5.0 SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The WherePort IV is a location indicator that is part of the Real Time Locating System (Figure 1). The

WherePort IV transmits a localized magnetic field. Since the field is confined (programmable from

approximately 3 feet to 20 feet) it is a reliable indicator of the location of key sites in the facility. When

WhereTags pass through the WherePort IV field they transmit the ID of the WherePort IV. The

WhereTag response can be programmed to indicate needed information about the status of the asset or

object to which the tag is attached.

WherePort IVs are mounted to fixed locations such as gates, loading docks, or cells along an assembly

line so that information required about the movement of assets through the facility will be gathered by

the RTLS. As tagged assets pass through the fields the tag transmits the WherePort IV ID that pinged it

and any other programmed status information.
