IoT-trackers, which collect data in real time, and a cloud-based logistics platform are combined to create an innovative solution. This makes it possible to replace manual bookings with automated processes and thus increase efficiency.

The digitalization and automation of business processes are key factors for success in modern logistics. But until now, many companies have been slowed down by manual activities and complex processes. The time-consuming scanning of codes and labels as well as the high workload involved in booking incoming and outgoing goods cost valuable resources and time when recording inventory

At Logistics & Automation, which takes place on 15 and 16 May in Dortmund, we will be presenting a pioneering solution together with Arvato Systems that revolutionizes the booking of warehouse movements and containers in intralogistics. The joint solution consists of cost-effective and easy-to-install IoT trackers, which are attached to the containers and record all movements in real time. These trackers transmit the location data to our thingsHub software, which collects, analyzes and forwards the data to platbricks®, a modular logistics platform from Arvato Systems. Here, logistical processes are managed efficiently and reliably as part of container management. Users have a complete overview of stocks and their changes at all times and are actively informed of any anomalies in the orders to be processed so that they can react promptly.

This innovative solution turns every load carrier into an intelligent object that automatically locates itself, checks itself in or out and takes inventory. The manual scanning of barcodes or passing through an RFID gate is therefore no longer necessary. The automation of these processes allows employees to focus on other, value-adding tasks.

We look forward to seeing you at Logistics & Automation on May 15 and 16, 2024 at booth D-21 in hall 4. Simply book your personal appointment at https://smartmakers.io/event/.
