OXO / Digital poka-yoke
Every step, in the right place and the right order.
OXO follows every tool, part and operator to within a millimetre and verifies each step as it happens.
A missed step looks exactly like a good one.
A missed step does not announce itself. It leaves the station looking exactly like a good one, reaches the customer, and comes back as a warranty claim with no record of what actually happened.
Traditional error-proofing answers this with steel: fixtures that only fit one way, jigs for every variant, tooling rebuilt whenever the product changes. It works. It is also expensive, inflexible, and slower to change than the products it guards.
What it replaces
Hard fixtures, a poka-yoke jig for every variant, paper work instructions, and the assumption that a completed cycle means a correct one.
The questions every assembly station has to answer.
- Did the tightener do its work at the right point?
- Was the part placed in the right location?
- Was a continuous operation actually carried out with the moving tool?
- Is work that needs real-time tracking being done the way it should be?
Every one of these has the same traditional answer: trust the operator and inspect afterwards. OXO answers them while the work is happening.
The glove, the tool and the part.
OXO watches. Infrared sensing follows the tool, or the operator’s own hand, with millimetre precision, and the station knows continuously, not at the end, whether the right work is happening in the right place. A step turns green when it is genuinely done. It does not turn green because somebody pressed a button.

Workpiece
A step passes when the tracked point has stayed in the taught region long enough.
A new variant is a drawing on a photograph, not a new fixture.
What the operator sees.
It shows you where to go.
The current step is lit on the assembly, the step list marks it NOW, and the live position reads out in millimetres.
It stops you going to the wrong place.
Move to a step that is not the current one and the whole screen washes red. No small warning icon in a corner, and nothing to dismiss.
It stops you repeating work.
Return to a step that has already passed and OXO says so, instead of letting you torque a fastener twice.
And it tracks the hand, not only the tool.
In these screens the tracked object is a glove. Work done by hand is verified the same way as work done with a tool.
OXO also records how long each warning stood. A warning up for eight seconds is a different story from one that flickered, and only the duration separates them.
Ten things one station does on every cycle.
Operator guidance
The next step, lit on the real assembly.
Visual tracking
Position followed continuously, not sampled.
Correct tool usage
The right tool, at the right point, for long enough.
100% inspection
Every cycle verified, not a sampled batch.
Step-by-step assembly tracking
Each step passes on its own evidence.
Position verification
Inside the taught region, or it does not pass.
Position analysis
Durations, approach times and retries, per step.
Operator and tool verification
Who did it, and what they did it with.
Configurable software
New variant, new program. No new hardware.
Industrial communication
Talks to the equipment already on the bench.
Every OXO station is configured for its job: steps, layout, integrations and features change with your process.
Most systems tell you a part failed. OXO tells you what happened.
Every run leaves a record an engineer can act on:
- every step, with how long it took and how long the tool took to reach it
- every retry, every warning, and how long each one stood
- torque results, camera verdicts, and any device event that arrived when nothing was waiting for it: strong evidence that the line and the program disagree about where they are
- the reason the run ended, not only the result
- and what produced it: which program, which version, which calibration
That last one matters more than it sounds. Which calibration produced this part has to be answerable a year later, by which time the calibration has been re-solved and the program edited. OXO records the version, not just the name.
Records filter by program, operator, date, result and serial, and export to CSV and Excel. Each run also lands as a single readable file that can be attached to a quality report by someone with no access to the station.
Retention is deliberate. Run records are quality evidence, so the station keeps them indefinitely unless an administrator decides otherwise, and it names and counts exactly what it is about to delete before deleting anything.
Built for a shop floor.
Battery-free, wireless tags.
Nothing to charge, nothing to swap mid-shift, no tool out of service because a marker went flat.
Two interfaces, one system.
Large touch targets for gloved hands on the line; a dense engineering interface for whoever builds the programs.
Sign in with a badge.
RFID or password, with operator, engineer and administrator roles deciding what each person can reach.
Turkish and English.
Switchable at any moment without losing your place.
Full-screen panel mode.
For a station PC with no keyboard.
Controlled programs.
Only programs an administrator has released can run, automatic switching included.
Backups on a schedule.
Restorable, and refused while a run is in progress.

Will it cover my bench?
Enter your bench size. The drawing places it on the base of one optical unit’s field of view, at the published 2500 mm.
Fits within one optical unit’s field of view.
Field of view at 2500 mm from the sensing bar. Actual coverage depends on mounting height and line of sight; we confirm it on your layout.
Questions buyers ask
How accurate is OXO?
Position detection accuracy is up to 1 mm, with an update rate of 30 Hz or higher. We do not claim more than that.
How large an area does one optical unit cover?
At 2500 mm the XY field of view is 2710 mm × 2200 mm, a view volume of 4.55 m³. A second optical unit doubles the field of view.
Do I need a new fixture for every variant?
No. A new variant is a new program: you photograph the assembly, draw over each feature and link the shapes into a sequence. No new hardware.
Can OXO track a hand, not only a tool?
Yes. A battery-free tag on a work glove is tracked the same way as a tag on a tool, so manual work is verified the same way as tool work.
Which torque tools does it work with?
Tools that speak Open Protocol: Atlas Copco, Bosch Rexroth, SmartTool and generic Open Protocol controllers. OXO can switch the tool’s parameter set and enable or disable it per step.
Does OXO use AI?
No. OXO measures position with infrared sensing; it does not estimate or guess. Where a step also needs a visual check, a camera verdict can be required before the step passes.
Does OXO detect defective parts?
OXO verifies the process: the right work, in the right place, in the right order. Part quality is checked by an integrated camera when the step requires it.
