RFID-Enabled RTLS Solution

Ekahau, Reston, Va, in conjunction with Nordic ID, has developed a solution for adding location information to passive RFID and bar code labels. The Ekahau-Nordic ID solution can track low-cost assets like surgical implements, drug supplies, and other inventory. Ekahau’s real-time locating system (RTLS) technology enables users to track any assets in real time throughout a hospital campus using active Wi-Fi tags.

Working with Nordic ID, Ekahau’s RTLS has the capability of tracking passive RFID and bar code labels, as well as managing, storing, and viewing assets and their respective location history in the same database. The combined Ekahau-Nordic ID solution consists of Ekahau RTLS software and Nordic ID handheld RFID and bar code scanners. The scanner’s location is determined via RTLS and then associated with RFID/bar code information on the asset scanned. Users can view and manage the location and asset information with the Ekahau Vision business logic and analytics software, which lets users see asset locations on a real-time map, generate asset reports and audit trails, and alert users if any items are low or in the wrong location.
