RTLS Pro and Kinexon OS Unite to Drive Smart Factory Automation

Kinexon OS and RTLS Pro Merge to Build Self-Optimizing Industrial Smart Factories

Munich, Germany – July 19, 2026 / KINEXON GmbH /

KINEXON GmbH has launched a unified platform combining RTLS Pro and Kinexon OS, marking a significant development for industrial manufacturing and logistics operations. The integrated solution brings together hardware and software under a single architecture, enabling facilities to deploy Real-Time Locating Systems capable of supporting fully automated, self-optimizing smart factory environments at scale. The release reflects a deliberate move by KINEXON to address the growing complexity of industrial operations that require continuous, live visibility across every layer of the production floor.

A Unified Platform for Industrial Intelligence

The combined offering pairs RTLS Pro – KINEXON’s mesh-based locating hardware infrastructure – with Kinexon OS, the software layer that processes and acts on location data in real time. Together, the two components deliver what KINEXON describes as an end-to-end operational intelligence system, connecting assets, personnel, and workflows across facilities without relying on fragmented, third-party integrations.

RTLS Pro and Kinexon OS are designed to communicate natively, reducing the configuration overhead typically associated with deploying locating systems in large manufacturing environments. The RTLS Pro mesh network provides continuous, high-precision tracking coverage across complex facility layouts, while Kinexon OS translates that positional data into structured, actionable information that operations teams can use to monitor throughput, detect bottlenecks, and trigger automated responses without manual intervention.

Real-Time Locating as the Foundation for Smart Factory Operations

KINEXON positions the unified platform as foundational infrastructure for facilities pursuing digital transformation in production and logistics. Rather than treating location data as a reporting tool, the platform is built to feed directly into operational decision-making loops – enabling machines, workflows, and systems to respond dynamically to conditions on the floor as they develop.

“Real-Time Locating Systems are the digital nervous system of the smart factory,” said Dr. Oliver Trinchera, of KINEXON. “With RTLS Pro and Kinexon OS working as a unified platform, we give industrial operations the live intelligence they need to move from reactive management to truly self-optimizing environments.”

The self-optimizing capability is central to how KINEXON frames the platform’s value. In practice, this means facilities can configure automated responses – such as rerouting material flows, adjusting resource allocation, or flagging process deviations – based on real-time positional triggers rather than scheduled reporting cycles or manual observation.

Built for Scale Across Manufacturing and Logistics

The platform is engineered to operate across large-scale industrial environments, including warehouses, assembly lines, and distribution centers where operational complexity and the volume of tracked assets are both high. KINEXON designed RTLS Pro with a mesh architecture specifically to maintain signal integrity and location accuracy in environments that present significant infrastructure challenges, such as metal-dense production floors or facilities with irregular layouts.

Kinexon OS serves as the intelligence and orchestration layer in this setup, providing operators with a centralized interface through which they can monitor facility-wide status, configure automation rules, and integrate location data with existing enterprise systems. The architecture supports interoperability with broader manufacturing execution and supply chain management platforms, allowing the locating layer to feed into wider operational frameworks rather than functioning as an isolated system.

The unified release of Real-Time Locating Systems hardware and software also simplifies procurement and deployment for industrial operators, who previously had to manage separate vendor relationships for tracking infrastructure and operational software. By consolidating these under a single platform, KINEXON aims to reduce time-to-value for facilities deploying location intelligence for the first time, as well as for those upgrading from legacy tracking systems.
