Each combination keeps its own six-month test
Year one looks finished. The next building on the areal is told to buy the same hardware, on the same budget, with the same claim that the investment pays back within six months. The first building earned it. The second building has a different roof, a different fleet, and a different job.
One time test, separate purchases
ROI within six months is the shared test. The euro amount is not shared. A documented 15,000 m² (about 161,000 ft²) warehouse invested €3,500 in logistics RTLS and recorded €11,000 saved in year one. A documented 30,000 m² (about 323,000 ft²) Tier-2 hall invested €120,000 and recorded €960,000 saved in year one. A 100,000 m² (about 1.08 million ft²) building and a 2 km² (about 494 acre) areal of different buildings can also pay back within six months. They do it on their own combinations, described in the six-month return depends on the combination. One site's invoice is not the other site's budget.
Upkeep follows the combination you installed. Inverted BLE means beacons and tablets. A pack on each forklift means a pack per truck. A dense grid means anchor mounts and cable. VHF means licensed gateways and trackers that already cover indoors and outdoors. Batteries, spares, and the licence that scales with positions arrive after go-live. A €3,500 pilot can look finished in year one and still spend the €11,000 on upkeep if those lines were left off the sheet. The checklist is in what to include when calculating RTLS ROI.
What the next layer is allowed to be
Extend with a new test, not by copying the neighbouring site. A yard move that must stay on the same tag uses VHF, described in indoor and outdoor on the same move. Cages are a separate purchase, described in tracking material is a separate purchase. A dock mark that medium precision cannot settle is a small exact-position zone, described in exact floor position only where the mark matters. Each one has its own spend, and each one has to pay that spend back within six months.
Calls and micro-stops that were never a location problem stay on AOS (commonly known as FGS), as described in calls and micro-stops before a location grid. Adding a roof grid to a finished pull project is a new test. It does not inherit the €5,080,000 production figure.
What remains after each test
Every combination that passes still writes the spatially oriented dataset for the places it covers. Live logistics reads free capacity and empty corridors. Continuous improvement reads the month after the project sponsor leaves. Correlation and causality analytics asks which pairings keep preceding a starve. Those readings grow when you add a layer that earned its own payback. They do not grow when you copy hardware into a building that did not need it.
The live view is in internal logistics optimization and production monitoring.
How teams run the next test
1. Name the building, the fleet, and the move this layer must see - Small hall, one large roof, or the road between buildings.
2. Price only that combination, including upkeep through the month the investment should have paid back - Leave the neighbouring site's numbers in that site's own file.
3. Judge pass or fail on this layer's operating save or recovered minutes - Do not blend AOS production euros with an RTLS fleet cut.
4. Open the next layer only after this one has passed - What the product can do is on the features overview. How a rollout is priced is on pricing.
