In cooperation with
Location data from sensors on equipment such
as scanners and material handling equipment
(MHE), and shelf locations are transmitted
centrally in real time and wirelessly via existing Wi-Fi
infrastructure within the warehouse.
Data from these
locations are aggregated
and overlaid with
warehouse order
activities from the warehouse
management system on-site and
mapped against the warehouse
layout, providing a visual
representation of all data in real-
time with heat maps and location
geotags that evolve over the course
of the day.
n Operational efficiencies
through process improvement
or warehouse layout redesign
n Asset utilization gains
n Improvement of safety
blind spots
BENEFITS
HOW IT WORKS
POTENTIAL USE CASES FOR IOT SOLUTION
IOT IS THE CONNECTION OF ALMOST ANYTHINGThe Internet of Things (IOT) is the networked connection of physical
objects that may also serve a multiplicity of other purposes. With one
trillion sensors expected to be connected to the Internet by 2020, the potential
of IoT to change the way we live and work is revolutionary.
IOT solution in three smart ware-
houses lends visual intelligence to
data for easier, more agile and
meaningful decision making
Real-time data visualization of
warehouse activities enables use
cases for operational efficiency,
and health & safety gains
IOT solution developed in partner-
ship with Wi-Fi infrastructure and
operational data visualization
