The web-based software analyzes and visualizes dynamic data, processes events, and can be controlled from local ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) or MES (Manufacturing Execution System) systems. The intelligence acquired from location data provides the user with a comprehensive overview of material flow, order information, and potential problem areas.  
The transponder ID is linked to existing order data. Depending on the process step and order status, order information can be displayed on Simatic RTLS ePaper transponders, providing a paperless solution. Location Intelligence also allows users to track individual parts or the entire order in real time. When the order ID is entered, the real-time positions of the linked transponders are displayed graphically and digitally to the customer.  
The transparency achieved by this technology enables individual optimization of production and logistics processes. The key to this lies in virtually defined areas known as geofences. Geofences can be created in the software using drag and drop and are used to detect entry and exit from defined areas. The associated entry and exit events can be statistically analyzed, visualized, or linked to further actions.  
Furthermore, combining location and business information leads to transparent processes: searches are minimized because the positions of all relevant objects in different locations are displayed in real time. Bottlenecks or deviations from the production plan can be easily avoided using geofences. At the same time, these real-time analyses can identify previously untapped optimization potential within the factory and facilitate rapid decision-making.
