Lean & process-flow optimisation.
Turn real movement into spaghetti diagrams, dwell maps and OEE so you fix the constraint that actually limits throughput — lean improvement evidenced by data, not opinion.
Lean & process-flow optimisation: how it works, and what it pays back.
The right radio for the job — chosen, never sold — mapped to your use case. That is what makes the ROI fast.
1 · Measure
Carriers and people are tracked across the value stream for true cycle and dwell times.
2 · Analyse
Bottlenecks, waiting and over-processing surface against takt — the seven wastes, quantified.
3 · Improve
Re-balance the line, trigger andon, and prove the OEE gain after each change.
UWB → station dwell · analytics → OEE & value-stream
Which technology actually fits.
We have no hardware to sell, so the recommendation serves your outcome — not a price book.
UWB
Station-level flow precision.
Analytics
Spaghetti, dwell & OEE.
Andon
Location-correct escalation.
Industries this solution suits
The constraint, in data not opinion.
A manufacturer tracks carriers across the value stream for true cycle and dwell times. Waiting and over-processing surface against takt, the line is re-balanced, and the OEE gain is proven after each change.
Typically bought by: Lean / CI leaders, IE engineers, plant managers, COO.

Frequently asked questions
How does RTLS support lean and process improvement?
It turns assumptions into data - actual cycle times, dwell, travel distance, WIP queues and bottlenecks - so your lean team improves on measured reality and proves the gain afterwards.
Is this a one-off study or continuous?
Both. Use it as an instrumented time-and-motion study, then leave it running to sustain gains and catch drift - far cheaper than repeated manual observation.
What accuracy do we need?
Zone-level is enough for most flow analysis; precise UWB where you study tight workstation movement. We right-size it to the question.
How does it integrate with MES or ERP?
Flow and timing data combine with MES and ERP context so improvements connect to OEE, throughput and cost metrics leadership already tracks.
What outcomes are typical?
Shorter lead times, less WIP and travel, balanced lines, and an evidence base that makes continuous-improvement decisions faster and less contentious.
