Challenges

Uneven distribution of carts at multiple centers, resulting in a shortage of carts for shipping

Not knowing the appropriate number of caged cars, and the cost of buying more regularly

Caged cars are managed by the experience and sense of the person in charge

RFID and beacon technology for smarter asset management

Returnable Transport Items (RTIs), once managed by experience and intuition, can now be tracked through reliable, data-driven oversight.

Readings taken across the site automatically capture and centralize information, giving teams clear visibility into RTI locations and overall quantities.

BLE beacons add real-time tracking of caged vehicles, showing exactly how many are in each area and how they move throughout the facility.

This prevents uneven distribution and ensures cage cars are always available where and when they’re needed—and in the right quantities.

Benefits

BLE Beacons

Using 2.4GHz radio waves, BLE beacons enable communication speeds up to 1 Mbps. Their ultra-low-power chips consume just one-third the energy of conventional models, allowing them to operate for years on a single battery while delivering reliable, long-lasting tracking performance.

Automatic data conversion of holding status

A BLE beacon fixed to each cart continually transmits its location, giving teams full, real-time visibility into every unit.

With accurate inventory counts, you can prevent shortages without overstocking—reducing excess inventory costs.
