1. KINEXON External Tool Tag

Real-time localization with high update rates and long battery lifetime

The KINEXON External Tool Tag is the perfect sensor for indoor localization in industrial and logistics environments.

By mounting or embedding the tag on the object, it enables a precise and robust localization of all assets on the shop floor. Thus, the KINEXON External Tool Tag provides the basis for track & trace of your objects, workflow monitoring and process automation.

Due to its big battery even dynamic movements that require a high update rate can be tracked over multiple years.

Use Cases
Track & Trace and optimized material handling of moving assets in industrial environments such as:

  • Material & Goods
  • Load Carrier (Barred box, pallet etc.)
  • Manufactured products
  • Tools

Real-time location data is the enabler for improved process reliability and efficiency through process automation and optimization such as:

  • Storage Automation
  • Elimination of manual scanning
  • Full transparency over material flow (cycle times, idle times etc.)
  • Process Monitoring & Process Mining
