Digital Management of transport racks
Metallbau Windeck transferred its rack fleet from Excel into the digital world with the BOX ID cloud solution. Today, the logistics and production teams have full visibility of all transport racks, providing a transparent and reliable overview across all locations. The result is less searching, clear responsibilities, and much faster daily operations.
No time for side issues
In the metal construction and glass industry, delicate façade elements place high demands on logistics. Until now, Metallbau Windeck managed its scaffolding fleet using internal Excel spreadsheets. This method was increasingly proving to be suboptimal and error-prone. In order to utilize resources in a valuable way and ensure safety, the consistent digitization of logistics processes was essential.
Maximum coverage at optimized costs
A hybrid mix was chosen for the rack fleet: 13% active trackers provide critical real-time data, supported by 87% passive QR codes. This combination ensures reliable day-to-day operations on construction sites while keeping investment costs manageable. It also allows shipments to be efficiently assigned to individual projects or customers at any time.

Reliable tracking all the way to the construction site
The control center: The heart of logistics
This solution is the perfect complement to the existing inventory management system. It provides an at-a-glance view of the rack fleet's distribution across different zones. Automated notifications keep employees updated on status changes.
