Challenges in your industry

Shortage of raw materials and cost increases

They face the challenge of coping with rising prices and the availability of raw materials such as steel, aluminum and plastics. Supply bottlenecks can delay production processes, pose assembly risks and impact the cost structure.

Labor shortage

The shortage of skilled workers in technical professions is making it difficult for you to find qualified employees for production and product development, fueled by demographic change. This often leads to a higher workload for the existing workforce and increases the risk of errors or delays.

High customer expectations

Customers are increasingly demanding customized solutions and fast delivery without compromising on quality. This puts you under pressure to make your production processes more flexible while maintaining efficiency. The balance between individual customer requirements and cost-effective production is often difficult to achieve.

How real-time Track & Trace supports you

Secured location and inventory information

There is no precise overview of the location and status of your transport racks. The lack of an inventory overview leads to bottlenecks that disrupt the production process. In addition, your racks are often misused by customers due to their wide range of applications. To compensate for shrinkage and avoid bottlenecks, you need to purchase additional racks and maintain buffer stocks.

With Asset Tracking

  • 100 % transparency about the locations of the transport racks.
  • Real-time location display via a central platform.
  • Avoidance of shrinkage, replacement purchases and buffer stocks. 
  • Ensuring availability and avoiding production disruptions

Increased efficiency of return logistics

The release of your racks is unreliable and delays collection. Empty racks are not returned on time, which leads to additional logistical costs and, in the worst case, delays in production. Empty racks are in the way on construction sites and have to be relocated, causing dissatisfaction among your customers on site.

With Asset Tracking

  • Automatic notification of racks ready for collection
  • Localization on the racks on the construction site
  • Reduction in unnecessary multiple trips
  • Increase customer satisfaction

Mitigating the shortage of skilled workers

The shortage of skilled workers in technical professions makes it difficult for you to find qualified employees for production and product development. A lack of capacity slows down your operational processes. This often leads to a higher workload for existing staff and increases the risk of errors or delays. At the same time, production processes need to become increasingly flexible, leading to a greater need for automation.

With Asset Tracking

  • Automation of manual activities
  • Reduction of non-productive tasks for existing employees
  • Increasing the attractiveness of the workplace through modern technologies
  • Increased efficiency and error reduction

Ensuring just-in-time deliveries

Space and storage options are often limited on construction sites. A premature delivery of construction elements can hinder work on the construction site, while a late delivery delays the entire construction process. Waiting or downtime can result in high costs. You therefore need to coordinate your deliveries precisely with the construction progress, which is difficult to coordinate manually.

With Asset Tracking

  • Real-time data on delivery status
  • Avoidance of delays and downtime on the construction site
  • Improved customer communication and satisfaction
  • Optimized logistics through more precise scheduling
