TechNation Roundtable: Real-Time Locating Systems BLOG TechNation Roundtable: Real-Time Locating Systems CenTrak asset tag shown on IV pump. Photo credit: Tech Nation Dr. Israel Amir, CenTrak's Chief Technology Officer, was recently featured by TechNation as a real-time locating systems expert, among other vendors and end-users. The discussion centered on real-time locating systems, discussing the opportunities of RTLS and what that means for the future of healthcare. "Making the right RTLS investment will pay for itself in most cases in a matter of months. Often, having the ability to leverage the existing Wi-Fi infrastructure can be a benefit. The combination of Wi-Fi locating with Gen2IR and Low Frequency RF provides the framework required for advanced asset management use cases such as PAR-level management, improved asset utilization and reduction of shrinkage. For more demanding applications requiring accurate and high-speed locating (clinical-grade), dedicated networks with Gen2IR will provide the needed solution."
