What is real-time bin and container tracking?
Real-time bin and container tracking enables continuous tracking of load carriers throughout the entire supply chain. Intelligent sensors and smart labels automatically record the position, status and condition of your load carriers, creating complete process transparency.
Internet of Bins (IoB) for end-to-end container tracking
- GPS-based location tracking in outdoor areas with daily position recording
- Zone-based data collection in buildings via BLE and RFID
- Automated display of location-relevant information
- Complete documentation of all movements and process steps
Product features and benefits in brief
Maximum transparency and efficiency
Real-time transparency
Load carriers or products can be located throughout their journey. Searching and manual scanning are no longer required.
70% less time spent on locating assets
Precise location information drastically reduces search times. Bins and containers can be located and identified immediately.
Optimised workflows
Faster processes thanks to automated status updates. Manual bookings and scans are no longer necessary.
Continuous documentation
Complete history of all load carrier movements with time-stamped records. Compliance and audit requirements are automatically met.
Fewer losses
Continuous tracking minimises loss of storage bins and distribution containers. Misplaced or overlooked load carriers are identified immediately.
Dynamic information
Relevant data pinpointing physical locations are displayed on smart labels. Your process information is always up to date and context-specific.
How does real-time container tracking work?
Tracking systems for bin and container pools combine various location technologies for seamless indoor and outdoor tracking. GPS modules record positions outdoors, while BLE beacons and RFID gates define zones within buildings.
The LNC Logistics Platform processes all location data in real time and triggers location-based services. Smart labels on the containers automatically update their display depending on their position and show relevant information such as destination, contents or instructions. Sensors also record status data such as temperature or vibrations. All data is stored centrally and can be accessed via dashboards.
Intelligent bin and container tracking provides seamless indoor and outdoor monitoring
- GPS trackers pinpoint the exact location of your bins and containers in outdoor areas and on transport routes
- BLE/RFID zone detection systems provide real-time data transmission in indoor areas
- Smart display labels show detailed product data
- Sensors record and transmit status information on load carriers or products
- The LNC logistics platform processes and visualises data.
Where is real-time container tracking used?
Real-time tracking optimises bin and container management across all industries
Production and factory logistics
Bin and container tracking between production sites and warehouses. Real-time visibility of dwell times and automated process triggering.
Supply chain management and shipping
End-to-end tracking throughout the entire supply chain. Proactive alerts in case of delays or route deviations.
Trading and distribution
Optimised store delivery using reusable containers. Bin and container losses as well as incorrect deliveries are minimised.

Your added value
Real-time tracking transforms your bins and container management into a transparent, data-driven system and helps to eliminate search times and manual processes while improving inventory accuracy. End-to-end documentation of all movements helps with audits and makes sure you are following the rules. Displays show location-based information which enables employees to work more efficiently and with fewer errors. The system identifies potential for optimisation in your processes and reduces the loss of bins and containers in the long term.
