The intelligent connection between the physical and digital worlds
The use of modern Internet of Things solutions in companies is now a decisive factor in successfully setting yourself apart from the competition. The Internet of Things not only helps to make processes more efficient and reduce the workload on employees, but is also easier and more affordable to integrate than you might think. We present valuable use cases and offer you an easy start into the world of IoT with our practical starter kits.
Discover four valuable use cases for IoT
Digital labels & e-Paper
Whether in the warehouse, in the store, or on the production line, information is constantly changing – items, batches, storage locations, or statuses. Paper labels require a lot of effort, are rarely up to date, and are often difficult to read. With digital e-paper labels, markings can be updated centrally, ERP systems can be connected, and data can be updated in real time – without the need for manual label replacement on site.
Location, Track & Trace
In logistics centers, on factory premises, or in production, valuable time is often lost because materials or operating resources cannot be found immediately. IoT-based tracking solutions provide real-time transparency about the whereabouts of assets. This means that when certain goods arrive, follow-up processes can be triggered automatically, employees can be informed, or a status can be updated.
Computer Vision & AI
Important quality assurance processes are still based on manual and costly visual inspections: Is the delivery complete and has it been packed correctly? Does the weld seam meet our manufacturing and quality standards? Computer vision can be used to automate such tasks. Cameras and AI models detect unwanted deviations and provide timely and convenient information—proactively avoiding potential complaints.
Smart Building & Facility
Buildings and production facilities often have high energy demand – yet at the same time, there is often a lack of reliable data to get to the bottom of the ever-increasing costs. Use modern IoT technology to find out which rooms are actually being used and to what extent, where there is potential for savings in heating and air conditioning, or how you can light spaces efficiently. IoT sensor technology makes building requirements measurable and costs optimizable.
