In cooperation with

Location data from sensors on equipment such

as scanners and material handling equipment

(MHE), and shelf locations are transmitted

centrally in real time and wirelessly via existing Wi-Fi

infrastructure within the warehouse.

Data from these

locations are aggregated

and overlaid with

warehouse order

activities from the warehouse

management system on-site and

mapped against the warehouse

layout, providing a visual

representation of all data in real-

time with heat maps and location

geotags that evolve over the course

of the day.

n Operational efficiencies

through process improvement

or warehouse layout redesign

n Asset utilization gains

n Improvement of safety

blind spots

BENEFITS

HOW IT WORKS

POTENTIAL USE CASES FOR IOT SOLUTION

IOT IS THE CONNECTION OF ALMOST ANYTHINGThe Internet of Things (IOT) is the networked connection of physical

objects that may also serve a multiplicity of other purposes. With one

trillion sensors expected to be connected to the Internet by 2020, the potential

of IoT to change the way we live and work is revolutionary.

IOT solution in three smart ware-

houses lends visual intelligence to

data for easier, more agile and

meaningful decision making

Real-time data visualization of

warehouse activities enables use

cases for operational efficiency,

and health & safety gains

IOT solution developed in partner-

ship with Wi-Fi infrastructure and

operational data visualization
