ZeroKey’s Quantum RTLS™: Converting Physical Processes into Digital Events
At our core, ZeroKey delivers hyper-accurate location awareness to the factory floor with our Quantum RTLS™ 2.0 technology. Here’s what sets us apart:
- Millimetre-Level Precision
Quantum RTLS digitizes real-time physical processes in 3D with 1.5 mm accuracy, capturing the precise location of materials, tools, assets, and even human-centric processes. - Real-Time Visibility & Control
Traditional factories regularly experience avoidable downtime, line stoppages, assembly errors, and safety incidents due to digitization gaps and blindspots in processes. Quantum RTLS provides complete real-time insight into manufacturing workflows, enabling instant detection, prevention, or correction of errors and inefficiencies—faster than any human could and leveraging more data points than any human could consider. - Holistic Integration
Our advanced, industrial positioning system integrates seamlessly with PLC and MES platforms through our open API, converting real-time location data into actionable digital events that reduce errors, improve first-pass yield, and boost efficiency across entire organizations. - Industry-Leading Accuracy
Unlike legacy RTLS systems such as Ultra-Wideband, Bluetooth®, or RFID, Quantum RTLS uses proprietary ultrasonic technology purpose-built for industrial environments, enabling over 100x more positioning accuracy than incumbent solutions.
By providing unparalleled visibility into frontline operations, ZeroKey’s Quantum RTLS empowers AI-driven decision-making at the factory level—streamlining processes, eliminating waste, and unlocking new opportunities for automation and innovation.
What’s Next?
Being recognized by the Innovation World Cup® Series is both an honor and an incredible platform for continued growth. We look forward to showcasing our solution at HANNOVER MESSE 2025 and exploring future partnerships, collaborations, and deployments that will drive the next wave of smart manufacturing worldwide.
Stay Tuned!
If you’re attending HANNOVER MESSE 2025, we’d love to connect in person. Visit us at the Tech Transfer Stage, Hall 2, B02, during the Grand Finals Pitch on April 1, or stop by our booth (Hall 2, Stand C10) to see Quantum RTLS in action.
We extend our sincere gratitude to the Innovation World Cup® Series for this recognition and to our dedicated team, partners, and supporters who have been instrumental in bringing our vision to life. Together, we’re reshaping the future of manufacturing—one millimeter at a time.
