XMarker Technology

The marker that knows where it is

XMarkers combine a 4-colour visual pattern with an embedded ultra-low-power Bluetooth chip. They give every rack slot a unique, machine-readable identity — no batteries to replace, no wiring to install.

Dual-Mode Identification

Colour vision meets wireless identity

Each XMarker carries two layers of information: a visual colour pattern that NanoEye cameras detect optically, and a low-energy Bluetooth chip that broadcasts a unique identifier.

Visual Layer

The 4-square colour pattern creates a unique visual code for each rack location. NanoEye cameras detect and decode these patterns in real time from up to 8 metres away, even in low-light warehouse conditions.

  • 4 colours, 4 quadrants = thousands of unique combinations
  • Readable at up to 8m distance
  • Works in low-light and cold storage
  • No power source required for visual detection

Wireless Layer

Each XMarker embeds an ultra-low-power Bluetooth chip that harvests energy from ambient radio signals. It broadcasts a unique slot ID that NanoEye can cross-reference with the visual pattern.

Energy Harvesting

No battery replacements. The chip harvests energy from ambient RF signals and transmits its identifier periodically.

  • Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) broadcast
  • Ambient energy harvesting — no battery changes
  • 10-year+ operational lifespan
  • Cross-references with visual colour code

Why XMarkers

Zero Infrastructure

Peel and stick. No wiring, no power outlets, no wireless access points needed at each rack.

Slot-Level Precision

Every rack slot gets a unique identity. NanoEye knows exactly where each pallet was placed.

No Maintenance

Energy-harvesting chips mean no batteries to replace. Install once and forget for 10+ years.

Dual Redundancy

Visual + wireless identification means the system works even if one layer is temporarily obscured.

Warehouse-Grade

UV-resistant, waterproof adhesive backing rated for cold storage, high-bay, and cross-dock environments.

Scalable

Thousands of unique marker codes available. Scale from a single aisle to an entire warehouse network.

Install in seconds

Each XMarker has a pre-applied industrial adhesive backing. Peel, position on the rack beam, press. The Atlas platform automatically maps each marker to its slot location during initial calibration.
