Locationing
ekko locationing enables precise real-time location of materials, assets and means of transport on the shop floor, thus ensuring optimal control and transparency of your processes.
Reduced search times per day
Increasing productivity
Transparent processes
Precise tracking of materials and objects in real time makes it possible to see where they are at any time. At the same time, defined movements or changes in position automatically trigger certain events.
Easily adaptable to growing requirements
Accurate real-time tracking of assets and materials, which increases efficiency
Extracting valuable insights from location data
Seamless integration with various technologies
Step 1
Setting up Geofence Zones
Mesh anchors cover a defined area to create virtual geofence zones. Material carriers are equipped with smart trackers that record their position in real time and monitor movements within geofence zones.
Step 2
Automated Event Triggering
As soon as a material carrier enters or leaves a geofence zone, defined actions are automatically triggered. These events can be individually adapted to your processes and flexibly configured.
ekko uses the omlox standard to integrate various positioning technologies and provide seamless real-time localization solutions for the entire shop floor. Omlox is the first open standard for positioning technologies that combines various systems such as GPS, UWB and RFID in a common infrastructure.
Asset Tracking
With ekko Asset Tracking, assets can be located and monitored in real time.
Process Automation
With ekko process automation, certain actions can be triggered automatically when a material carrier enters or leaves a geofence zone.
Navigation
ekko Navigation helps to shorten routes and find materials quickly.

Cross-device transition of picking and commissioning
For Mobile Devices on the Shopfloor
The ekko finder mobile app makes it easier to search for materials on the shop floor by making smart labels shine in a targeted manner. After scanning an order, the worker is visually shown which material he needs and where it is located. This reduces search times and significantly simplifies the allocation of material.
The ekko finder simplifies the search for materials on the shop floor through an intuitive, visual process. The worker starts by scanning the respective order or material requirement in the Finder app. The associated smart labels then automatically light up and clearly show where the required material is located. The worker can remove the material directly and complete the process by confirming it in the app.

Active support for workers on the shop floor
• Wireless
• Low costs
• Easy to install
• User-oriented design
• Individual labeling of e-paper displays
• Easy scaling
Every 1.25 seconds, a cyclical query runs as to whether an LED should light up or not. Accordingly, it takes a maximum of 1.25 seconds until an LED lights up or goes out.
Every 20 seconds → In case of rarer changes, the displays switch to a kind of standby state, so that the gateway's response time is faster for more frequent changes.

The data is currently being exchanged via a rest interface. In addition, we are currently testing a new tool that makes integrations around 50% easier and faster to implement.
We have various adapter solutions in our portfolio. These allow simple and cost-effective installation on various shelf shapes. The e-labels can then be “clicked in” anywhere.
Most customers achieve ROI in less than 24 months, and in some cases even less than 12 months.
Battery life depends on usage: With 1,000 picks per day, with LED use only, the battery lasts longer, while with 1,000 picks per day, including updating the label content, the battery life is correspondingly shorter.
