[TTP-955] Support for Multiple Vendors

Problem

The Real-Time Locating System Engine was only able to receive data from one vendor at a time, limiting flexibility for clients who use multiple Real-Time Locating System vendors across their facilities. This meant that hospitals using more than one vendor could not process location data from all their vendors simultaneously, leading to integration challenges.

Solution

The Engine was updated to allow data feeds from multiple vendors to be received and processed at the same time. This change enables hospitals with various vendors, like Centrak and Kontakt.io - Indoor Journey Analytics Platform with AI, IoT, and RTLS , to configure individual connections and receive data from each vendor. Updates were made to support vendor-specific tag formats, allowing accurate processing of each vendor’s data.

Key updates include:

  • Tag Processing: The Real-Time Locating System Engine was modified to handle vendor-specific tag formats. For example, Centrak tags now remove leading zeros, while Kontakt.io - Indoor Journey Analytics Platform with AI, IoT, and RTLS tags add colons for formatting.

  • Performance Testing: Testing confirmed that the system processed multiple location updates effectively, with 200 location changes processed in under 30 seconds, supporting simultaneous use of different vendors.

  • Code and Configuration Changes: Changes to the code and configuration files enable individual vendor connections, making this setup flexible for future vendor additions.


[ECHO-586] 500 Internal Server Error on RTLS Asset Maintenance Dashboard

Problem

When using the Asset Maintenance Dashboard in the Asset system, users received a "500 Internal Server Error" message when attempting to filter columns. This error prevented the dashboard from displaying filtered results correctly.

Solution

The issue was fixed by updating the system to allow column filtering on the Asset Maintenance Dashboard without errors. Filtering functionality now works as expected, letting users sort and view assets without interruptions.
