IoT Case Studies in Real-Time Operations: Why “Good Enough” Isn’t “Good Enough”
Session Abstract:
The promise of the Internet of Things (IoT) rests on a foundation of real-time location and/or condition information, and the actions that can be taken to improve business performance with that information. Yet, often due to the inherent nature of connectivity challenges or the inherent nature of the location technology, real-time visibility falls short of 99+% location accuracy and reliability. In this session, we will explore the following:
- Shortcomings of various RTLS solution types
- Case studies of companies achieving 99+% accuracy
- Benefits of greater system performance
The bottom line: 80-90% location accuracy may sound “good enough,” but for operators that make decisions every minute of every day, it is not. Join this keynote as Bob Proctor, CEO of Link Labs, explores the above topics in more depth.
