ZeroKey Marries 3D Location Accuracy with AI to Redefine Factory Measurement Intelligence
ZeroKey, a Canadian leader in ultra-precise real-time location systems (RTLS), has unveiled OmniVisor AI, an artificial intelligence platform designed to transform millimeter-accurate spatial data into actionable intelligence for smart manufacturing operations.
Building on the company’s Quantum RTLS technology, renowned as the world’s most accurate industrial location system with 1.5 mm precision, OmniVisor AI integrates reinforcement learning and large language model (LLM) architectures to deliver what ZeroKey describes as ‘real-time, holistic intelligence’ across the factory floor.
“Factories powered by Quantum RTLS generate thousands of highly contextual data points about the state of the factory—from material flows and assembly operations to the movement of high‑value assets,” said Matthew Lowe, CEO & Founder of ZeroKey. “Until now, the value of that data was limited to bespoke analyses. OmniVisor AI removes that chokepoint. By combining reinforcement learning and large language models, it processes more information faster than any human analyst and delivers real‑time, holistic intelligence that factors in the dynamic state of the factory.”
From Spatial Data to Smart Decisions
ZeroKey positions OmniVisor AI as a ‘value-first’ platform, addressing practical challenges on the shop floor rather than pursuing AI for its own sake. By combining the continuous data stream from Quantum RTLS with inference models, the system supports faster decision-making and operational optimization at every level—from work cells to entire production lines.
A suite of AI agents, along with AI-native tool calling and Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration, enables what ZeroKey calls the equivalent of a ‘dedicated process engineer’ available to every workstation. The platform’s agentic architecture can analyze spatial dynamics, material handling efficiency, and process flow variations to suggest or even autonomously implement adjustments that enhance throughput and yield.
A Factory That Thinks in 3D
At the core of OmniVisor AI’s capability is its fusion of 3D spatial awareness and AI-driven inference. Quantum RTLS’s 1.5-mm-accurate 3D data provides a detailed picture of how materials, tools, and personnel move within the production environment. OmniVisor AI builds on this foundation, using machine learning to detect deviations, predict process bottlenecks, and recommend optimal responses—effectively enabling a factory that “thinks” in three dimensions.
By continuously learning from live operational data, the system can identify inefficiencies or risks in real time, driving measurable improvements in throughput, yield, and cost efficiency.
Redefining Industrial AI
OmniVisor AI marks a significant step in ZeroKey’s evolution from a precision RTLS provider to a broader industrial AI solutions leader. The company’s Quantum RTLS technology is already deployed by more than 10% of the Fortune Global 500, across industries including automotive, aerospace, and advanced manufacturing.
By integrating its proven RTLS platform with advanced AI capabilities, ZeroKey aims to redefine what smart factories can achieve – enabling self-adapting, continuously optimized operations where every millimeter of motion contributes to productivity gains.
