smaRTLS® is CreateASoft's real-time location connectivity layer for Digital Twin Studio® Live. It connects location and tracking devices, filters redundant reads, normalizes incoming location data and delivers a coherent real-time stream into the Digital Twin.
Use active RFID, passive RFID, barcode, GPS, NFC and other location technologies together— without forcing every tracking device to behave the same way.
Tracking devices produce events. Digital Twin Studio® Live needs reliable operational state. smaRTLS® sits between the two.
The platform receives raw location signals from one or more tracking technologies, removes redundant or conflicting reads, associates those readings with tracked entities, and passes a cleaner real-time location stream into Digital Twin Studio® Live for visualization, traceability and operational monitoring.
Different areas, assets and use cases often require different tracking technologies. smaRTLS® is designed to connect a single technology or a hybrid combination of location systems.
Filter redundant tag and location events so repeated signals do not become repeated operational events.
Combine RFID, barcode, GPS and other tracking sources into one coherent operational location stream.
Use signal filtering and proximity logic to improve the quality of entity-location updates before they enter the Digital Twin.
Maintain entity relationships and chaining so tracked objects can retain context as they move through the operation.
Reduce manual maintenance through built-in configuration and device-management capabilities.
Feed normalized real-time location directly into Digital Twin Studio® Live instead of leaving tracking data isolated in separate systems.
RFID and RTLS systems can generate repeated or overlapping location signals. smaRTLS® includes a signal-filtering engine designed to eliminate redundant reads while maintaining an accurate real-time position for each tracked entity.
The result is a cleaner event stream that Digital Twin Studio® Live can use to update location, movement, activity and traceability without treating every raw device event as a new operational state.
Location is more useful when it is tied to identity, movement and relationships. smaRTLS® supports real-time tracking and entity chaining so Digital Twin Studio® Live can maintain operational traceability as tagged items move.
Associate tracking events with the correct material, asset, resource, container or other tracked entity.
Maintain the best available real-time location state based on the connected tracking technology.
Create and maintain entity relationships for traceability when items, containers or resources move together.
smaRTLS® can interact with supported tags while tracking the associated entity, allowing tag information and location context to be managed as part of the connected workflow.
This can support applications where the tag is not simply an identifier, but part of the operational information flow.
smaRTLS® is not the visualization layer. Its role is to deliver reliable location and tracking data into Digital Twin Studio® Live, where that data becomes part of the real-time operational model.
Update tracked entities in browser-based 2D and 3D operational views using incoming live location data.
Retain movement and location context so users can analyze where tracked entities moved over time.
Combine location data with workflow, inventory, resource and performance information inside Digital Twin Studio® Live.
smaRTLS® can use proprietary proximity and chaining logic to derive more useful relationships from tracking events—helping determine when tagged entities are associated, moving together or interacting within a defined operational context.
Connect RFID, RTLS, barcode, GPS or other tracking devices.
Receive raw reads, positions and tracking events from the connected technologies.
Remove redundant signals and resolve the current operational location state.
Connect the location event to the correct Digital Twin entity and relationships.
Feed the normalized real-time stream into Digital Twin Studio® Live.
The tracking technology depends on the use case. smaRTLS®provides the common connectivity layer that allows different physical entities to be represented in the same live Digital Twin.
Track tagged material, containers, pallets, totes, WIP and inventory movement.
Track mobile equipment, tools, carts and other operational assets.
Use appropriate tracking technologies to connect resource location and movement to operational workflows.
smaRTLS® is the tracking and location connectivity layer. It connects and normalizes signals from RFID, RTLS, barcode, GPS and related location technologies.
Digital Twin Studio® Live is the web-based real-time Digital Twin environment that uses that location data together with operational data to provide visualization, traceability, KPIs and real-time monitoring.
smaRTLS® is CreateASoft's patented real-time location connectivity technology. It connects tracking technologies such as active RFID, passive RFID, barcode, GPS and related RTLS systems and feeds normalized real-time location data into Digital Twin Studio® Live.
smaRTLS® collects and filters location events from tracking devices, associates those events with operational entities and publishes the resulting real-time location state to Digital Twin Studio® Live.
Yes. It is designed to support either a single tracking technology or a hybrid environment using multiple location technologies together.
Yes. Its signal-filtering engine is designed to eliminate redundant reads and location signals before those events are used to update the tracked entity.
smaRTLS® supports reading from and writing to supported tags on the fly while maintaining the location and identity of the associated tracked entity.
Depending on the chosen tracking technology, smaRTLS® can be used to connect location data for inventory, material, equipment, containers, mobile assets, resources and other tagged entities.
No. smaRTLS® is the tracking and connectivity layer. Digital Twin Studio® Live provides the browser-based Digital Twin visualization, monitoring, traceability and dashboard environment.
Use smaRTLS® to connect RFID, RTLS and other tracking technologies to Digital Twin Studio® Live and turn raw device signals into reliable real-time operational location data.
