How can RFID be used in an RTLS system?

What will be an ideal response?


Mental health patients can be fitted with Wi-Fi monitoring devices or RFID tags, and their movements can be tracked within the healthcare center, increasing patient safety. A real-time location system (RTLS) can be used to detect if a patient wanders outdoors or falls on the floor and alert the hospital staff immediately. In addition, RTLS can be used to monitor the location of doctors and nurses, as well as medical equipment, such as blood pressure and heart rate monitors, making access to everyone and everything much quicker, especially in case of an emergency, in addition to tracking assets and preventing equipment theft.

A major equipment purchase is being economi­cally evaluated by a team of three design engineers and one production engineer at Raytheon Aero­space. The agreed-upon estimates are P = $560,000, n = 6 years, and S = $100,000. The group disagrees, however, on the estimated annual net savings the equipment will generate. Estimates are summarized below. (a) Use PW analysis and a spreadsheet to identify which estimates, if any, in­dicate that the equipment is economically justified at a MARR of 8% per year. (b) For any estimate(s) indicating that the purchase is not justified, deter­mine the breakeven number of years for the pur­chase to be justified.
