The challenge<\/div>\n

No time for side issues<\/h2>\n

In the metal construction and glass industry, delicate fa\u00e7ade 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.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

The solution<\/div>\n

Maximum coverage at optimized costs<\/h2>\n

A hybrid mix was chosen for the rack fleet: 13% active trackers<\/strong> provide critical real-time data, supported by 87% passive QR codes<\/strong>. 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<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
