Rapid installation localization solution nexonar NEO

for vehicles

Overview
nexonar NEO is a next‑generation Real‑Time Location System (RTLS) providing real‑time 6 degrees‑of‑freedom (6‑DoF) positioning to ensure critical tightenings are performed at the right place and time. The system prevents missing screws, part damage and leakage risks while offering precise operator guidance and seamless integration with the Desoutter ecosystem.

Key capabilities

• 6‑DoF real‑time tracking of tools and parts (position + orientation)
• Sub‑millimetre positioning accuracy and resolution (example: up to 0.1 mm in X/Y/Z)
• High frame‑rate updates for dynamic processes (up to 163 Hz)
• Wireless, stable tracking based on infrared technology
• Scalable multi‑camera architecture to extend coverage and redundancy
• Flexible camera placement to match production layout
• Intuitive operator guidance: on‑screen visuals, hotspots and step‑based workflows

Why nexonar NEO?
nexonar NEO continuously monitors tool and part position and provides visual guidance to verify each critical tightening. The solution reduces quality escapes (missing screws, damaged parts, leakage), supports complex variant management and accelerates deployment using familiar Desoutter interfaces.

Main benefits

• Fast implementation: process and asset information load directly to connected assets without manual recipe creation
• Reduced training time: consistent UI with Desoutter software
• Modular feature management: enable only required features via the Desoutter platform

Typical applications

• Battery pack assembly
• Automotive seat assembly
• Engine and powertrain module assembly
• Multi‑step workbenches and variant‑rich assembly stations requiring high precision

Typical industry challenges addressed

• Accurate 3‑D localization for critical tightenings
• Verification in crowded or variant assemblies (detect screws 10 mm apart when integrated with nutrunner)
• Operator guidance and process enforcement for complex sequences

Integration & ecosystem
NEO integrates into the Desoutter ecosystem (cameras, trackers, adapters, software modules and controllers) to deliver a complete RTLS guidance solution and supports loading process information from connected assets for rapid configuration.
