How to Reduce Dwell Time with Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS)

In today’s fast-paced supply chain environment, operational efficiency often determines the difference between staying competitive and falling behind. One of the most costly yet often overlooked contributors to inefficiency is dwell time—the period assets spend idle at a facility without making progress toward their next destination.

Whether it’s a trailer waiting at a loading dock, a pallet sitting in staging, or equipment unaccounted for in a warehouse, excess dwell time drains productivity, reduces asset utilization, and erodes profit margins.

Enter Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS), a transformative technology that provides actionable visibility into asset movement and location. It empowers organizations to pinpoint bottlenecks, streamline operations, and drastically reduce dwell time.
