The challenge<\/div>\n

Lack of visibility and slow return rates<\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

The solution<\/div>\n

Cost-effective retrofit for 2,000 racks<\/h2>\n

The entire fleet has been equipped with cost-effective trackers<\/strong> that transmit real-time location and movement data throughout Europe. These battery-powered devices<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

The solution<\/div>\n

Ensuring process transparency with mobile data collection<\/h2>\n

The cloud-based software<\/strong> visualizes movements across all locations<\/strong>, providing real-time inventory levels and storage durations. WEHA-THERM uses a scan app<\/strong> to add delivery-specific information to the racks, which helps prevent mishandling. The dashboard offers analytics tools for long-term process improvement<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
