1 Introduction
The KINEXON ePaper Tag is the Ultra-Wideband basic component for a paperless material and goods handling in
industry. The ePaper solution combines high precision UWB localization technology with smart process
visualization. The KINEXON ePaper Tag can be placed on workpieces and load carriers without leaving any residue
to track their entire value-added process. In addition, an integrated display automatically informs about production
steps that have already been completed and those that are still pending. As a result, all information is digitized,
repeated and printing processes are eliminated. KINEXON ePaper solution is flexible and provides complete control
and maximum flexibility for dynamic production.
The combination of high precision real time localization and smart visualization is the key to a paperless
production. There are various potential use cases such as:
ePaper-based workflow-instructions for shop floor employees.
Real-time interaction through configurable button (e.g. signal for replenishment).
Dynamic labeling with current status of the product or material.
Digitization of all production & process relevant information.
