Based on how our real-time location tracking has helped Budweiser Budvar Distribution Center to increase their process efficiency, we believe that the application of precise indoor positioning will skyrocket your company’s productivity and safety. Here’s how! 

Streamline your logistics operations and never misplace a single pallet! Just as at Budweiser Distribution Center, where forklift operators now always know where to go to load/unload any one of their 20,000 pallets.

Analytics such as OEE, heatmaps, and spaghetti diagrams represent the only source of truth as well as the needed insights for process optimization and warehouse utilization. You can increase your warehouse utilization by 19% just as Budweiser did.

Leverage real-time tracking to improve your booking processes and ensure that the correct products and quantities are delivered to your customers. Send automatic alerts every time an item is placed at a wrong spot, loaded to an incorrect truck or missing in a batch.

Thanks to a real-time location system, you can instantly know the true position of each of your thousands of pallets. And you do not need thousands of tracking devices to do so – simply track the forklifts’ movements and their (un)loading operations.

At any moment, there are 15 forklifts and dozens of people passing closely by them in the vast 161,458 ft2 distribution hall of Budweiser. Without a collision prevention system in place, such an environment is prone to serious incidents, making it challenging to ensure everyone’s safety.
