WiTTRA, a trailblazer in the Internet of Things (IoT), proudly declares its recent inclusion in PROFIBUS & PROFINET International (PI), the foremost global automation community boasting over 1700 members.

Since its establishment in 1989, PI has played a pivotal role in championing worldwide automation technology, overseeing critical technologies that are integral to the automation industry. PI's commitment to innovation is further demonstrated with the incorporation of omlox, setting the standard for locating technologies and paving the way for precise real-time indoor localization systems.

omlox, an open standard, provides interoperable interfaces for a unified localization system, empowering industries to use a singular infrastructure with diverse applications from various providers. By leveraging the same upper layer infrastructure, omlox significantly reduces the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), allowing seamless integration of different applications within a shared ecosystem.

WiTTRA, committed to open standards, employs a unified gateway providing infrastructure for flexible deployment, enabling third-party sensors to seamlessly become part of the ecosystem.

WiTTRA's patented technology ensures a reliable and accurate positioning system. The technology has been a game-changer for IoT, enabling quick, low-cost Proof of Value installations that directly link to business value. The Total Cost of Ownership for WiTTRA technology is 70 – 80% less than competing technologies, marking a significant shift in the economics of IoT deployment.

WiTTRA's decision to align with PI and adopt omlox showcases its unwavering dedication to driving innovation. Warwick Taws, CTO at WiTTRA, expresses enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, "We are thrilled to join PI, an organisation at the forefront of automation technology. It aligns perfectly with our commitment to driving innovation and leveraging our unique positioning technology."

WiTTRA's collaboration with PI and integration of omlox reinforces its standing as an industry leader, committed to pushing the boundaries of IoT technologies and contributing to the evolution of industrial automation.
