IOB(R) offers significant cost advantages through global standardized technologies
The IOB (R) – Internet of Bins & Containers by BITO-Lagertechnik offers significant cost advantages compared to other solutions, thanks to the use of globally standardized technologies. Equipped with sensors and IoT technology, the containers automatically capture and monitor various data such as location, temperatures, and booking times of goods in and out. The data is directly transmitted to a cloud, ensuring constant monitoring of the container conditions. The system enables real-time monitoring as well as event-based tracking of transport containers.
The IOB – Internet of Bins & Containers by BITO-Lagertechnik enables real-time transparency of material flow with minimal components. By using smart labels, barcodes, passive labels, or Bluetooth low-energy tags, it allows for easy tracking of cargo carriers. The interoperability between RFID and Bluetooth enables the utilization of existing infrastructure.
The IOB(R) enables a unique and secure ID verification throughout the entire supply chain, allowing containers and contents to be located and monitored. For example, it can monitor temperature during transportation. Additionally, the system simplifies the inventory of empty containers for stocktaking purposes and automatically records the number of containers returned. This eliminates the need for manual inventory and minimizes container losses.
Overall, the IOB (R) – Internet of Bins & Containers by BITO-Lagertechnik offers an efficient and cost-effective solution for transport monitoring and management. It provides automated visibility along the material flow, intelligent interconnectivity of containers, real-time monitoring, event-based tracking, insights into delivery status, automatic demand signals, and efficient inventory management of empty containers.
