Industrial complexes are fast-moving environments where efficiency, safety, and coordination directly affect productivity. Workers move across large plants, equipment shifts between zones, and materials flow across multiple production stages.

Without real-time visibility, teams often rely on manual coordination, radio calls, or delayed reporting to understand what is happening across the facility.

ION provides precise indoor positioning, real-time asset visibility, and geofencing intelligence that help teams monitor activity, guide workers, and respond faster to operational disruptions - without requiring infrastructure installations.

The result is a facility where movement, assets, and operations become visible in real time.

Key Industrial Solutions Powered by ION

Industrial Mapping Dashboard

Real-Time Asset Visibility

In large industrial environments, valuable time is often lost locating tools, equipment, or materials that constantly move across the floor.

ION enables real-time tracking of assets, so teams always know where critical equipment and resources are located.

Capabilities

Real-time location of tooling, carts, racks, carriers, and vehicles
Centralized visibility through operational dashboards
Navigation guidance to assets across large facilities
Reduced reliance on manual coordination or radio calls

Impact

Faster retrieval of tools and equipment
Reduced downtime caused by misplaced assets
Less wasted motion on the production floor
Improved efficiency for maintenance and production teams

Flow Visibility and Inventory Optimization

Material flow is critical in high-volume industrial environments. When materials accumulate in staging areas or move unpredictably across zones, congestion and inefficiencies quickly appear.

ION allows teams to visualize material movement and work-in-progress inventory across the facility.

Capabilities

Tracking material flow across production zones and lines
Visibility into work-in-progress inventory and buffer areas
Identification of congestion points and dwell-time buildup
Real-time monitoring of staging areas

Impact

Reduced excess inventory on the floor
Better coordination between production stages
Improved lean manufacturing execution
Lower working capital tied up in materials

Faster Response to Operational Disruptions

When production issues occur, teams must quickly identify the location of the problem and coordinate a response.

ION enables faster disruption response by directing teams precisely to where attention is required.

Capabilities

Real-time alerts for production issues and line disruptions
Navigation guidance to the exact location of incidents
Visibility across multiple production zones
Faster coordination for maintenance and support teams

Impact

Reduced downtime during line stops
Faster response to shortages or equipment failures
Improved recovery time during disruptions
Greater throughput stability across production lines

Zone Control and Error Prevention

In complex industrial workflows, materials entering the wrong zone can cause production errors and costly rework.

ION uses geofencing to detect and prevent misrouting before problems move downstream.

Capabilities

Zone-based tracking across workstations and production areas
Geofence alerts when materials enter incorrect zones
Monitoring of production sequences and required operations
Real-time notifications for workflow deviations

Impact

Prevention of incorrect routing of materials or assemblies
Reduced scrap and rework
Stronger quality control across the production line
Better adherence to standardized processes

The ION Platform Behind Industrial Deployments

ION CMS
A centralized dashboard where managers monitor asset locations, configure geofences, and gain real-time facility visibility.

ION SDK
Allows organizations to integrate location intelligence into internal operational systems and dashboards.

Tracking Hardware
Wearable badges, tags, and wristbands provide real-time location visibility for workers, assets, and equipment when required.

Together, these components create a digital layer across the facility that helps teams understand movement, flow, and disruptions as they happen.

For Industrial Technology Integrators

ION can be licensed by system integrators, automation providers, and digital transformation partners deploying solutions across industrial facilities.

Partners can

Perform geomagnetic mapping across facilities
Deploy operational visibility solutions powered by the ION platform
Integrate ION with MES, ERP, or manufacturing systems
Expand their offering with asset and worker tracking solutions

This allows partners to deliver location intelligence as part of Industry 4.0 deployments.

FAQ

How can ION improve efficiency in industrial plants?

ION provides real-time visibility into asset locations, material movement, and operational activity across the facility. Teams can quickly locate equipment, reduce wasted motion, and respond faster to disruptions.

Can ION track equipment and tools across large facilities?

Yes. ION supports tracking of tools, carts, racks, vehicles, and other mobile assets. Teams can instantly locate equipment and navigate directly to its position within the facility.

Does ION require installing infrastructure inside the plant?

No. ION uses geomagnetic indoor positioning, which does not require installing beacons or additional infrastructure. Optional tracking devices can be added for assets or personnel.

Can ION integrate with existing industrial systems?

Yes. ION can integrate with operational platforms such as maintenance systems, dashboards, or manufacturing software to provide location intelligence within existing workflows.
