RTLS Asset Tracking

EmbedX RTLS shows where tagged people and assets are inside a building. Choose Bluetooth Low Energy when you need a live map. Choose RFID when you need certain identification at a door, dock, or bench — and room-level find for the smaller set of assets that move between those points.

System 01

BLE real-time location

Battery tags and badges advertise a unique identifier on a short interval. Gateways — or Wi-Fi access points that already include a BLE radio — hear those signals and send identity, signal strength, and time to the EmbedX location server. The server keeps a live map, zone counts, search, and alerts.

Accuracy

Room or zone for most find, flow, and safety workflows.
X,Y position when a shelf, bay, or corner must be named.
Bluetooth 5.1 Angle of Arrival for sub-meter work where anchor density supports it.
Location refresh every few seconds. Tags run for years at room-level rates.

Where it fits

Hospitals: pumps, wheelchairs, patients, staff, and duress.
Factories: worker and machine paths, and high-mix station tracking.
Offices and campuses: badges, visitors, and emergency mustering.

BLE hardware

EmbedX BLE gateway — **BLE gateway** PoE Ethernet gateway that forwards tag reports to the location server.

EmbedX Ceiling sensor — **Ceiling sensor** Low-profile room anchor for zone and coordinate coverage.

EmbedX Wall anchor — **Wall anchor** Wall-mounted beacon that defines a room or area.

System 02

RFID real-time location

Passive UHF tags have no battery. A fixed reader records the item when it passes a dock, door, cage, or bench, including bulk reads of many tags in one pass. Active RFID tags carry a cell and transmit on a short interval so readers can place them in a room. Shelf coordinates stay on the BLE system.

How the two modes split

Passive EPC Gen2 / ISO 18000-63 for item identity at a checkpoint.
Active RFID for “which room is it in right now?” between checkpoints.
Handhelds cover audit and search where a fixed reader does not.
The location server logs crossings, last zone, dwell, and missed reads.

Where it fits

Inbound and outbound portals, and warehouse zone checks.
Manufacturing station checkpoints for serialized work.
Tool cribs, IT assets, linen, and supply cabinets.

RFID hardware

EmbedX Passive UHF label — **Passive UHF label** Battery-free EPC Gen2 tag for cartons, linen, tools, and serialized stock.

EmbedX Active RFID tag — **Active RFID tag** Battery tag that reports which room a mobile asset is in.

EmbedX Portal reader — **Portal reader** Fixed reader for dock, door, and cage crossings, with Ethernet uplink.

Plan a floor around the question you need answered.

Room-level BLE, a coordinate on selected floors, or RFID at the doors that must be certain. Tell us the building and we will size tags, readers, and the location server.
