“…The location method uses the data obtained in the first phase and determines the tag's location in a coordinate reference frame [8]. In general, the location can be described in three ways: (1) symbolically (e.g., the predefined zone in which the item is located), (2) as absolute (exact) location and relative location and (3) determination of the location based on a nearby known object [3,26].…”

“…Besides the usage in different environments and conditions, UWB RTLSs have been tested with a different number of tags and anchors. Some studies used only one tag for location [16,22,32,[37][38][39][40][41][42]45], some tested more than tag one simultaneously [1,8,[34][35][36][37]43]. In an experiment by Barbieri et al [43], different RTLSs systems were used simultaneously to test if they interference with each other.…”

“…Nowadays, companies are optimizing their processes mainly by looking for methods to reduce manufacturing costs [1], increase sustainability performance, occupational health and safety [2] and digitalization. In doing so, they note that the great opportunity to save time and start business analytics depends on monitoring pieces of material, semifinished products, products, and people in real time.…”

“…Cwikla et al [1] proposed a list of requirements for RTLS to be in optimal support to management and production engineering, which includes: the type of objects for localization, required positioning accuracy, the ability to identify and differentiate identical objects, frequency of refreshing location information, need for continuity of location determination, need to provide a line of sight, immunity to interferences and cost. All proposed features are explained understandably.…”

When introducing new technologies, companies are repeatedly faced with choosing between solutions from different providers. Regardless of all the good technical characteristics of the technology, if it is chosen inappropriately, it can prove to be a cost driver instead of something that brings added value to the system. Aware of this, we considered selecting a real-time location system (RTLS) based on Ultra-wideband technology in the indoor work environment. In practice and theory, it has been proven that the introduction of the RTLS can have highly positive effects on performance and business sustainability indicators. When reviewing the literature, it was noticed that authors solely focus on the technical properties of the systems and prices when giving guidelines on selecting the optimal RTLS. This article aims to provide advanced guidelines for UWB RTLS selection, proposing a phased selection process which is the main novelty proposed and investigated in this research. The guidelines are based on fragmented recommendations in the scientific literature that have been identified, gathered, considered, and reasonably allocated to the advanced performance-oriented phased selection process. In practice, this approach enables decision-makers to choose the most efficient and most appropriate UWB RTLS for specific logistics systems.
