Four in a Row: Inpixon RTLS+AI Recognized as "Industrial IoT Product of the Year"

The Inpixon RTLS+AI platform has once again been honored by IoT Evolution World. This consecutive recognition validates the platform’s core approach: bridging the physical and digital gap by capturing real-time location data and converting it into immediate action on the shop floor.

The Inpixon RTLS+AI platform has received the 2026 Industrial IoT Product of the Year Award, presented by IoT Evolution World and announced by TMC in conjunction with its partner Crossfire Media. Now in its fourth year, the award recognizes products and solutions that advance the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) across manufacturing, intralogistics, energy, infrastructure, mining and industrial operations. The official announcement of the winners is available here.

Technological Relevance in a Rapidly Evolving Market

The continuity of this recognition underscores the platform's relevance in a highly competitive and dynamic market environment:

"Inpixon RTLS+AI for Industrial IoT is a worthy recipient of a 2026 Industrial IoT Product of the Year Award," said Rich Tehrani, CEO of TMC and Group Editor-in-Chief for IoT Evolution World. "It is an outstanding representative of the diverse range of innovation driving the multi-billion dollar IoT market today. It is my honor to congratulate Inpixon for their innovative work and superior contribution to the rapidly evolving IoT industry."

From Physical Visibility to Intelligent Action

Traditionally, capturing the actual physical reality on the shop floor in real time has been a major blind spot for industrial teams. The Inpixon RTLS+AI platform solves this dual challenge.

"For industrial teams, a major hurdle has always been reliably capturing data from the physical world where the work actually happens. Our RTLS technology provides that essential physical visibility," noted David Almström, CEO of Inpixon. "But capturing the data is only step one. The critical next layer is transforming that raw location data into operational context, allowing the system to pro-actively detect bottlenecks, material flow disruptions, or process errors. This recognition validates our focus on solving both sides of the challenge—delivering both the precise physical data and the intelligence needed to optimize workflows and drive measurable ROI."

Architecture: The Two-Layer Advantage of the Inpixon RTLS+AI Platform

The platform bridges the gap between hardware and software through a powerful, two-step approach:

• The Physical Layer (Data Capture): Location-aware sensors digitize the facility, capturing the real-time movement of assets, vehicles, and materials.

• The Intelligence Layer (Data into Action): Operational RTLS applications combined with askPixi—Inpixon’s location-aware AI—contextualize this data to actively monitor and optimize production flows.

By systematically linking physical location with operational workflows, industrial teams achieve reproducible optimizations:

• Streamlined Workflows: Significant reduction of search times and manual tracking efforts on the shop floor.

• Proactive Error Prevention: Early detection of bottlenecks, material flow disruptions, and process deviations before they impact production.

• Full Process Transparency and Compliance: Comprehensive, end-to-end traceability across manufacturing and intralogistics facilities.

• Empowered Shop Floor Teams: Delivery of real-time, data-driven insights directly to workers, enabling faster and better-informed decisions.
