The Shepherd Real Time Locating System 

Overview

The Shepherd RTLS is an automated real-time locating and monitoring system for asset and personnel tracking.  The system is based on the use of miniature active RFID tags called TeleTags which are attached to assets or carried by personnel and provide on-going connection to Shepherd Access Points.  From there information is sent via Wi-Fi routers to the system’s Monitor and Control Station. 

The 0.7 ounces 0.196 inch thick TeleTags are ideally suited for noninvasive functions including organizational ID badges.  They offer superior capabilities which passive RFID tags do not such as the ability to monitor assets or personnel without requiring them to enter or exit through specific doors.  The TeleTag contains a built-in motion detector, temperature sensor, push button alert and an alert LED which can be programmed according to user needs.  Shepherd Access Points are small devices with rechargeable batteries which can be used in any building configuration and be placed anywhere in a room.  They are designed to be easily integrated into existing infrastructure.

The Shepherd RTLS is scalable and can easily expand to track numerous assets or personnel across multiple locations. The system design supports rapid deployment and can be used in a pre-configured building or at temporary relocations.  A user-friendly web-enabled interface with a relational database makes tracking easy.
