Herbert Wegmann, Head of Industrial Communication and Identification at Siemens: "The real-time radio location solutions are an important addition to our offering in the field of industrial identification and therefore to our Digital Enterprise portfolio.
Agilion is a provider of industrial radio positioning solutions in the fields of production, logistics and maintenance. According to Siemens, the company is a pioneer for real-time locating systems (RTLS) in the ultra-wide frequency spectrum.
Real-Time Locating Systems can be used for various applications. In production, for example, they enable precise monitoring of production progress and a transparent material flow. Completely new processes in production, material flow control and logistics are also possible - for example in conjunction with automated guided vehicles (AGVs) or mobile robots.
Agilion, with around 60 employees, will be integrated into the Industrial Communication and Identification business of Siemens' Process Industries and Drives Division. The companies will be exhibiting their joint offering at the Hannover Messe in Hall 7, Stand A23 and at the Siemens main stand in Hall 9, Stand D35.
