Real-Time Location Systems: Where does efficiency end and tracking begin?


Listen Later

The same system that keeps employees safe can also reveal where they are, when they were there, and who they were with. So where does efficiency end and tracking begin?

In this episode of HID Connects, host Matt Winn sits down with three experts to explore Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) — the technology powering the invisible web of sensors, tags, and credentials that track movement across hospitals, factories, and offices in real time.

The panel tackles the biggest misconceptions head-on, reframing RTLS from "tracking" to "visibility," and dives deep into the privacy questions organizations need to answer before deploying these systems. From GDPR vs. CCPA to consent, data retention, and the critical difference between operational intelligence and surveillance — this conversation will change how you think about location data.
