On-Demand Visibility for Personnel Safety and 24 hour Asset Security

The key to effective asset tracking and supply chain management is having real-time visibility. ROI (Return on Investment) may be less than one year.

REAL-TIME LOCATING PROVIDES ASSET VISIBILITY
Problem Addressed	Benefits
What are the assets within the monitoring area? (“Who-What”)	Real-time inventory Visibility of assets Better supply chain management and cost savings
Where are the assets? (“Where”)	Facilitate asset utilization
What are the conditions or events that happened to each asset? (“What-When”)	Visibility of utilization of assets Visibility of the assets’ movement and utilization Facilitate servicing and maintenance

Real-time visibility can dramatically enhance supply chain security and may help to save most of the current 6-10% loss encountered by the industry. For most supply chain management applications, real-time visibility to the last control access point or choke point may be adequate. Passive barcode or passive RFID tags, at lower price per tag or label, are cost effective solutions.

Real-Time Locating System Cost-Performance Comparative Analysis
	AVANTERTLS (433 MHz)	WiFi (2.45 GHz)	UWB (6-8 GHz)	Time-Lapsed Method (2.45 GHz)
Technology	Received signal strength with dynamic zoning Not dependent on line-of-sight	Received signal strength	Time Difference of Arrival Need line-of-sight for accuracy	Time Difference of Arrival Need line-of-sight for accuracy
Visibility in Time	1 Second	>10 Seconds	>5 Seconds	>10 Seconds
Visibility in Environment	Same for Indoor and Outdoor Independent on humidity	Same for Indoor and Outdoor Some dependent on humidity	Mostly Outdoor Indoor needs line-of-sight May be difficult on rainy days	Mostly Outdoor Indoor needs line-of-sight Some dependent on humidity
Accuracy for Assets	3-6 ft	10-20 ft Some systems claim 4-10 ft	0.5-10 ft Depends on line-of-sight	5-10 ft Depends on line-of-sight

Other Comments: Implementation labor costs should be similar based on same needs for “calibration” Software costs should be comparable and is not included in this comparison Contrary to most assertions, system costs are directly proportional to the costs of tags.
