Planning, Deployment, and Management Tool for Time-Based Real Time Locating Systems

Zebra Technologies Corp. (www.zebra.com) has released System Builder, a planning software tool utilizing time difference of arrival (TDOA) to assist in designing accurate and scalable real time locating systems (RTLS). Touted as an industry first, System Builder provides customers with a tool that helps plan, deploy and optimize Zebra's WhereNet and Dart Ultra Wideband (UWB) networks.

"System Builder is a game changer for businesses looking to implement RTLS solutions to gain better visibility into their operations," said Todd Wazny, director of professional services for Zebra Technologies. "This tool helps businesses better design a system based on best practices across Zebra's RTLS suite, easing deployment complexity, time and cost."

The tool simplifies the planning and design process with built-in tools via an intuitive installation wizard and user interface that helps determine proper placement of location sensors, helping eliminate improper designs. Following the installation process, System Builder assists customers in managing the deployment of hundreds of Zebra WhereNet and Dart UWB locating devices that are used to continually track assets, increase productivity and drive efficiency. Zebra is now offering System Builder globally.
