Zebra Technologies, a prominent leader in technologies that extend real-time visibility into business operations worldwide, announced the initial shipments of its new ultra-wideband (UWB) dart sensors and tags. The innovative products are Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) compliant. The Boeing Company, Shanghai URTLS Technology, and all other customers are utilizing the high performing Zebra IEEE UWB systems to track the location of assets, special purpose tools, and other equipment with incredible accuracy.
“Zebra’s IEEE Dart Ultra Wideband solutions ensure URTLS can deploy a truly global technology that can scale and interoperate with other IEEE compliant products. The development of the IEEE standard for UWB eliminates concerns about using proprietary solutions,” said Jinbo Yang, CEO of Shanghai URTLS Technology, a leading China-based real-time locating system (RTLS) company.
Zebra’s Dart UWB solutions allow users to precisely track personnel, assets, and transactions in real time with unmatched performance. With the IEEE compliant Zebra tags and sensors, used in concert with Zebra Dart hardware and software, end users have an unprecedented level of interoperability and can design real-time locating systems based on their specific needs.
The adoption of new technologies is frequently delayed by the typical lag of industry standards. This delay has a significant impact on organizations to gain greater insight into their value chains concerning new technologies such as UWB. A global study recently commissioned by Zebra Technologies discovered that 66 percent of people surveyed cited system integration as a substantial challenge for implementing Internet of Things (IoT) solutions. Announced in the spring of 2012, the new IEEE standard enables users to develop a system founded on an open, globally recognized standard.
