Founded on the Expertise of 100+ RTLS Projects Since 2008
RTLS & Digital Twins
in
Healthcare
We design vendor-agnostic healthcare RTLS solutions that go
beyond tracking wheelchairs to deliver measurable ROI through
location intelligence.
The LocaXion Multi-Tech Advantage
Intelligently combining UWB, BLE, Vision, WiFi, and RFID based on your specific
outcomes, not our preferences.
Why vendor agnostic matters: track crash carts with UWB precision (30 cm accuracy), monitor IV pumps with BLE efficiency (2-year battery life), and manage transport equipment with WiFi infrastructure, all in a single unified platform.
This hybrid approach delivers 30-40% better ROI than single-technology solutions because you're not forcing every use case into the same technology box. You're selecting the optimal technology for each specific outcome.
Core Applications
We provide a full range of healthcare RTLS solutions designed
to improve visibility, safety, and patient care.
Track and find is just the start. See how RTLS and Digital Twin technology work together to locate assets,
analyze data, and optimize your operations.
Knowing a wheelchair's location is useful. Knowing it traveled 2.3 miles empty yesterday is actionable. Knowing your equipment distribution causes 40% unnecessary travel is transformative.
The CORE APPLICATIONS above give you visibility. The ADVANCED APPLICATIONS below give you intelligence by measuring performance, identifying constraints, predicting problems, and automating optimization.
This is where 15 years of healthcare domain expertise set us apart from hardware vendors selling trackers. We do not just deploy sensors but architect digital ecosystems that combine RTLS data with EHR, nurse call, and CMMS systems to create a living operational model of your facility.
