Real Time Locating System has become an important part of supporting technologies applied in a wide range of logistics related to many sectors and branches, as warehousing, manufacturing or healthcare offering real time visibility of assets. It increases assets utilization. RTLS is a very wide term covering many different specific technologies. The use of a specific technology effects in achieving different performance metrics. Therefore, the selection of a specific technology (or mix) is multi-criteria decision making problem. A set of criteria for RTLS selection was discussed and confronted with a set of criteria for assessment of identification systems and an application of TOPSIS for the selection of RTLS was presented.
