Why Location Intelligence?

Location Intelligence delivers real-time transparency across production and logistics processes. By transforming real-time data into actionable insights, it helps identify bottlenecks, optimize material flow and improve operational decision-making. 

Manufacturers benefit from higher throughput, faster response times, reduced search efforts and reliable, data-driven workflows that increase efficiency and competitiveness across the entire plant.

Increase transparency in workflows

Real-time visibility of assets, orders and material flow reduces search times, improves quality and provides a complete overview of all production and intralogistics processes.

Experience faster response through real-time analytics

Position-based real-time analytics make deviations immediately visible. Bottlenecks, delaysand anomalies can be detected early and resolved faster to keep production running smoothly.

Unlock optimized workflows and lower operating costs

Improve production and logistics efficiency with position- and event-based automation. Minimize manual effort, optimize transport routes and reduce costs through data-driven process optimization.

Featured capabilities

Real-time asset visualization

Monitor the current position and movement of mobile assets directly within a digital factory layout. Interactive maps provide intuitive insights into asset locations, routes, and status, enabling users to quickly locate orders, materials, tools, or containers across the shop floor.

Historical route and movement analysis

Analyze historical movement data to retrace asset routes over time. This capability allows detailed investigation of transport paths, dwell times and deviations, supporting root-cause analysis and continuous improvement initiatives based on real production data.

Seamless IT and OT integration

Easily integrate real-time data into existing IT and OT systems such as MES, ERP and automation controllers. Open interfaces enable location-based events, data exchange and process synchronization across systems, supporting scalable and future-ready digital architectures.
