Contact us nowReal-time data monitoring could not be easier:
The Internet of Bins is about continuously recording and analysing information generated by so-called smart bins. These intelligent bins are equipped with sensors and IoT technology to capture various data such as the filling level, temperature and weight.
IoT technology makes it possible to monitor, manage and optimise the status of bins used for transport, whether in-house or on their way to customers. Whether tracking is real-time or event-based depends on the application and requirements.
- Interconnect your load carriers and monitor your shipped goods throughout the entire supply chain.
- Receive information on the receipt, dispatch, condition or damage of goods and identify problems before the customer does.
- Achieve full transparency and process security and optimise inventories.
- Automate data entry and posting of incoming and outgoing goods.
- Benefit from the option of implementing an electronic product passport.

Best Practice – How customers benefit from IoB
Our customer operates a large distribution cycle with around 30,000 bins. Every week, 10,000 bins are brought into the cycle and returned to the starting point.
Problem
The bins are returned stacked on pallets and each bin must be manually booked as incoming item.
BITO Solution
The IoB tracking system registers the bins within a radius of 10 to 15 meters without the need for scanning. All data are automatically transferred to the inventory management system. Folding bins as well as stacked bins can be recorded while still in a stack.
Benefits
The customer does not have to assign any employees for this job. Complete automation saves a huge amount of time. Errors during data capture are eliminated making the process fully transparent.
