies by technology: BLE/WiFi provides 1-5m accuracy, UWB offers 10-30cm precision, and ultrasound-based systems achieve sub-centimeter accuracy. We help you select the right technology based on your accuracy requirements and budget.
Timeline depends on facility size and complexity. A typical deployment ranges from 4-12 weeks after the pilot phase. Our cable-free solutions can be deployed in days, while traditional wired systems may take longer.
Most customers achieve ROI within 8-18 months through reduced search time, improved asset utilization, decreased rental costs, and enhanced operational efficiency. We provide detailed ROI analysis during the consultation phase.
No. LocaXion RTLS solutions integrate with your existing ERP, MES, WMS, EMR, and other enterprise systems. We're technology-agnostic and focus on seamless integration rather than replacement.
