July 5, 2016 – Ubisense Group plc, a provider of enterprise location intelligence solutions, and Bosch Rexroth, specialists in drive and control technologies, have joined forces to launch a solution which combines Bosch Rexroth’s Nexo Cordless Nutrunner and Ubisense’s Smart Factory solutions. The solution is designed to offer real-time tracking of tools (Tool Location) and tightening operations (Tool Control).
Ubisense’s readers detect the location of tagged Bosch Rexroth tools on the assembly lines at all times, avoiding tools being lost or misplaced with the associated disruption and need to repurchase. The solution also saves time spent on searching for tools, re-compiling toolkits and means that less time is needed to book-in and book-out tools. Ubisense’s technology provides accurate data in real-time that improves and standardises reporting, plus enables the early identification of activity, such as desynchronised delivery, and the impact of re-ranking.
