Kinexon Industries GmbH
"Connect and automate operations in production and logistics"
Munich-based IoT platform company providing UWB-based RTLS and AMR/AGV fleet management for automotive, aerospace, and logistics manufacturers; $130M raised.
Kinexon Industries GmbH is a Munich-based industrial IoT and real-time location services (RTLS) company founded in 2012 by Dr. Alexander Hüttenbrink and Dr. Oliver Trinchera, both former researchers affiliated with the Technical University of Munich. Kinexon's industries division was established in 2015 after the company's sports tracking technology—originally developed for athlete performance analysis at the Allianz Arena—was adapted for manufacturing and logistics environments.
The company's core offering, KINEXON OS, is a central, vendor-agnostic RTLS and automation software platform that captures real-time location data from multiple technologies including UWB (ultra-wideband), BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy), RFID, and GPS to generate a live digital twin of shopfloor and warehouse operations. KINEXON OS includes a low-code/no-code interface enabling users to build automation workflows without extensive programming expertise.
KINEXON offers two hardware product lines: KINEXON RTLS Pro, providing location accuracy to within 10 cm at up to 100 Hz update rates and tag battery life up to 5 years; and KINEXON RTLS Mesh, enabling location accuracy to 30 cm with rapid wireless deployment (10,000 sqm coverable in one day) and 60% reduced installation time. A third solution, KINEXON AMR & AGV Fleet Management, provides centralized, vendor-independent orchestration of autonomous mobile robots based on the VDA 5050 communication standard, supporting BMW, Siemens, Airbus, Continental, and MTU Aero Engines among its 600+ global customers.
In 2024, KINEXON was named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Indoor Location Services. The company has raised over $130 million in total funding, tracking 50,000+ objects daily and delivering $10M+ in annual savings for select customers. The company employs 200+ people across 30 nationalities at offices in Munich (Schellingstr. 35, 80799 München) and Chicago. Kinexon holds ISO 9001, ISO 27001, and TISAX certifications.
