Location & Positioning Systems
Enhance asset tracking, workflow accuracy, and situational awareness with advanced, scalable location-based technologies.
Overview
Location & Positioning Systems (LPS) provide real-time visibility of assets, people, and equipment across industrial and commercial spaces. These systems leverage advanced technologies such as GPS, RFID, UWB, BLE, and sensor fusion to deliver precise geolocation and movement data. From streamlining logistics to ensuring worker safety and automating workflows, LPS has become a cornerstone of modern smart infrastructure.
At IoTTechExperts, we offer robust, scalable LPS solutions tailored for demanding B2B environments in North America. Our technologies help organizations make informed decisions, optimize resources, and meet compliance requirements. Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, IoTTechExperts delivers reliable and innovative systems backed by expert support, strict quality control, and a strong partner network. Whether you’re tracking mobile assets across facilities or managing workforce location analytics, we bring unmatched precision and adaptability to your operations.

Case Studies
United States – Logistics Optimization in a Distribution Center
A major U.S.-based e-commerce distributor implemented IoTTechExperts’s BLE-based RTLS to track high-value inventory in real time. The system reduced average item retrieval times by 28% and improved zone-level heatmap analysis for workflow optimization. The company also integrated the data into its WMS for predictive restocking.
United States – Construction Site Safety Enhancement
A Texas-based construction firm deployed UWB-based worker tracking tags across a high-risk job site. Using geo-fencing and real-time alerts, IoTTechExperts’s system helped reduce unauthorized zone entry by 43% and supported OSHA safety compliance audits with time-stamped movement logs.
Canada – Hospital Asset & Patient Monitoring
A healthcare facility in Ontario partnered with IoTTechExperts to implement RFID and BLE tags for both medical equipment and patients. The solution minimized misplaced assets, reduced patient response time by 35%, and provided contact tracing capability during infection control events.
