The Webinar Wednesday session “The New Generation of Asset Tracking” was sponsored by Cognosos and eligible for 1 credit from the ACI.
In this 60-minute webinar, Cognosos Chief Product Officer Adrian Jennings discussed the transition from bulky, problematic RTLS systems that once dominated the market to a lightweight, wireless versions in service today. The new generation of RTLS are less complicated and much less expensive to install. The new systems provide room-level tracking without room-level hardware and deliver on the promise of a hard-dollar driven return on investment.
In this webinar, Jennings examined the key components to building a strong finance driven RTLS business case and the larger impact increased equipment visibility delivers to a facility.
More than 100 individuals registered for this popular webinar. Attendees obtained valuable information from the session with additional expert insights during a question-and-answer session with Jennings.
One question was, “Isn’t machine learning just like fingerprinting technology from a few years ago?”
Jennings said it is and it isn’t. He explained that the old technology relied on Wi-Fi and was not very accurate. The new technique is more advanced with machine learning algorithms that continue to learn.
“So, they cope with changes, just automatically, which is a fantastic feature that comes built in with technology,” he said.
He also answered a question about the installation process and timeline.
Attendees provided feedback via. A survey that included the question, “How will today’s webinar help you improve in your role?”
