The OX Button is an ERP-connected input device from ORGATEX that is installed directly at the workstation on the shop floor. A single keystroke confirms, reports, or triggers a process step—in real time and without any disruption in the workflow. This ensures that relevant information is generated right where the work is being done and is immediately available system-wide.

The OX Button is designed for production and logistics teams that want to link manual tasks on the shop floor directly to their ERP or MES system. Typical applications include assembly, goods receipt, quality control, replenishment/Kanban, and order picking.

No. The OX button operates independently: Workflows are configured using no-code tools in the ORGATEX Cloud, and notifications are automatically sent to the target system or directly to the person in charge. This makes it possible to get started with digitalization without a large-scale project—integration with ERP, WMS, or MES is possible at any time later on.

Yes. The OX button operates via NB-IoT / LTE-M and therefore requires no local IT infrastructure or Wi-Fi. It can also be used in locations where no traditional network is available—without the need for network expansion.

The OX Button is an active input device, while the OX Label is a digital display and labeling system. With the OX Button, employees can trigger acknowledgments, notifications, or approvals with the push of a button; the OX Label is a connected E-Ink label that displays order and process data in real time, updates automatically, and replaces traditional paper labels. In short: The button records actions, while the label displays information and provides identification—both are connected to the system via the same wireless standards (Thread Mesh, LTE-M, NB-IoT).

Select the OX button when a simple, unambiguous trigger is needed at a station—for example, to confirm a work step, request a replenishment, or grant approval. Choose the OX Label if you want to display changing order or inventory information directly on the shelf, container, or storage location, replace paper labels, or locate materials and containers. Rule of thumb: If the primary focus is on interaction, the button is the right choice—if the primary focus is on display, labeling, and tracking, the label is the right choice.

Yes. The OX-Label also features a button function that allows users to trigger follow-up deliveries or confirmations with the push of a button, for example, and supports Pick-to-Light and Put-to-Light processes with its integrated LED. The difference lies in the focus: With the OX-Label, the emphasis is on digital display and labeling, while with the OX-Button, the focus is on dedicated trigger and input functions at the workstation.

Yes. Both devices are part of the same digital intralogistics platform from ORGATEX, use the same wireless standards (Thread Mesh, LTE-M, NB-IoT), and can be integrated into ERP, MES, and WMS systems. This allows the OX Label on the shelf to display the current order data, while the OX Button at the workstation triggers the corresponding confirmation or approval.

With the OX Label, the LED is integrated directly into the label and guides employees via a light signal right at the shelf compartment or container (pick-to-light/put-to-light). The OX button at the workstation serves as a trigger or confirmation for the picking step and can accompany the process with colored signals. In many applications, the two complement each other: The label lights up and indicates the bin, while the button confirms the step.

The OX Button focuses on active input rather than passive display: Employees can acknowledge and report tasks with the press of a button right at their workstations, without switching systems or having to enter data later. Unlike simply digitizing documents, it changes the process right where the action takes place, thereby avoiding system disconnects and delayed feedback.

Digital order tracking means that every actual work step is immediately recorded in the ERP system. The OX Button bridges the gap between what happens on the shop floor and what the system records—so not only is the order status visible at all times, but so is the actual processing step.

Yes. Every interaction is transmitted immediately and in an audit-proof manner to the higher-level system. Because data is captured directly at the point of action, there is no need for subsequent, error-prone duplicate entries in separate systems.

The OX button is installed directly at the workstation for each specific location and comes preconfigured. As a result, the hardware is ready for use within a few days—without the need for a complex IT project.

The OX button can be configured as a pushbutton for five application areas: assembly completion notification, replenishment or Kanban call, goods receipt, quality control, and pick-to-light. Each station is configured individually and adapts to the respective process requirements.

The number depends on the stations and process steps that are to be monitored digitally—typically one pushbutton per workstation or trigger point. The rollout can begin on a single line and be expanded in a modular fashion to the entire plant.

The OX Button comes preconfigured and is ready for use within a few days. A full-scale pilot operation on a single line provides a reliable data set for decision-making after just four weeks.

Yes. The OX button is modularly scalable: The rollout can begin on a single line and be gradually expanded to additional lines and the entire plant. This ensures that the implementation is low-risk and predictable.
