=== Industrial applications ===
* '''Automation and robotics:''' Its high data rate and low latency enable real-time communication and control between machines and systems. UWB-based communication protocols ensure reliable and secure data transmission, enabling precise coordination and synchronization of automated processes. This enhances manufacturing efficiency, reduces errors, and improves overall productivity. UWB can also be integrated into robotic systems to enable precise localization, object detection, and collision avoidance, further enhancing the safety and efficiency of industrial automation.<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Silva |first1=Bruno |last2=Pang |first2=Zhibo |last3=Akerberg |first3=Johan |last4=Neander |first4=Jonas |last5=Hancke |first5=Gerhard |title=IECON 2014 - 40th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society |chapter=Positioning infrastructure for industrial automation systems based on UWB wireless communication |date=October 2014   |url=https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7049086 |publisher=IEEE |pages=3919–3925 |doi=10.1109/IECON.2014.7049086 |isbn=978-1-4799-4032-5|s2cid=3584838 }}</ref>
* '''Worker safety and proximity sensing:''' Worker safety is a concern in industrial settings. UWB technology provides effective proximity sensing and worker safety solutions. By equipping workers with UWB-enabled devices or badges, companies can monitor their location and movement in real-time. UWB-based systems can detect potential collisions between workers and machinery, issuing timely warnings to prevent accidents. Moreover, UWB technology allows for the creation of safety zones and controlled access areas, ensuring the safe interaction of workers with hazardous equipment or restricted zones. This helps enhance workplace safety, reduce accidents, and protect employees from potential hazards.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Teizer |first1=Jochen |last2=Venugopal |first2=Manu |last3=Walia |first3=Anupreet |date=January 2008 |title=Ultrawideband for Automated Real-Time Three-Dimensional Location Sensing for Workforce, Equipment, and Material Positioning and Tracking |url=http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.3141/2081-06 |journal=Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board |language=en |volume=2081 |issue=1 |pages=56–64 |doi=10.3141/2081-06 |s2cid=109097100 |issn=0361-1981}}</ref>
* '''Asset tracking and management:''' Efficient asset tracking and management are crucial for industrial operations. UWB enables precise and real-time tracking of assets within industrial facilities. By attaching UWB tags to equipment, tools, and inventory, companies can monitor their location, movement, and utilization. This enhances inventory management, reduces asset loss, minimizes downtime, and streamlines maintenance processes. UWB-based asset tracking systems provide accurate and reliable data, empowering businesses to optimize their resource allocation and improve overall operational efficiency.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Manifold |first=Steven |date=2022-10-27 |title=A Comprehensive Guide to Asset Tracking Technologies |url=https://ubisense.com/guide-asset-tracking-technologies/ |access-date=2023-07-16 |website=Ubisense |language=en-GB}}</ref>
