How It Works
The Beacon Array creates a high-precision reference frame by emitting synchronized, coded signals from up to 10 fixed points. The tracker receives each signal and uses advanced sensor fusion to calculate millimeter-level 6DoF positioning. By simply plugging in power, the array instantly establishes the signal environment needed to unlock millimeter-level 3D accuracy and true 6DoF orientation.
By mounting the tracker on tools, workers, or robots, you unlock surgical-grade motion tracking—enabling you to error-proof manual assembly, automate complex robotic cells, and gain total spatial transparency over your most critical assets.
