RTLS Devices
Industrial UWB & BLE hardware family for high-precision workforce safety, asset tracking, and paperless manufacturing
Made in France
FlowMaître RTLS Hardware Lineup
Manufactured by FlowMaître Solutions SAS (Nice, France), the RTLS Devices family comprises wearable smart personnel badges, industrial asset & paperless Kanban tags with e-Ink screens, and stationary network gateways (anchors) supporting both Time-Difference-of-Arrival (TDoA) and single-anchor Angle-of-Arrival + Two-Way Ranging (AoA + TWR) in impact-resistant ABS enclosures. All devices are equipped with Bluetooth Low Energy and support optional encryption across UWB (STS), Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Ethernet links.
MaîtreTag
Industrial tag in a sealed IP67 ABS enclosure, built on the same platform as MaîtreBadge. Available screenless or with 1.5" e-Ink and 2.0" e-Paper bistable displays for paperless PLM routing.
- RF Interfaces: UWB (Channels 5 & 9) + BLE 5.3 + NFC.
- Power: Built-in Li-Ion battery (600 mAh), < 0.15 mA average current, charging via contact pads or Qi wireless.
- Field Use: RGB LED bar and ≥ 80 dB buzzer for pick-to-light and acoustic search.
MaîtreBadge
Wearable smart badge in a sealed, impact-resistant IP67 ABS housing for indoor workforce positioning (10–30 cm accuracy), Man-Down fall & immobility detection, SOS emergency call, and ACS turnstile access. Available without a screen or with 1.5" e-Ink and 2.0"/2.9" e-Paper displays.
- Alerts & Safety: RGB LED status bar, haptic vibration, ≥ 80 dB piezo buzzer, tactile SOS button.
- RF Interfaces: UWB (Channels 5 & 9) + BLE 5.3 + NFC for access control.
- Power: Built-in Li-Ion battery (600 mAh), charging via contact pads or Qi wireless.
MaîtreAnchor TDoA
Stationary base station in an ABS enclosure for indoor and industrial monitoring systems. Receives UWB blink packets from tags, timestamps their arrival (Time Difference of Arrival — TDoA), and forwards aggregated telemetry to the server.
- UWB Radio: Channels 5 (6489.6 MHz) & 9 (7987.2 MHz), passive Rx-only reception or TDoA+TWR synchronization.
- Connectivity: 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi or Ethernet (optional PoE), BLE 5.0.
- Diagnostics: Built-in OLED display for on-site commissioning without a laptop.
MaîtreAnchor AOA+TWR
Network gateway in an ABS enclosure featuring a top-mounted dual-element phased antenna array. Simultaneously measures distance (DS-TWR) and azimuth angle (AoA / PDoA) to determine 2D tag coordinates (r, θ) from a single anchor without multi-anchor triangulation.
- Accuracy & FoV: ±10–15 cm range accuracy, < 3° angular accuracy across a ±60° (120°) sector; 1 unit replaces 3–4 anchors in corridors.
- Connectivity: 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi or Ethernet (optional PoE), BLE 5.0.
- Diagnostics: Built-in OLED display for on-site commissioning without a laptop.
