NephSystem Technologies' Personnel & Object Real Time RFID People Tracking and Monitoring as well as Access Control system is a total solution that is able to provide precise locating info to track personnel (or any other assets) in real time. It is used to automatically identify and track the location of objects or people in real time, usually within a building or other contained area. Wireless RTLS tags are attached to objects or worn by people. This real-time locating system is being widely used in through an assembly line, locating pallets of merchandise in a warehouse, or finding medical equipment in a hospital, or infants monitoring, etc.
NephSystem's Personnel & Object Tracking&Monitoring system uses RTLS (Real Time Locating System) technology to provide highly accurate and precise locating info for any personnel or important assets that need to be monitored in real time. By adjusting the activation range of NSAR820, the locating data could be improved up to 0.2 meters, it is ideally suitable for tracking of personnel or RFID People Tracking or any other equipment, assets, etc. in complex indoor facilities and their outdoor periphery.
The system comes with lightweight battery assistant active tags that can be easily carried by personnel or assets. Tags may periodically transmit regular signals (their unique IDs) to remote NSAR active readers that are mounted in the zone. When tags are approaching any NSAR-820 activators, tags will transmit their unique IDs along with the NSAR-820 activator's address ID together over to NephSystem’s NSAR active RFID reader to provide the tag's precise location.
The NephSystem Middleware software which is deployed on a server collects all data sent from active readers in real time via local network. Analyze the data then show the real time mapping or moving curves of objects on screen.
Nephsystem Technologies' RFID People Tracking system is a comprehensive Real-Time Locating System (RTLS) designed for precise indoor personnel and asset monitoring. Established in 1998 with headquarters in Canada and Asia-Pacific offices, Nephsystem specializes in industrial PDAs, RFID peripherals, and smart tracking solutions deployed in 60+ countries. Their RFID People Tracking integrates active RFID tags (NSAT-708RTLS wearable, NSAT-709RTLS card), NSAR-820 activators/readers, N670 access scanners, and proprietary software for 0.2m accuracy.
This system automatically identifies/tracks people/objects in buildings via battery-powered tags transmitting IDs to activators/readers. Middleware analyzes data for real-time mapping, historical trails, alerts, and reports—ideal for assembly lines, warehouses, hospitals, and security.
Tags emit IDs periodically to NSAR readers. When entering activator (NSAR-820) range, tags transmit activator's address ID with their own, triangulating position to 0.2m. Adjustable activation range optimizes for complex indoor layouts.
