reduced loss
of racks
With the BOX ID cloud solution, WEHA-THERM has digitalized its 2,000 transport racks, allowing them to be monitored at all times. IoT tracking provides full transparency regarding locations and movements, accelerates returns, and prevents unnecessary additional purchases.
Lack of visibility and slow return rates
In the past, the return of approximately 2,000 racks from WEHA-THERM often stalled due to a lack of clear visibility into their status. This resulted in the need for additional purchases and created bottlenecks at the production site. Missing empty racks caused delivery delays and required extra handling in manufacturing.
Cost-effective retrofit for 2,000 racks
The entire fleet has been equipped with cost-effective trackers that transmit real-time location and movement data throughout Europe. These battery-powered devices have a service life of up to seven years. They can be installed on existing racks in a matter of minutes as a retrofit solution.
Real-time tracking via cellular network
Up to 7 years of maintenance-free operation
Ensuring process transparency with mobile data collection
The cloud-based software visualizes movements across all locations, providing real-time inventory levels and storage durations. WEHA-THERM uses a scan app to add delivery-specific information to the racks, which helps prevent mishandling. The dashboard offers analytics tools for long-term process improvement.
