INTRANAV, an Inpixon Company Extends omlox Standard with Chirp 

INTRANAV, an Inpixon company has extended their offering with Chirp technology in the omlox community, a standard for locating technologies which enables unified access to location data. In April 2021, INTRANAV had expanded their RTLS portfolio, including their INTRANAV.IO interface, by joining the PROFIBUS | PROFINET Organization, a prerequisite for being a member of omlox. Omlox is hosted, developed, and promoted by PROFIBUS | PROFINET International (PI), which is a community with more than 1700 members worldwide, including leading automation suppliers. 

INTRANAV, an Inpixon company now plans to extend the omlox standard with an additional RF location technology in 2023 – Chirp Spread Spectrum. It’s expected that INTRANAV, an Inpixon company will add omlox-certified devices by Q1/Q2 2023, expanding their offering in the location and IIoT market. 

Chirp complements the existing and supported technologies in the omlox standard with a best-in-class mix of ranging (of 500+ meters), accuracy (of 1-2 meters), and stronger reliability, in optimal deployment conditions. Many use cases, such as underground mines, manufacturing and livestock applications benefit from this feature mix.  

INTRANAV, an Inpixon company’s RTLS IoT platform INTRANAV.IO connects and processes location data while integrating with industry-relevant systems like ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), WMS (Warehouse Management Systems) or MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems), allowing organizations to make data driven decisions and optimize their operations.  

With the open RTLS standard omlox, RTLS networks and technologies from a variety of vendors can be purchased together. Therefore, multiple positioning applications can be mapped and integrated simultaneously using a single infrastructure, all orchestrated via the INTRANAV.IO platform.  

Because the same infrastructure is being used, it lowers the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), enabling easy integration of different applications and making it an attractive option for customers. The omlox community is a collaboration effort with some of the most well-known hardware and software companies contributing their experience, increasing the value of solutions offered.  

The benefits of being part of the omlox community include offering seamless indoor & outdoor tracking across technology boundaries and standardizing open interfaces which paves the way for smart factories. Omlox makes solutions open and interoperable, making it suitable for any customers fearing a vendor lock-in. Solutions can also be sold to customers who have already invested in omlox-compatible RTLS products, widening INTRANAV’S available market.
