Abstract: A locating device for locating radio tags is provided, one or more first radio tags are conveyed through a specified region multiple times under various conveyor conditions. In the process, the current respective position of each first radio tag is detected by a locating sensor, a radio signal of the respective first radio tag is received, and a respective signal strength curve of the received radio signal is detected. According to the invention, the detected current positions and signal strength curves are used to train a machine learning module to reproduce a corresponding current position using at least one signal strength curve. The locating device is designed to then feed signal strength curves of received radio signals from second radio tags into the trained machine learning module and ascertain the respective current position of a respective second radio tag using the resulting output signals of the machine learning module.
