Eforthink Unveils Next-Gen UWB Solutions at CES 2026

At CES 2026, Eforthink is showcasing a dual-track strategy that bridges the worlds of industrial automation and consumer smart living. Their new ultra-wideband (UWB) solutions aim to redefine precision tracking, efficiency, and user-centric experiences across both factory floors and homes.

Industrial-Grade Precision: Optimizing Modern Manufacturing

Eforthink’s industrial RTLS (Real-Time Location System) leverages a hybrid positioning approach, combining UWB with Bluetooth Angle-of-Arrival (AoA) technology. This system achieves centimeter-level accuracy, enabling precise tracking of personnel, vehicles, and materials in real time.

Key industrial applications include:

  • Asset and forklift tracking

  • Production line monitoring

  • Yard and warehouse management

  • Indoor positioning and navigation

From my perspective as an industrial automation engineer, this level of precision is not just about tracking—it enables predictive operations and leaner production workflows, significantly reducing downtime and human error in complex supply chains.

Seamless Touchless Interaction for the Consumer Realm

Building on its industrial expertise, Eforthink introduces three consumer-focused spatial sensing products, bringing UWB intelligence into daily life:

  1. Eforlink ScreenLock – Unlock your computer automatically as you approach and lock it when you leave, enhancing both productivity and security.

  2. Eforlink UWB Identity Presence Sensor – Creates a truly responsive environment, adjusting lighting, temperature, and appliances according to who is in the room, moving beyond passive device control.

  3. Eforlink UWB Pet Tag – Grants authorized pets automatic access, providing hands-free convenience while maintaining home security.

In my professional view, this illustrates the potential of industrial-grade tech transforming human-centric applications. Spatial awareness technology, once confined to factories, can now anticipate user behavior and enhance convenience in everyday settings.

Bridging Industrial and Consumer Worlds

UWB has long been a cornerstone for industrial automation, ensuring accuracy and reliability in critical operations. Eforthink’s vision extends these capabilities to the consumer market, creating smart homes that are not only connected but spatially intelligent.

As automation engineers, we should recognize that cross-domain applications of UWB open opportunities to integrate factory-grade precision into personalized experiences, whether managing energy usage, safety, or everyday convenience.

CES 2026 Preview: Experience Eforthink Firsthand

Visitors can explore Eforthink’s full UWB technology portfolio at CES 2026, North Hall, Booth #11071, Las Vegas Convention Center from January 6–9, 2026. The showcase highlights how real-time spatial intelligence can transform operations, interactions, and lifestyles, offering both industrial efficiency and consumer-centric innovation.
