“While the initial costs for RFID versus UWB are almost identical, UWB undoubtedly outperforms RFID thanks to lower maintenance costs, lower risk of damage and higher accessibility of the system.”
"We replaced the legacy passive RFID system for tracking forklifts that we had already been using for some years with the UWB-based Sewio RTLS. This allows us to smoothly monitor our forklifts as well as the exact positions of 20,000 of our pallets while ensuring 99.9% of system uptime – compared to 80% with passive RFID. On top of that, we are able to easily use the same infrastructure for additional use cases outside of forklift tracking.”
