Smart Management of racks
By digitalizing its transport rack management, Adamer Glas now maintains complete control over its fleet of over 400 racks at any time. The solution provides faster returns by 15%, reduces loss and offers extra theft protection. The results are significant cost savings, greater efficiency and higher availability in day-to-day business.
The need for transparency in glass logistics
Glass has unique material properties that require special transport racks. For Adamer Glas, managing these racks efficiently had become a business necessity. The goal was to seamlessly track more than 400 racks, prevent shrinkage, and optimize workflows through automation. Visual reconciliation of booking data with geographic location data was of particular importance.
Europe-wide tracking in an instant
Approximately 400 racks were retrofitted with cost-effective trackers that enable location tracking across Europe via the cellular network. These battery-powered sensors require minimal maintenance and have a service life of up to seven years.

Process transparency via a SaaS platform
The cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform offers a user-friendly interface for managing glass racks. Users gain process transparency throughout the entire supply chain. By matching booking data with actual geographic location data, returns are accelerated and shrinkage is reduced.

Profitability through transparency
Adamer Glas's understanding of the importance of rack management has changed dramatically with the implementation of the BOX ID system. Customers receiving deliveries have been made aware of the need to promptly return racks. The approximately 15 percent faster return of racks increases their availability for production and delivery, prevents bottlenecks, and significantly reduces replacement costs.
Automated rack management processes make workflows more efficient.
Adamer Glas can now focus on its core business instead of wasting time on administrative tasks.
