Sewio RTLS 3.0: Rapidly Shortening RTLS Project Deployment
By Petr Passinger | September 5th, 2022 | 4 min read
Using the latest version of RTLS Studio, you can decrease the complexity and time needed to deploy your RTLS project. With its native support of distance-measuring tools, deploying your RTLS project is faster and easier than ever before. Sewio RTLS 3.0 also features an updated version of its full technology stack, including Ubuntu, resulting in increased overall performance and better security for the whole system.
With our long dedication to system usability, every new version of Sewio RTLS introduces a selection of UX improvements, and version 3.0, with its tweaks for quicker troubleshooting and diagnostics, is no exception.
Here are the top three features you will benefit from with Sewio RTLS 3.0:
Native Support of Distance Measuring Tools: Enabling Expedited Deployments
Getting the exact location measurements for anchors can be time-consuming and difficult to achieve, especially in complex industrial environments. Industrial shop floors often have irregular layouts, which complicates the process and makes it more challenging to ensure measurements are precise. Now, thanks to Sewio RTLS 3.0’s support of distance-measuring tools and DXF/CSV file compatibility, you can obtain x-, y-, and z-axis measurements for your anchors with ease.
Version 3.0 allows you to import vector files, DXFs, enabling integration with tools such as the LEICA S910s digital measurement device. Use any preferred digital measurement device to get the exact coordinates for your anchors, and then export the data as a DXF (or CSV) file directly into your RTLS Studio. This ensures a faster and more exact way of importing your data as you no longer need to position each anchor separately in RTLS Studio.
Support for Ubuntu 20.04: Boosted Performance
As RTLS Studio 3.0 now supports the latest stable version of Ubuntu, 20.04., customers can benefit from this open-source operating system’s enhanced security and performance. Ubuntu version 20.04 offers stable long-term support until 2025, meaning you can enjoy peace of mind for years.
In addition to supporting the latest version of Ubuntu, all other underlying frameworks, including PHP and MySQL, have been updated to their latest versions, resulting in improved performance, stability and security.
Improved UX Features: Superior Troubleshooting and Diagnostics
Easy Access to myRTLS Care

Improved Iconography
Your Sensmap is your digital guide to viewing your entire RTLS system. Now, you can see it in even greater detail as anchors and tags are no longer a single uniform icon.
With version 3.0, anchor types and tag statuses can now be distinguished by their respective icons. If you need to review your installation, you can quickly identify the type of anchor used and the status of a tag at a particular location to expedite troubleshooting and diagnostics.
Instant Input Parameters
When it comes to deploying RTLS, precision is the name of the game. A fat-finger error can be a nightmare to identify and correct. To help prevent such easily made mistakes, the Sewio UX team has implemented instant input parameters to give you immediate feedback if you edit a value in the settings. A color-coded system alerts you at a glance if your input needs to be corrected with red for indicating inaccurate values and green for accurate ones.
