SmartMakers and Arvato Systems at Logistics & Automation

IoT trackers that 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. However, until now, many companies have been slowed down by manual activities and complex processes. The time-consuming scanning of codes and labels and 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 present a pioneering solution 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 attached to the containers that 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.
