How do you successfully implement Track and Trace?

Are you planning to introduce Track-and-Trace solutions in your supply chains or production processes, or are you about to implement them? Yet, you’re lacking an overview of suitable technologies and proven approaches to make your processes more transparent and efficient?

Track and Trace requires a precise interplay of standardized technologies, real-time data integration, and flexible analytics platforms to ensure seamless traceability. Our network of experienced partners assists you in identifying the best solutions for your individual requirements – efficiently, without obligation, and perfectly tailored to your goals.

Data Acquisition

The basis of every IoT and IIoT project lies in data acquisition and pre-processing (EDGE). The data from the field and control level can be transmitted either directly by wire or wirelessly. Operational parameters such as temperature, pressure, force, or production data in real time are captured – and made available for any use case.

Data Transmission

A seamless transfer of captured data is essential. Many companies combine wireless and wired solutions depending on the use case – for secure data transmission to the cloud or locally. Suitable networks for distance, data load and environments as well as high security standards are crucial in order to avoid downtimes.

Device Management

Efficient device management for IIoT devices enables companies in our community to centrally manage the entire life cycle, including automated updates and certificate management. Our partners are working on solutions to reduce operating costs through automation, minimize downtimes and achieve high efficiency through scalable solutions and optimized interfaces.

Data Integration

Data only becomes valuable when it is seamlessly integrated into existing IT and OT systems. A strong connection between machine level, MES, ERP systems and other business solutions enables efficient processes and consolidated insights. Keywords: Data Warehousing, Data Lake and Database (storage)

Data Standard (Communication)

Many companies do not have standardized access to machine and device data right through to their IT systems. Standards such as OPC UA, LoRaWAN and mioty enable seamless integration from the edge to the cloud. OPC UA, for example, connects OT and IT by transferring data via edge gateways to cloud services such as Azure Event Hubs or Kafka and tools such as Grafana or Power BI. Our partners ensure that these standards can be used efficiently.

Data Standard (Master Data)

Master data for products and services is often not uniformly classified and is available in data silos. When implementing use cases such as traceability, digital type plates, the digital product passport (DPP) or the product carbon footprint, this leads to high costs in data engineering due to duplication of work and inefficient processing. Uniform data formats, standardized product descriptions and technical concepts such as the Asset Administration Shell (AAS) are therefore crucial.

Data Science & Analytics

The visualization of IoT data makes it possible to display complex information such as alarm trends, golden batch or process dashboards in intuitive reports. Customizable dashboards on standard tools help to analyze real-time data, identify trends and make informed decisions. Low-code solutions are also available.

Data Analysis and Evaluation

IoT/IIoT data analysis provides real-time insights into processes through, for example, data event-driven apps, real-time analytics, and root cause analytics. Tools such as MVDA, OEE, process KPIs and Predictive Maintenance can be used to identify anomalies and optimize processes. Low-code solutions also facilitate rapid implementation.

Data Security

Protection against unauthorized access, theft or manipulation is an issue for every company in our network. Our partners are working on solutions for the optimal use of digital identities and encryption technologies for secure access and communication of your devices, machines and systems.

Services

The services provided by our partners support companies from our network in the implementation and optimization of IoT solutions. This includes consulting, customization, training and technical support. The aim is to make processes more efficient, integrate systems seamlessly and derive maximum benefit from IoT/IIoT data.

Benefits of Asset Tracking: Create Transparency, Optimize Processes

Real-time Transparency Across Your Supply Chain

With Asset Tracking and Track & Trace, you can monitor your valuable assets in real-time – from production to final delivery. Modern IIoT technologies like GPS and RFID tracking enable you to track the location and condition of assets at any time. This allows you to identify potential disruptions in your supply chain early and respond efficiently before delays or losses occur.

Security and Protection Against Loss

Track & Trace ensures that you maintain control over your assets. Smart sensors immediately report unauthorized access or unusual movements, helping to prevent theft or damage. This continuous monitoring not only provides security but also minimizes the risk of financial losses and builds trust with your customers and partners.

Efficient Logistics and Inventory Management

By continuously tracking assets, you optimize inventory processes, material flows, and transportation. Track & Trace helps you maintain an overview of your stock, avoid overstocking, and ensure the availability of critical resources. This reduces costs and accelerates the entire value chain – from procurement to delivery.

Improved Customer Satisfaction

Transparency in the supply chain strengthens customer trust. With precise information on delivery status and potential delays, you can communicate proactively and guarantee reliability. On-time deliveries and traceable processes make you a preferred partner and enhance your competitive position.

Sustainability and Cost Savings

Optimize your logistics to use resources more efficiently. Track & Trace helps you plan shipments better, avoid empty runs, and optimize routes. This not only leads to significant cost savings but also reduces CO₂ emissions and supports your sustainability goals.
