Real-Time Locating System (RTLS) with Apache Kafka for Transportation and Logistics
Real-Time Locating System (RTLS) enables identifying and tracking the location of objects or people in real-time. It is used everywhere in transportation and logistics across industries. A postmodern RTLS requires open architecture and high scalability. This blog post explores the use cases for RTLS, the challenges of existing implementations, and why more and more RTLS implementations rely on Apache Kafka as an open, scalable, and reliable event streaming platform.
Real-Time Locating / Tracking System (RTLS) in Supply Chain and Logistics
RTLS is a key part of many use cases across verticals. Many manufacturing processes and supply chains rely on good real-time information of assets and people. But also, other innovative scenarios could not exist without RTLS. For instance, think about ride-sharing, car-sharing, or food delivery.
