Track Moving Assets with Passive RFID in Real Time with Zebra

Manual scans and blind spots limit performance. Learn how going beyond RFID data and barcode scanning with actionable insights helps solve challenges.

Track Moving Assets with Passive RFID in Real Time with Zebra

End-to-end Automation, Zero Guesswork with Zebra and KINEXON

Operational speed is no longer optional—but visibility remains a critical gap across manufacturing and logistics. If your teams are still chasing down high-value assets, manually scanning work-in-progress (WIP), or relying on analog processes to track inventory and throughput, your operation is leaving time, money, and performance on the table.

Enter KINEXON OS, a powerful operations platform for moving assets that combines with Zebra’s RFID hardware to digitize, track, and optimize every element of your operation—from the smallest component to the largest workflow. Together, these two technologies help manufacturers move beyond passive data capture to real-time intelligence, automation, and actionable insights.

Turn Every RFID Read into ROI

Traditional processes rely on manual scans, paper-based workflows, or black-box steps where critical data simply disappears. KINEXON OS changes the game by capturing data and transforming it into operational intelligence.

By creating a real-time digital twin and centralizing location and identification data from across technologies—RFID, UWB, BLE, GPS, and barcode scans—KINEXON OS becomes a single source of truth across the shop floor. It goes beyond passive data collection to actively track assets, automate workflows, and analyze movement patterns—unlocking powerful insights that continuously improve operations.

When paired with Zebra’s RFID hardware—including the FX9600, FX7500, and ATR7000—teams gain total visibility and control. No more searching for components or tools. Whether stationary or in motion, assets are automatically tracked and located—minimizing errors and downtime.

The result? Higher value from every read, faster production cycles, and smarter, more confident decisions at every stage.

From RFID Data to Decisions: A Smarter Way to Work

KINEXON’s real advantage lies in how it empowers leaders to use their data. With real-time monitoring and advanced analytics, operations teams can identify bottlenecks before they impact output, set alerts for process violations, and trigger automated responses across connected systems like WMS, ERP, and MES platforms.

Want to make sure just-in-time delivery stays just-in-time? Want to prevent high-value assets from going missing in transit or onsite? KINEXON turns those concerns into automated workflows—giving teams control without extra headcount.

Build the Foundation for AI and Digital Twins

Today’s manufacturers aren’t just building products—they’re building digital twins and setting the stage for AI-driven automation. KINEXON OS and Zebra hardware create the kind of clean, continuous data that modern analytics tools thrive on. By capturing location, movement, and usage data at every stage of the operation, organizations gain a detailed view of their entire supply chain—and a powerful foundation for predictive modeling, simulation, and continuous improvement.

It’s not just about seeing what happened. It’s about knowing what’s happening—and what will happen next.

Real-Time Asset Visibility, Real Business Impact

  • 95% decrease in manual bookings: Automation replaces time-consuming manual data entry—saving hours and eliminating error.
  • 60% fewer production line stops: With real-time location tracking and automated material calls, teams prevent delays before they happen.
  • 2.5% increase in material supply productivity:Accurate, on-time delivery of components supports smoother operations and higher throughput.

Who Benefits Most?

This solution is tailor-made for:

  • Operations leaders looking to boost throughput and reduce downtime without hiring more staff
  • Supply chain managers responsible for just-in-time delivery, inventory accuracy, and asset utilization
  • IT and innovation teams working to integrate automation and AI into legacy systems

Whether you’re in automotive, aerospace, machinery, advanced logistics, or discrete manufacturing, KINEXON and Zebra bring scalable solutions to even the most complex environments.
