CREATING FUTURE-PROOF LOGISTICS WITH IOT SOLUTIONS
Leveraging automation potential in logistics with IoT solutions
The IoT offers almost endless possibilities for process automation - especially in warehouse and site logistics
The human body needs not only a brain, but also nerve pathways that transport external stimuli from the sensory organs to the brain and, conversely, direct control signals to the arms, legs, hands, etc. In the same way, a logistics solution needs not only a management system, but also an underlying technology that enables the flow of information and data where it is needed. In this sense, the IoT with all its sensors, connections and interfaces is the central nervous system of logistics digitization.
Based on the latest technologies, we provide tailored support to help you achieve your digitalization and automation goals in an efficient and cost-effective manner. Our development teams create ideas ranging from cloud or on-premise applications to hardware that increase transparency about your logistics processes in all areas along the supply chain.
Data as the foundation for more transparency, automation and optimization
- Transparency - The collection and processing of real-time data is essential to make ongoing processes more transparent and adapt them accordingly. To this end, we use intelligent solutions such as tracking or sensor technologies (e.g. temperature sensors) as well as video- and image-based recognition technologies. This enables us to identify problems in the planned process and react quickly to unforeseen disruptions.
- Automation - Data can be used to automate various processes and control actuators such as monitors, entry and exit barriers, gates and more with little or no human intervention. This can streamline processes and reduce potential manual errors.
- Optimization - Data is a true treasure trove of information that should be used to identify inefficiencies and further optimize logistics processes. Here, we also rely on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML).
Our goal is to drive innovation in logistics with a range of IoT components to create seamless solutions. As a strategic partner, we support our customers in integrating individual IoT solutions into their business with minimal effort.
Your added benefits through IoT solutions
IoT solutions give companies the ability to prevent or quickly respond to unforeseen events. For example, sensors can monitor maintenance intervals, alert forklift drivers and much more. This not only increases efficiency, but also workplace safety and reduces the likelihood of damage.
Flexibility
New opportunities through connected products and services (AI/ML)
Maintenance
Predictive maintenance reduces accidents, failure rates and downtime
Efficiency
Operational efficiency and cost savings
Safety and security
Fast response times increase workplace safety (e.g.: IoT sensors warn forklift trucks, automatic evasive maneuver).
Decision-making aid
Long-term, strategic decisions promote competitiveness and success
IoT Use Cases
The IoT provides many benefits by increasing operational efficiency and opening up new opportunities via connected products and services. Using IoT services and the underlying IoT-enabled devices and sensors, supply chain as well as yard and transport management processes are automatically updated with data and can be tracked and monitored in real time.
