Within the field of producing specific high value objects (vehicles), production lines are enriched by the possibility of tracking, in real- time, the objects being assembled (and even their associated components) within the chain itself.
Positioning information can be made available to MRP (Manufacturing Resource Planning) systems automatically and in real-time (therefore replacing the current data input processes based on manual, error-prone operations) for an optimization of Production Control.
The adoption of RTLS systems guarantees control of industrial production processes along the entire value chain, with the possibility of precisely assigning products (or subparts) being built/assembled directly to the relevant cost centres.
Furthermore, within the limits of current privacy legislation, employees on the production line can be equipped with a terminal or a ruggedised tag to identify their location, in order to provide statistical data so as to calculate costs of production and time required for assembly in each stage of the production line.
