➡️ Why Logistics 4.0 Isn’t Easy

• Production steps and parts were tracked manually by entering data into the software by hand
• Outdated and inaccurate information, such as unlogged movements (e.g., shifting pallets to create space) or overlooked shipping processes

➡️ The Solution: The Interplay of Smart IoT Devices and Software

Track & trace caters to many different applications, but at the heart of all of them is KINEXON OS Platform. This operating system integrates all location data and combines it with floor plans of the production facilities, maps of the company’s premises, and any production data and rules that have been stored in the system.

💬 Yannick Dix, Project Manager at the Hannover Site at MTU says: "The advantages for the processes in our production are clear, but we’re also seeing some major benefits for our maintenance and repair business, which is intrinsically more volatile and therefore less easy to plan.”

💬Lucas Burg, Team Lead Logistics Planning of MTU puts in: "Real-time data and information collected by the system will give us a more efficient way to manage and plan logistics concepts along the entire supply chain. This won’t apply just to MTU parts, but also to all sorts of other resources, such as tools, fixtures and any other materials that MTU uses to add value.”
