RTLS can be used numerous logistical or operational areas such as:
- locating assets within a facility, such as finding a misplaced tool cart in a warehouse
- notification of new locations, such as an alert if a tool cart improperly has left the facility
- to combine identity of multiple items placed in a single location, such as on a pallet
- to maintain proper staffing levels of operational areas, such as ensuring guards are in the proper locations in a correctional facility
- to quickly and automatically account for all staff after or during an emergency evacuation
- to automatically track and time stamp the progress of people or assets through a process, such as following a patient's emergency room wait time, time spent in the operating room, and total time until discharge. Such a system can be used for process improvement.
