- **Production operator tracking**: Automate operator log-in through UWB presence detection in production cells, eliminating the need for manual data entry and enabling accurate cycle time assessment in lean manufacturing environments.
124+
- **Maintenance equipment management**: Track tools, vehicles, and equipment assigned to maintenance personnel, ensuring assets are returned to their designated storage areas and improving team effectiveness without manual reporting.
125+
- **Access control automation**: Enable hands-free portal openings where authorized personnel with UWB-enabled devices are automatically granted access as they approach entry points, while unauthorized individuals are denied.
126+
- **Machine safety systems**: Implement dual authentication through proximity detection for machinery operation, enforcing security protocols when anomalies are detected after operator intervention.
127+
- **Anti-collision systems**: Enhance material handling equipment like forklifts and pallet trucks with UWB technology to detect operators or obstacles in blind spots, preventing collisions that might not be visible through other sensing technologies.
