Object tracking

Object tracking refers to the systematic tracing of physical objects such as goods, containers or operating equipment by their location, status and movements within a process. In this context, identifiers are captured automatically, for example via RFID, and linked to events so that information is available in the system without manual intermediate steps. Depending on the application, the term overlaps with Asset Tracking, especially when operating equipment, tools or mobile resources are monitored in a targeted way. The clear assignment of movements and statuses improves the control of material flows and operating equipment in ongoing operations.
