Stillage & packaging tracking
STILLAGE TRACKING
What can we do?
STILLAGE TRACKING
The costs of losing packaging
Replacement Costs
Organisations can lose or misplace 5%-15% of their inventory annually, leading to costly replacements.
Asset Blindness
Losing sight of a stillage means losing sight of the valuable asset it contains.
Admin Overhead
Dealing with missing stillages involves administrative headaches.
Inefficiency
Poor tracking leads to disruptions, impacting everything from material acquisition to product delivery.
STILLAGE TRACKING
Our solution
Smart GPS
+ BLE Tag
BLE Tags attached to stillages communicate with both Detectors and Smart GPS units. While on the road, the Tag adopts the location of the GPS.
Detector
Mounted Detectors record asset arrivals and departures. They communicate with the Pathfindr portal via cellular connection.
GPS Tracking
For high-value stillages, investing in a GPS tracker is highly beneficial. Simply attach a GPS tracker to your stillage, and it will provide location tracking anywhere. This ensures you always know the whereabouts of your valuable assets, offering peace of mind and minimizing the risk of loss.
Bluetooth Tracking
When GPS tracking is too costly or unnecessary, Bluetooth tags offer a practical alternative. By attaching Bluetooth tags to your stillages, these tags can communicate with Detectors at various points to register their arrival or departure. Alternatively, Smart GPS units in trucks can detect Bluetooth signals, allowing you to track when and where your stillages were last detected. This approach provides a cost-effective solution for monitoring assets that do not require precise location data.
Stillages play a vital role in ensuring smooth operations but are often neglected, leading to frequent losses and significant costs. Lack of visibility can cause various problems, including replacement expenses, wasted time, production stoppages, and supply chain disruptions. Thankfully, this issue can be effectively managed with the use of tracking devices.
Collaborate with Pathfindr to set up the Detector or GPS network and establish relevant locations throughout your supply chain.
