Indoor & Outdoor Geofencing for the Factory Floor

Put location to work with geofences, dynamic safety zones, and real-time operational alerts across your plant and yard.

geofencing

Automatically trigger the right action at the right moment based on where people and assets move. Use geofences to draw virtual perimeters around real-world areas of your facility — production cells, hazardous zones, staging areas — and trigger alerts and actions when tracked assets, vehicles, location tracking tags, and personnel enter, exit, or dwell within a zone.

Real-Time Safety Alerts, Material-Flow Triggers, Compliance Zoning, and More

Geofences can be any size and configured with intelligent logic that prompts a specific action when an entity interacts with the area. Inpixon's RTLS platform and location technology solutions give you the tools to power demanding geofencing use cases across complex manufacturing environments. Define and update geofenced zones on a live digital twin of your facility and precisely track people and assets with our RTLS to automate alerts, actions, and material-flow events — and feed them straight into SAP, MES, and ERP.

With Inpixon, you can harness geofencing to improve worker safety, protect production, and boost operational efficiency.

You can also enable dynamic safety zones between two mobile entities — tracking the proximity of vehicle/worker, vehicle/vehicle, or worker/heavy machinery — to deliver urgent warnings or trigger automatic responses, such as alerting a worker who is dangerously close to an active machine or automatically pausing the machine.

  • Use geofences to track material flow across the production process in real-time and ensure resources are in their intended location. 
  • Leverage geofences to streamline industrial processes by triggering actions depending on how tracked entities travel.  
  • Receive real-time alerts when certain assets and equipment enter geofenced zones; more quickly narrow the location of items to zoned areas, see how long they’ve been there and identify inefficient recourse utilization. 
  • Trigger timely notifications, messages, and surveys to personnel based on where they travel. 
  • Quickly identify potential theft with real-time alerts for when assets enter or leave areas.  
  • Draw geofences around restricted or hazardous areas and receive real-time alerts when people or smartphones enter, exit or dwell too long in areas they shouldn’t be, to prevent digital distraction, safety incidents or security breaches.

  • Draw geofences around restricted or hazardous areas and receive real-time alerts when people or assets enter, exit or dwell too long in areas they shouldn’t be to prevent potential safety incidents.  
  • Use geofences to track assets and personnel across the mining process in real-time and ensure recourses are in their intended location. 
  • Leverage geofences to streamline mining processes by triggering actions depending on how tracked entities travel. 
  • Receive real-time alerts when certain assets and equipment enter geofenced zones; more quickly narrow the location of items to zoned areas, see how long they’ve been there and identify inefficient recourse utilization.
  • Trigger timely notifications, messages, and surveys to personnel based on where they travel.
  • Quickly identify potential theft with real-time alerts for when assets enter or leave areas.

  • Draw geofences around high-security areas and receive alerts when people, smartphones and wireless devices enter restricted zones; use location data to trigger MDM policies.
  • Automate personalized messages and surveys to employees when they enter, leave or dwell in a geofenced zone. 
  • Leverage geofences to gather insights on how employees travel, use gathered insights to improve experiences. 
  • Create geofences for visibility of people and assets as they pass through predefined zones. 
  • Quickly identify potential theft with real-time alerts of when assets enter or leave areas.

Benefits

Protect Production and Material Flow

Create geofences for real-time visibility of people and assets as they move through production cells, staging areas, and restricted zones. Trigger alerts and automated actions based on location and dwell time to keep material moving and the floor running safely.

Identify Potential Safety and Security Threats

Instantly know when a person, device or location tracking tag enters or leaves a hazardous or restricted area and trigger alerts, warnings and responses. Identify potential theft when assets leave certain zones. Harness location-aware visibility to prevent workplace accidents by automating dynamic safety zones between two mobile entities.

Improve Efficiency and Streamline Workflows

Use geofencing to track assets, materials, inventory and more across operational processes. Using connecting technologies and leveraging data analytics, you can realize workflow efficiencies. Uncover data patterns and trends that enable you to optimize your physical space and make more informed business decisions.

The Building Blocks

Your solution is unique to your business. That’s why we’ve built our platform to be flexible and dynamic, allowing you to integrate with third party applications to solve your unique problems.

RTLS Hardware (Anchors & Tags)

Our RTLS hardware portfolio, including UWB and long-range chirp anchors paired with rugged asset and personnel tags — locates every part, tool, vehicle, and worker across your plant and yard with high accuracy and low latency, even in harsh industrial conditions. This is the sensing layer that makes precise geofencing possible.

Location Engine

The location engine turns raw signals from anchors and tags into precise, real-time coordinates and zone events. It continuously evaluates where each tracked entity is relative to your geofences — detecting every enter, exit, and dwell — so the right action fires the moment it's needed.

RTLS Platform & Digital Twin

Draw and update geofenced zones directly on a live digital twin of your facility. Configure intelligent enter/exit/dwell logic, visualize the real-time location of people and assets, and replay historical movement — all from a single software interface built for the factory floor.

Enterprise Integrations (SAP and Other ERP/MES Systems)

Connect geofence triggers and location events to the systems that run your operation. Open APIs link real-time ground truth with SAP and other ERP and MES systems, and with automated workflows, so a zone event becomes a posting, an alert, or a corrective action without manual steps.

Dynamic Safety Zones (Tag-to-Tag Ranging)

Enable direct proximity sensing between two moving entities — worker/vehicle, vehicle/vehicle, or worker/heavy machinery — independent of fixed infrastructure. When a safety zone is breached, the system delivers an urgent warning or triggers an automatic response, such as pausing an active machine.
