LocaTOR™ is a market-leading wire-free RTLS that we market and supply. Wire-free means that there is no need for power or communications cabling, so our RTLS solutions are deployed quickly & easily, with minimum disruption to businesses.
WHAT WE DO
Locasys specialises in defining and supplying Real Time Location Systems (“RTLS”).
So that we can be the very best at what we do we focus on developing our core LocaTOR™ RTLS . LocaTOR™ provides the enabling RTLS infrastructure for all our solutions. LocaTOR™’s core functionality is pinpointing the precise location (room or area) of personnel or assets.
The patented ultrasonic RTLS systems and RFID products we market and supply communicate wirelessly with our application software, providing real time locational intelligence information.
All data can be stored, retrieved, reviewed and exported, as required. Our family of Smart Device Apps provide real time information, status reports and push notifications to site personnel.
Our strategy is simple:
- Market and supply LocaTOR™ auto identification systems that accurately locate site personnel, visitors and portable asset in real time when they are close to or inside buildings;
- Grow our installed base by deployments via our expanding Accredited Installation Partnerships;
The RFID technology we supply is already deployed in a variety of market sectors in the UK and Internationally by our eco-system of value-added channel partners who provide the customer relationship, installation, commissioning and post sales services.
The healthcare, industrial manufacturing, government and defence, process industries, as well as transportation and logistics sectors, have an increasing appetite and need to deploy RTLS applications to solve problems of location of staff, contractors, site visitors and other assets in everyday operations and in emergencies.
This increasing appetite is fuelling significant growth in RTLS based solutions. The Locasys eco-system is well positioned to support the real time location management needs of customers in all market sectors.
WHY WE DO IT
According to Marketsandmarkets’ “Indoor Location Market – Global Forecast to 2019” the “indoor location market in Europe is expected to see a greater traction by the end of the forecast period due to the demand from retail, healthcare, and tourism and hospitality sectors”.
Marketsandmarkets, is also forecasting that the global RTLS market is expected to grow, between now and 2020, by an estimated CAGR exceeding 30%.
At Locasys we believe that the analysts’ forecasts are viable, and the ability of today’s RTLS technology, to push information to, and pull information from, smart devices is contributing to the market growth in the UK and Europe. We envision a wider deployed base to that predicted by the analysts.
Our LocaTOR™ system primarily concerns locating people and things, precisely and securely, using proprietary RFID and Ultrasound technologies, and applying business logic to the generated information.
The same core RTLS architecture covers all deployment types and solutions, and this feature provides the base for future technological developments. LocaTOR™ offers 3D positioning, including orientation and line of travel.
LocaTOR™ also extends to the smart Bring Your Own Device (BYOD). Our smart device Apps are increasing the business efficiency benefits to management and employees, who can now be provided with information about the location of equipment, assets, tools and colleagues in real time.
The benefits of location monitoring and auto identification at the enterprise level will continue to grow as integration of analytical software tools; maps and navigation applications enhance the RTLS capabilities.
We believe that the continually increasing expectations of all businesses, the insatiable need to control infrastructure costs, and the ease of use of real time social connectivity are playing a vital role in shaping the future of the indoor real time location market.
RTLS will continue to be an enabler that fulfils the needs in global vertical markets that include Academia & Education, BFSI, Construction, Distribution and Logistics, Facilities Management, Government, Public Safety and Urban Security, Healthcare, Media and Advertising, Manufacturing, Mining Oil and Gas production, Pharmaceuticals, Retail and Tourism and Hospitality.
