RFID & RTLS-based asset tracking eliminates manual asset searches
Real-time asset tracking splutions monitor item location, availability, and movement continuously — helping organizations reduce search times, prevent losses, and improve equipment utilization.
A short introduction to asset tracking with RFID and RTLS
Digitally managed asset pools offer greater cost-efficiency and faster asset turnaround. Our tracking solution delivers real-time visibility into the location of instruments, tools, equipment, furniture, and other assets — reducing search times and asset loss. Shared assets are displayed on a real-time map view accessible to all users, enabling fast and efficient locating even in the largest facilities.
The Turck Vilant Systems Asset Tracking Solution
Organizations across industries depend on shared assets such as instruments, work equipment, tools, containers, and maintenance devices. Operations slow down when employees search for missing equipment, verify asset availability manually, and interrupt workflows across departments and facilities.
Warehouses, hospitals, and production sites face the same operational challenge: assets must remain visible, available, and traceable at all times. Otherwise supervisors at shipyards and industrial facilities verify access rights, search for tools, and monitor asset usage manually while nurses spend time locating wheelchairs, infusion pumps, and diagnostic equipment .
Turck Vilant Systems’ RFID- and RTLS-based asset tracking solution automates asset identification, location tracking, and status monitoring in real time. Customers reduce manual searches, prevent losses, improve asset utilization, and maintain operational continuity across large and complex environments.
Turck Vilant Systems Asset Tracking Solution
- Assigns a unique identity to assets (instruments, equipment, tools, containers, servers, furniture)
- Records asset locations.
- Visualizes asset location on a map.
- Logs all RFID events and documents the history of each individual asset.
- Tracks asset maintenance cycles.
- Registers the current user of the asset.
A Step-by-Step Approach to Asset Tracking
Strategically placed RFID read points or RTLS locators provide real-time visibility into asset movement and availability across facilities. When integrated into daily operations, asset transfers, returns, storage events, and maintenance cycles are automatically registered — eliminating manual search, reducing loss, and improving asset utilization.
Asset Search
Personnel search for required assets directly from the system map view or asset list. The system displays the latest known location, movement history, and current asset status — reducing time spent searching for equipment across the facility.
Asset Tagging
RFID tags or RTLS devices are attached to instruments, equipment, tools, or other assets. Each asset receives a unique digital identity for tracking, maintenance monitoring, and event registration.

Asset Movement Tracking
As assets move across the facility, the system tracks and registers their latest location automatically. Movement events between storage areas, workspaces, maintenance points, and exits remain continuously visible in the system.

Maintenance & Asset Availability
The system registers maintenance cycles, return events, and asset availability automatically. Notifications and workflow prompts help ensure assets remain available, maintained, and ready for use.
