Table of Content

KINEXON Mesh Tag

Cost-efficient and precise real-time localization & motion sensing.

The Mesh Tag provides the basis for searching and finding objects, workflow monitoring, and process automation.

Due to its small size, low weight, robustness, long battery life, replaceable battery option and the low cost, the Mesh Tag meets all requirements for areawide usage in industrial environments.

The Mesh Tag works best with the KINEXON platform, KINEXON OS: the open Industrial-Internet-of-things (IIoT) platform for real-time localization and analysis.

The Mesh Tag comes with an optionally available tag holder, providing permanent and non-permanent mounting options, for agile use cases.

Use cases

Search & Find and optimized material handling of moving assets in industrial environments such as:

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

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

• Instant Search & Find
• Storage Automation
• Elimination of manual scanning
• Full transparency over material flow (cycle times, idle times etc.)

TAG HOLDER
A tag holder for non-permanent attachment solutions to assets offers high flexibility. Tags can either be mounted directly to assets permanently using:

• Double-sided tape
• Zip tie

Or non-permanently with the tag holder, which itself can be mounted with:

• M4 screws
• Double-sided tape
• Zip tie
