NXP Semiconductors Unveils Omlox Starter Kit for Scalable Industrial Positioning
A New Standard for Real-Time Location Systems
With the launch of its latest omlox Starter Kit, NXP Semiconductors takes a decisive step toward simplifying and accelerating the deployment of Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) in industrial environments. Developed in collaboration with SynchronicIT and Flowcate, the solution delivers a complete, ready-to-deploy ecosystem, combining hardware, software and analytics into one unified platform.
At the core of the kit is the new Trimension® SR048 Ultra-Wideband (UWB) SoC, engineered to provide high-precision positioning even in complex industrial settings. Together with the MCX W72 wireless MCU, the platform enables accurate, real-time tracking and positioning across a wide range of use cases.
Turning Complexity into Deployment Readiness
Industrial RTLS adoption has long been challenged by fragmented technologies and concerns about vendor lock-in. The omlox standard addresses these issues with a truly open, interoperable framework, allowing different technologies and vendors to work seamlessly together.
The new Starter Kit translates this promise into reality. It enables companies to move quickly from evaluation to pilot projects and full-scale deployments, without the need to redesign systems or replace hardware. From asset tracking and robot navigation to worker safety zones and workflow optimization, the solution provides a flexible foundation for modern industrial operations.
From Data to Actionable Intelligence
The strength of the omlox Starter Kit lies not only in precise positioning, but in its ability to transform location data into meaningful insights.
UWB anchors and tags from SynchronicIT deliver real-time positioning data
A powerful localization engine ensures fast setup and scalable performance
Flowcate’s DeepHub® middleware converts data into actionable intelligence
This integrated approach allows companies to go beyond tracking, enabling smarter decisions, optimized workflows and improved operational efficiency.
Built for the Demands of Industry
The Trimension SR048 is designed with industrial realities in mind. It supports multiple UWB ranging methods, including TDoA, RToF and DL-TDoA, ensuring flexibility across different deployment scenarios. Its low-power architecture enables compact, battery-powered tags, while robust performance across temperatures from -40°C to 115°C ensures reliability even in harsh environments.
Combined with support for standards such as omlox air and future compatibility with emerging ecosystems, the platform is built to evolve alongside industrial requirements.
Accelerating the Future of Industrial Positioning
As demand for precise, real-time location intelligence continues to grow, solutions that combine openness, scalability and ease of deployment will define the next phase of industrial digitalization.
With the omlox Starter Kit, NXP Semiconductors demonstrates how open standards and integrated technologies can transform RTLS from a complex undertaking into a practical, future-ready solution, ready to deliver value from day one.
