Key factors for the successful
management of container cycles

Group 805
Real-time transparency of container locations and stocks

Many companies lack up-to-date data on container stocks. As a result, order-related load carriers are often difficult to locate, which significantly increases the effort required for inventory management and scheduling. High safety stock levels are required to avoid production interruptions and delivery delays.

With Asset Tracking

The locations and stocks of all load carriers can be viewed anytime and anywhere by you and everyone involved. This information is synchronized across all systems and simplifies communication.

  • 100% transparency of locations and stocks
  • Assured availability of load carriers
  • Sound database for process optimization
  • Minimization of safety stocks

Automated processes replace manual scans & bookings

In many cases, scans and bookings of transportation processes are often still carried out manually. The results are recorded manually in tables and IT systems. This process is time-consuming and causes high personnel costs. It also increases the risk of data entry errors, which can impair data quality.

With Asset Tracking

Load carriers are booked and inventoried automatically. All changes are applied in real time, eliminating the need to maintain data in different systems. This reduces manual intervention and minimizes potential sources of error.

  • 90 % less scanning and booking work
  • Better data quality & consistency
  • Employees can be deployed productively
  • Lower personnel requirements

Quick findability at all locations for minimal search times

Searching for empty and full containers in the factory or at suppliers requires a lot of time and effort. This leads to an increased workload for your employees and can result in additional personnel requirements. If the search is unsuccessful, there is a risk of production disruptions that could jeopardize operations.

With Asset Tracking

You know the position of all load carriers at your own locations and at suppliers. Tracking during transit also allows you to accurately predict arrival times. If required, you will automatically receive a message when load carriers enter or leave certain zones.

  • 80 % less search time
  • The availability of empties containers and components is easy to ensure
  • Early detection of delayed transports
  • Automatic notifications
