Server racks are designed to maximize performance density, not assembly accessibility. As a result, many critical operations take place in confined space with limited visibility.
Why confined spaces increase error risk
Inside a rack, operators face:
- line-of-sight obstruction by components
- difficult access angles
- poor or inconsistent lighting
- overlapping work zones
These conditions significantly increase the risk of assembly errors
Why traditional vision systems struggle
Camera-based systems often fail in confined rack environments due to:
- occlusion by components
- reflections from metal surfaces
- sensitivity to lighting conditions
Infrared Real-Time Location System (RTLS) for confined spaces
nexonar uses infrared tracking technology that remains reliable even when tools are partially hidden or lighting conditions change. Multiple trackers can be mounted on a tool, allowing the system to work as long as one tracker is visible.
