About the role

  • The RTLS Engineer is responsible for designing, implementing, and optimizing real-time location systems in industrial environments.
  • This individual will have deep manufacturing operations expertise.
  • This role combines technical RTLS knowledge with practical manufacturing experience to deliver transformative solutions that enhance operational efficiency, safety, and visibility across production facilities.
  • Analyzes manufacturing workflows, production processes, and facility layouts to identify optimal RTLS implementation strategies and Infor ERP integration opportunities.
  • Designs comprehensive RTLS architectures using KINEXON RTLS Pro and OS software to track assets, personnel, and materials with real-time data feeding into Infor Manufacturing ERP modules.
  • Develops automated data flows between RTLS tracking events and Infor ERP to enable real-time production reporting, labor tracking, MHE tracking, and inventory updates.
  • Creates KINEXON OS-based integration solutions that automatically update Infor Production Management with work order progress, completion status, and resource utilization.
  • Configures zone-based tracking solutions for production lines, quality control stations, and inventory areas with direct integration for Infor Shop Floor Control and Inventory Management.
  • Designs custom dashboards and analytics solutions leveraging both RTLS data and Infor ERP information to provide comprehensive manufacturing visibility and KPI reporting.
  • Implements RTLS-enabled material tracking that automatically updates Infor Inventory Management with real-time stock movements, consumption, and location data.
  • Configures and optimizes UWB anchor networks considering both manufacturing constraints and Infor ERP data requirements for seamless integration.
  • Collaborates with manufacturing engineers, operations managers, supply chain engineers, and plant supervisors to understand production challenges and identify RTLS-enables improvement opportunities.
  • Implements RTLS solutions for lean manufacturing initiatives including waste reduction, bottleneck identification, and continuous improvement programs.
  • Develops asset tracking solutions for tools, equipment, work-in-progress (WIP), and finished goods to reduce search time and improve inventory accuracy.
  • Creates automated workflows and alerts for production events, maintenance scheduling, and quality control processes.
  • Configures KINEXON RTLS Pro software for manufacturing-specific applications, including production tracking, asset management, and safety compliance.
  • Designs and implements comprehensive RTLS-to-Infor Manufacturing ERP integrations using KINEXON OS software as the primary integration platform.
  • Develops real-time data synchronization between RTLS tracking events and Infor ERP modules, including Production Management, TAKT Time Adherence, Inventory Management, and Shop Floor Control.
  • Creates custom KINEXON OS applications and workflows to automatically update Infor ERP with production status, material backflushing, labor tracking, and MHE equipment utilization data.
  • Implements API integrations and data pipelines using KINEXON OS connectors, Infor ION middleware, and protocols such as MQTT, OPC-UA, HTTP REST, and Infors proprietary APIs.
  • Deploys and maintains RTLS infrastructure including anchors, tags, gateways, and edge computing devices in industrial environments optimized for Infor ERP data requirements.
  • Conducts manufacturing facility assessments to evaluate RTLS feasibility, ROI potential, and implementation requirements.
  • Leads technical workshops and proof-of-concept deployments to demonstrate RTLS value propositions in manufacturing contexts.
  • Supports sales processes by creating technical proposals, ROI calculations, and implementation roadmaps tailored to manufacturing operations.
  • Delivers technical presentations and training sessions to manufacturing teams, highlighting operational benefits and use cases.
  • Leads end-to-end RTLS implementation projects from initial assessment through deployment and optimization.
  • Coordinate with cross-functional teams including IT, operations, safety, logistics, and maintenance to ensure successful system integration.
  • Manages project timelines, deliverables, and stakeholder communication throughout the implementation lifecycle.
  • Conducts system commissioning, user acceptance testing, and performance validation in manufacturing environments.
  • Provides post-deployment support, optimization, and continuous improvement services.
  • Travels (30-40%) to client sites for on-site assessments, implementations, and customer support.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, or other related technical field.
