Abstract
Various embodiments are described herein for methods and systems that can be used to track a position of a mobile receiver on a production line. In one example embodiment, the position of the mobile receiver is tracked by receiving at least information signal from at least one location tag from among a plurality of location tags positioned at fixed locations along the length of a conveyor belt in a production line, by determining a signal strength of the at least one information signal, and by determining the position of the mobile receiver based on the signal strength of the at least one information signal.
