The challenges with Warehouse Positioning System

Lack of real-time visibility in the warehouse is no longer just an inconvenience, it’s a direct operational and financial liability.

01 Inefficient inventory management

The problem
Inaccurate inventory counts, lost pallets, and manual search times slow down operations and lead to costly delays. This lack of visibility can result in significant financial losses and customer dissatisfaction.
The impact
Without a reliable system to track assets, businesses suffer from "ghost inventory," where the system shows stock that is physically missing, and prolonged picking times that directly impact fulfillment efficiency.

02 Underutilized assets

The problem
High-value assets like forklifts and other vehicles are not used to their full potential due to a lack of visibility over their real-time location and usage. This leads to inefficient asset allocation and unnecessary capital expenditure.
The impact
Operators waste time searching for equipment, and managers cannot analyze usage patterns to optimize fleet size and maintenance schedules.

03 Operational bottlenecks

The problem
Without real-time data on material flow, identifying and resolving bottlenecks in the supply chain is nearly impossible. This can be caused by inefficient routing, poor space utilization, and traffic in high-density areas.
The impact
These bottlenecks lead to wasted time, increased labor costs, and delayed shipments, directly impacting the bottom line.

03 Risk and safety

The problem
The lack of real-time location data for workers and vehicles increases the risk of accidents and makes it difficult to manage safety in hazardous zones. Manual safety checks are often unreliable and prone to human error.
The impact
This can result in workplace injuries, regulatory fines, and legal liabilities.

Our solutions

We provide a complete, modular solution that transforms these challenges into a competitive advantage. Our system delivers a seamless transition from a "blind" operation to a data-driven, intelligent warehouse.

01 The hardware foundation for precision

High-accuracy UWB & BLE tags

We provide a range of tags engineered for the warehouse environment. Our UWB tags offer centimeter-level accuracy for high-value assets and equipment, while BLE tags provide a cost-effective, wide-coverage solution for general inventory. Our tags are robust and designed to perform in challenging RF environments.

Autopositioning anchors

We eliminate the need for manual calibration of every anchor with our unique autopositioning anchors. This solution simplifies infrastructure setup, reducing deployment time from days to minutes, and is ideal for dynamic warehouse layouts or temporary setups.

Integrated gateways

Our gateways act as the central hub, connecting all tags and anchors to the wider network. They seamlessly integrate a wide range of protocols—from UWB and BLE for location data to LTE-M and Wi-Fi for backhaul communication—ensuring a robust and reliable network foundation.

02 The software intelligence for action

Real-time location engine

Our core location engine is a hero block that delivers centimeter-level accuracy using UWB and advanced algorithms. We leverage techniques like Kalman filters and SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) to enhance performance and mitigate NLOS errors in complex industrial settings, ensuring precise tracking even in obstructed areas.

Multi-source event correlation

Our Multi-Source Event Correlation Engine transforms raw location data into intelligent events and insights. It combines UWB's precise position with data from other sensors (e.g., IMUs, environmental) to detect complex scenarios, such as a pallet being dropped or a vehicle entering a restricted zone.

Automated workflows

Our systems enable precise, automated actions based on location data. We can implement Local Automation Rules Engines that trigger events—such as sending an alert, shutting down a machine, or adjusting vehicle speed—without relying on the cloud, ensuring instant, low-latency responses.

03 The analytics & integration for optimization

Data analytics and optimization

We turn continuous streams of location data into actionable business intelligence. Our Data Analytics & Insights Framework leverages machine learning to identify bottlenecks, optimize picking routes, and improve overall operational efficiency.

Unified enterprise integration

Our API Gateway & Integration Layer enables seamless connection with your existing enterprise systems, such as WMS, ERP, and inventory management platforms. This ensures our solution delivers full business value by integrating with your core operational platforms.

Resilience and compliance

Our solutions are built with an Offline Resilience & Backup Module that allows them to continue logging critical location data during network outages, with automatic synchronization once connectivity is restored. Our systems also meet stringent safety and security standards, including cryptographic authentication between tags and anchors.

04 Business benefits

Increased operational efficiency

Reduce manual search times and optimize picking routes to improve fulfillment speed by up to 25%.

Maximized asset utilization

Gain real-time visibility into vehicle and equipment usage to optimize fleet size and maintenance, reducing unnecessary capital expenditure.

Enhanced safety
