Every release of Sonar comes down to the same question. Can an operations team see more of what is happening on their floor, and act on it sooner? Sonar Web 6.1.0 answers yes on three fronts. It captures new kinds of signal from the physical world, makes that signal faster to read on the map, and gives teams cleaner ways to move the data into whatever they use to act on it.
Here is what is new.
New signals you can now capture
Two new beacon types join the portfolio: a UWB Temperature Vibration Tag and a UWB Electromagnetic Tag. With them come a set of new readings that open up environments that were hard to measure before:
Six new sensor readings introduced in SONAR Web 6.1.0
The point is not the sensor. It is what each reading lets a team stop guessing about. Air quality and access integrity for a clean room. Vibration and utilization for a production line. A tamper event captured the instant it happens in a secured bay. The physical world gives up a little more of what it knows with every reading we add.
A clearer map, now in beta
This release previews an expanded map experience. It is in beta, so treat it as a preview and tell us what works.
Click any object in a table and Sonar brings it into focus on the map. Hover an asset and a pulse circles it so you never lose your place. Gateways and stationary assets now cluster the way assets already do, so a dense facility stays readable. You can filter by object type, assign colors to place boundaries, thicken boundary borders to spot overlaps, and size markers up or down with a slider. Small changes, but together they mean less hunting and a faster read on where everything is.
Get your data out
Visibility is only half the job. The other half is moving what you capture into the systems that act on it.
Sonar 6.1.0 lets you export from every tab in the map table: places, assets, gateways, and stationary assets. Behind the scenes, improvements to the Slim Assets API, the addition of trigger data to that API, and support for client credential and token exchange flows give engineering teams cleaner paths to deliver Sonar data into their analytics, business, and AI systems.
Capture the signal once. Use it anywhere. That is the capture layer doing its job.

Quality-of-life improvements
A long list of refinements makes day-to-day work smoother:
- Battery value is now available as a trigger type, so you can act before a device goes dark.
- Users and contacts can be added directly to triggers and scheduled reports.
- Breadcrumb trails load in chronological order with infinite scroll and a smarter date picker.
- Standard deviation is now selectable for asset readings, and inches of mercury (inHg) joins the pressure units.
- Asset status colors now explain themselves on hover.
Dozens of resolved issues across sorting, dark mode, export, and login round out the release.
What it adds up to
Sonar delivers value on day one: a real-time picture of your operation the moment it goes live. 6.1.0 makes that picture richer, faster to read, and easier to share with everything downstream. Every new signal you capture today is foundation your AI initiatives stand on tomorrow.
Sonar Web 6.1.0 is available now. Existing customers receive the update automatically. If you want to see what the capture layer looks like in your environment, reach out to our team.
