Sensors, Vol. 20, Pages 6766: Real-Time Locating System in Production Management Sensors doi: 10.3390/s20236766 Authors: András Rácz-Szabó Tamás Ruppert László Bántay Andreas Löcklin László Jakab János Abonyi Real-time monitoring and optimization of production and logistics processes significantly improve the efficiency of production systems. Advanced production management solutions require real-time information about the status of products, production, and resources. As real-time locating systems (also referred to as indoor positioning systems) can enrich the available information, these systems started to gain attention in industrial environments in recent years. This paper provides a review of the possible technologies and applications related to production control and logistics, quality management, safety, and efficiency monitoring. This work also provides a workflow to clarify the steps of a typical real-time locating system project, including the cleaning, pre-processing, and analysis of the data to provide a guideline and reference for research and development of indoor positioning-based manufacturing solutions.
