RTLS & Digital Twins
in
Manufacturing
LocaXion delivers vendor-agnostic RTLS Solutions for Manufacturing
that connect assets, people, and processes in real time.
The LocaXion Multi-Tech Advantage
Integrating UWB, BLE, Vision, WiFi, and RFID to deliver the right technology
mix for every manufacturing workflow.
Why vendor-agnostic matters in manufacturing: RTLS for Manufacturing transforms productivity and visibility across production floors by unifying UWB, BLE, Vision, WiFi, and RFID within a single system. Each technology operates where it delivers the highest value, from real-time machine tracking and automated material movement to workforce efficiency and quality control, helping manufacturers reduce downtime and improve asset utilization.
This multi-tech approach drives measurable returns, typically 35 to 50 percent higher ROI than single-technology systems. By combining precise UWB accuracy for equipment, long-lasting BLE tracking for workforce safety, Vision-based insights for faster inspections, and RFID for seamless material flow, manufacturers gain faster throughput, lower operating costs, and data-driven decision-making that keeps production continuous and efficient.

Frequently Asked Questions
Learn how RTLS for Manufacturing solutions enhance visibility, efficiency, and ROI.
RTLS for manufacturing uses a network of location tags, sensors, and anchors to track assets, equipment, and workers in real time. The collected data is processed through analytics to optimize production workflows, reduce downtime, and improve safety and efficiency across the factory floor.
The future of digital twin in manufacturing lies in its ability to combine AI, IoT, and real-time data for intelligent automation. As factories adopt smarter technologies, digital twins will enable predictive insights, autonomous operations, and continuous process improvement across industrial ecosystems.
A digital twin of a factory is created by mapping every physical process, machine, and asset into a virtual model that mirrors real-world operations. This involves collecting data from IoT sensors, control systems, and production equipment, then integrating it into simulation software. The result is a live digital environment where manufacturers can visualize workflows, test improvements, and make data-driven decisions without disrupting actual production.
RTLS systems in manufacturing commonly use Ultra-Wideband (UWB), Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and RFID technologies to deliver precise real-time tracking. When integrated with a Digital Twin platform, these technologies provide live visibility into asset movement, process efficiency, and safety across the factory floor.
Yes. Digital twin driven smart manufacturing helps accelerate production by simulating and optimizing workflows virtually before applying changes on the factory floor. This reduces setup times, minimizes downtime, and supports faster decision-making across all stages of manufacturing.
IoT manufacturing uses connected sensors, machines, and systems to collect and analyze operational data in real time. When integrated with RTLS for manufacturing, it enables complete visibility, predictive insights, and automated control that drive safer and more efficient production environments.
