The Industry’s Most Accurate Positioning System
Quantum RTLS® is a hyper-accurate real-time location system that digitizes industrial operations with up to 1.5 mm 3D accuracy, providing the spatial data foundation required for true operational efficiency and physical AI.
The difference is the data.
Millimeter-accurate real-time 3D position and orientation data = AI that truly understands real-world operations.

Quantum RTLS In Action
See how we transform physical operations into high-fidelity spatial data you can act on.
Quantum RTLS captures real-time location and movement data as work happens, giving teams the visibility needed to validate workflows, reduce errors, coordinate handoffs, and so much more. From manual assembly and material handling to automation coordination and process validation, Quantum RTLS turns physical activity into live operational intelligence.
How It Works
The Power of Ultrasonics, Engineered for the Real World
Unlike legacy systems, cough Ultra-Wideband (UWB), which are unreliable due to signal interference, noise, and metal infrastructure, Quantum RTLS uses ultrasonic time-of-flight ranging to deliver robust 1.5 mm–accurate positioning. Backed by 35+ global patents, the system combines proprietary signal processing, sensor fusion, and automatic calibration to make high-precision positioning practical at factory scale.
This level of precision unlocks applications like:
- Bolt sequencing and torque validation where fasteners are positioned close together
- Bin picking and material verification across densely packed pick walls
- Human-robot coordination and automated handoffs

Transform Spatial Data Into Operational Intelligence
Transform Spatial Data Into Operational Intelligence
Our technology doesn’t just generate location data — it creates operational understanding.
Our Spatial Intelligence Platform organizes and contextualizes the data captured by Quantum RTLS to create a live digital representation of your operations, where movement across the factory is continuously decoded and transformed into actionable insight.
Instead of analyzing disconnected events, teams gain a real-time understanding of how work actually flows across the facility. This enables them to move beyond passive monitoring toward intelligent workflow orchestration, automation, and AI-driven optimization.
OmniVisor AI™: Unlock Deep Process Insights Instantly
Powered by the real-time spatial intelligence generated by Quantum RTLS, OmniVisor AI™ continuously analyzes millions of operational data points to uncover hidden inefficiencies across industrial workflows — identifying bottlenecks, process deviations, and quality risks as they happen.
By processing far more information in seconds than any person could in hours, it recommends precise actions to keep your operations flowing smoothly. Now, you can save time, reduce waste, and maintain peak efficiency all by simply asking.

Technology Comparison
Unlike traditional RTLS technologies such as Ultra-Wideband (UWB), Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and RFID that often struggle to provide reliable positioning due to signal interference, metal infrastructure, multipath, and noise, Quantum RTLS was built specifically to support complex operations where exact location and process verification matter. Leveraging proprietary technology protected by 35+ global patents, Quantum RTLS uses a combination of Mobile devices, Anchors, and gateways to track the assets, processes, and people critical to your enterprise with 1.5 mm 3D accuracy. The technology is also engineered for practical deployment at industrial scale. Automatic calibration eliminates costly manual surveying, while flexible Anchor and Mobile configurations support both temporary and permanent deployments.
