Portable Technology Solutions (PTS) has launched the RTLS Engine for ClearStream, a next-generation solution designed to provide businesses with better visibility, automation, and efficiency.
The new RTLS product introduces an intuitive mapping interface and seamless integration with a wide range of enterprise systems that, according to PTS officials, enables businesses to track assets, inventory, and personnel in real time with precision; automate operations and enhance security with customizable workflows; and eliminate reliance on manual updates to ensure up-to-the-second accuracy.
With a focus on simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and rapid deployment, the PTS RTLS Engine for ClearStream represents a major leap forward in real-time location tracking, said Dan Peluso, CTO of PTS,
Built to Solve Industry Pain Points
“With RTLS for ClearStream, we tried to tackle the three biggest barriers—system complexity, cost, and delivery timelines—right from the start,” stated Peluso in a statement. “I believe we did that, and I’m excited to see that our customers agree.”
The decision to develop RTLS for ClearStream stemmed from real-world challenges observed in existing solutions. Howard Heckman, senior software sngineer at PTS, said it was decided to develop RTLS after evaluating other products on the market.
“Frankly, those solutions were decent, but we saw the same flaws our customers pointed out—complexity, cost, and lengthy delivery timelines,” said Heckman. “With [this new product], we tackled all three, creating a simpler, more affordable solution that deploys in a fraction of the time.”
Industry Support and Strategic Partnerships
“As we became familiar with existing solutions in the same space, we were left with the thought that we could improve a few things and deliver an option to better suit the needs of our customers,” added Peluso. “Simpler, cost-effective, and faster go-live times were all areas we thought we could improve.”
The RTLS Engine has already begun to generate positive momentum within the industry. JW Franz, IoT & automation solutions director at DecisionPoint Technologies, said the partnership between the two companies over the years has been mutually beneficial in deploying RFID solutions with DecisionPoint customers.
“With the PTS ClearStream software along with its RTLS capabilities, DPT will continue to leverage the most innovative RFID readers like the Zebra ATR7000 in deploying RAIN RFID solutions requiring RTLS-like abilities, as our customers are expecting,” said Franz.
Looking Ahead to Continuous Innovation
Brad Horn, CEO of PTS said PTS is committed to evolving the product as they receive feedback that will shape future enhancements.
“We are very excited for this first release, but I’m looking forward to how it will grow,” said Horn. “We’re already working on the punch list for version 2 and can’t wait for our users’ feedback to add to that growing list of exciting options.”
