SmartLabel Cloud

SmartLabel Cloud is a modular label solution that displays crucial product information, real-time order status, and delivery dates at your fingertips. Orders can be authorized directly at the point of use, eliminating unnecessary delays. The integrated LED enables pick-to-light functionality, for a quick and easy refill.

The e-paper display technology grants great readability and an extended battery life of up to 5 years.

SmartBin Cloud

SmartBin Cloud combines our digital weighing system SmartBin with our digital label system SmartLabel. The motion-triggered weight sensor ensures that every pick or refill instantaneously updates stock and order information, offering a real-time, transparent view of stock levels.

The SmartLabel on each bin provides at-a-glance insights into order statuses and product information. When stock reaches a predetermined reorder point, the system takes autonomous action, initiating a new order.

SmartBin Cloud leverages the latest IoT communication protocols, seamlessly integrating with your existing infrastructure.

SmartLocker

SmartLocker is a fully automated, intelligent and access-controlled inventory system. It is ideal for storing your consumables and high value items.

The stored items can only be accessed by RFID recognition allowing full access- and usage-control. Moreover, SmartLocker automatically informs you on replenishment needs and all relevant inventory data is transmitted to the ARIMS operation dashboard.

SmartShelf

SmartShelf is the Kanban solution for bulky goods that can still be stored in a shelf. It consists of several interconnected smart scales that reliably display the total weight placed on them. Via the integrated SmartLabel, reorders can be triggered manually or automatically when the weight falls below the notification weight.

SmartPallet

SmartPallets are used for centralized and decentralized Kanban pools at the point of use.

The wireless connected SmartPallets are implemented to store heavy and bulky items with a high volume. This solution can manage voluminous materials weighing up to 1,000 kg.

Customized Solutions

As all our system components – such as the scales, SmartLabels and the AI-powered ARIMS software interact seamlessly via WiFi, customer-specific solutions are possible.

For example, our customer ABB created a central reordering-hub with SmartLabels for the cable reels you can see here in the background.
