Abstract: RTLS and track-and-trace technologies, including RFID, QR codes, Airtags, Bluetooth, and Lora WAN, have all differentially changed how industries track items and things. Important constituents of the IoT ecosystem, they ensure the high degree of accuracy in object and asset tracking across industries. RFID ensures smooth scanning in order to maintain inventories, while QR codes allow for instant access and verification of data. Airtags are using ultra-wideband technology in asset tracking at a personal level and highly accurately. Bluetooth provides proximity-based tracking, and Lora WAN serves best for long-range and low-power communication in remote monitoring. Aggregated, they enhance operational efficiency, improve resource utilization, and allow for predictive maintenance. The technical architecture consists of edge devices, centralized cloud platforms, and protocols for communication to ensure data security, scalability, and real-time updates. By integrating RTLS with IoT frameworks, businesses achieve actionable insights, streamline operations, and enhance decision-making that drives innovation in logistics, healthcare, retail, and smart cities.

Keywords: RTLS, Track-and-Trace, IoT, RFID, QR Codes, Air tag, Bluetooth, Lora WAN, Asset Tracking, Real-Time Monitoring, Location-Based Services, IoT Architecture.
