What is the benefit of location-based services for your storage bins and distribution containers?
Location-based information means that the data displayed on smart labels is automatically adjusted based on the current storage position of bins and containers. This solution combines location technologies with digital labels to provide context-relevant information.
Smart information management throughout the material flow
- Process-relevant data on the storage position of a bin is automatically displayed using BLE beacons.
- Seamless product tracking from production to storage location and on to shipping
- Dynamic updates without manual scanning or relabelling
- Sensors for condition monitoring can be integrated and are accurate to within 1 metre.
Product features and benefits in brief
Gain transparency, efficiency and process reliability by managing your bin and container pool
100% real-time transparency
Seamless tracking of all bin and container movements between locations using BLE beacons. Every container can be located at any time and its status is known.
70% less time spent on searching for products
Reduced search and response times thanks to precise location tracking with an accuracy of 1 metre. Containers are located immediately and processes are accelerated.
No more lost inventory
No more lost bins and containers thanks to continuous monitoring. Automatic alerts in the event of unexpected movements or downtime.
50% fewer manual scans
Automated entry and exit bookings based on location changes. Employees no longer have to record each container individually.
Workflow automation increases by 80%
Accelerated processes through location-specific work instructions. The right information is given at the right time in the right place.
ROI in less than 9 months
Fast payback thanks to savings in time and fewer container losses. Optimised utilisation of the existing bin and container pool.
How do location-based services work?
The location-based solution uses different tracking technologies depending on the area of application. Outdoors, the system uses GPS for daily position determination and on-demand tracking. Inside buildings, BLE beacons or RFID zones are used for precise indoor localisation.
Smart labels on bins and containers continuously receive location data and automatically adjust the information displayed. When moving between defined zones, work instructions, destinations, or status information are updated automatically. The LNC Logistics Platform controls all data flows and triggers event-based workflows.
Location-based logistics with GPS, BLE, and RFID tracking
- GPS-based positioning in outdoor areas position tracking on a daily basis
- Zone classification for areas without high accuracy requirements
- Accurate indoor localisation via BLE/RFID technologies
- Automated information adjustment based on changes in location
- Integration with WMS and ERP systems
Where is location-based information used?
Location-based services help to optimise material flows across all industries
Production
Bins and containers are assigned to production lines and status information is shown immediately on the display. Dwell times and digital order approvals are displayed without delay.
Warehousing and logistics
Seamless tracking throughout the supply chain with proactive alerts. Fewer incorrect deliveries through location-specific destination information.
Wholesale and retail trade and distribution
User-friendly identification via LED signals upon receipt of goods. Traceability in the event of complaints and reduced risk of stock shortages.
Cross docking
Automatic display of loading and unloading zones based on position. Simplified navigation and optimised handling processes.
Your added value
Location-based storage container information helps you transform your material flow into a transparent, self-regulating system. Benefit from automated processes without manual intervention while increasing data transparency. Smart information management reduces error rates and significantly speeds things up. Employees can work more efficiently thanks to context-relevant displays and don't have to waste time searching or scanning products.
- Complete transparency regarding all bin and container movements
