Educational facilities include daycares, preschools, primary and secondary schools, and college campuses and there is almost an endless amount of new things they all can do using RTLS to optimize various different tasks and operations, creating both a more efficient and more interactive school environment. RTLS solutions provide technology for a wide range of issues, from classroom equipment utilization to tracking students, visitors, staff, and valued assets (smart boards, TVs, projectors, laptops) or bus route management and student, teacher, visitor and staff safety. RTLS helps maximize the scarce funds and resources available to the educational community. Using precision locating system and other types of tags, organizations can leverage an existing Wi-Fi network to bring location intelligence wherever it is needed, inside or outside of the school walls—wirelessly and automatically. By using the RTLS solution, you enhance staff satisfaction and life safety always via technology, reduce emergency response times, access real-time staff locations during emergencies using the existing Wi-Fi network, maximize onsite security with accurate floor plan visualization, automate alerts when tags become idle or inactive, effectively manage bus routes, stops, pick-ups, and drop-offs and produce post-event reports with ease.

There are many goals to be achieved within the walls of school spaces. Imagine being able to change the very dynamics of managing attendance, security, and emergency response by using very low-cost small warning signals devices. Well now you can. By safety probably being one of the most important issues of all, RTLS becomes now more necessary than ever. With violence and threats of violence on the rise, administrations are making great efforts to ensure that every student is in safe hands from opening to closing the bell. However, accidents during the middle school day may also create the need for immediate, on-site emergency notifications. Staff members wearing a staff tag with a button push may send a real-time alert to anyone on or off site, notifying them when and where assistance is required. RLTS provides direct location and individual information. This is delivered through multiple means of sharing, such as email, text, or mobile application. When this system is implemented, teachers or other staff members can stay with a sick child in a critical medical condition until help arrives. Visitor management is another crucial aspect. By tagging each visitor who enters your premises, if they enter areas of the school premises where they should not be, notification can be sent immediately to the notifying staff. Other RTLS solutions include resource management to ensure that certain electronics and equipment do not leave school, as well as environmental monitoring to set temperature limits for a region or room and to send alerts when the temperature exceeds or is below this limit. This also applies to refrigerators, lounges, storage areas and medication fridges.
