Digital container tracking
Schnellecke Logistics implements real-time tracking using smart containers and the cloud. With this IoT pilot, Schnellecke optimizes transparency about container locations and parts transport. The JIS containers equipped with a smart transmitter transmit their location at short intervals. This information is received by so-called gateways, which are installed both at Schnellecke and at the customer's site. All they need is power and Internet access, either via the local network or via a mobile phone connection. The containers are thus tracked continuously and in real time from picking to assembly at the car manufacturer.
