Real-time inventory tracking.
Without tags. Without batteries. Without waste.
Gain full visibility over your inventory, forklifts, vehicles and materials — indoors and outdoors, in real time, with minimal hardware and maximum ROI.
Cabling Industry — Real-Time Tracking at Scale
coils tracked by monitoring only 12 forklifts
visibility across indoor and outdoor production areas
The Challenge
Cabling production is one of the harshest environments for radio-based tracking:
- Massive metal objects and signal reflections
- Strong magnetic fields
- High mechanical stress on tracked assets
- Constant movement, collisions and rotation
At the same time, even small material errors mean millions in losses.
The Solution
Tag-less 3D tracking delivered by Zealabs. Instead of tagging 10,000+ coils, only 12 forklifts were equipped with:
- UWB localization
- QR code identification
- Weight and lift sensors
- Real-time navigation and control
Every coil movement is recorded automatically — without batteries on assets.
Measurable Results
"The ROI was achieved by just one use case. All the others exceeded our expectations."
Where supply chains lose money
Lost or misplaced inventory
Hours wasted daily searching for materials across warehouses and outdoor yards. Poor visibility equals poor productivity.
Excess stock and tied capital
Inventory gaps, shrinkage and stock-outs caused by inaccurate data. Working capital sitting idle on shelves.
Inefficient movement and handling
Manual scanning creates bottlenecks. Suboptimal forklift routes waste time, fuel and operator capacity.
Reduce cost by systematically eliminating waste
Reduce operational and inventory costs
Cut search time, optimize routes, reduce excess stock and tied capital.
Improve safety and productivity
Live monitoring prevents unauthorized movements, optimizes forklift operations and reduces damage.
Optimize space, time and movement
Better space utilization, faster picking and dispatch, shorter handling times.
Build a measurable business case
Turn physical material flow into live, actionable data with clear ROI tracking.
- ✓Scalable to tens of thousands of items, indoors and outdoors
- ✓Each item tracked by: position, batch date, aging, order status, condition
- ✓Works with pallets, gitterboxes, coils, slabs, tanks, kegs — any ID-based unit
Where to apply the solution
Production
Digital dynamic visibility from raw materials to finished goods
- Work-in-process tracking across production lines
- Material flow control: input → WIP → finished goods
- Real-time production status and cycle time monitoring
- Process intelligence and bottleneck detection
- UWB RTLS accuracy (10–40 cm)
- Integration with MES/ERP systems
- Traceability by batch, order and production date
Automatic pairing and real-time positioning
Hardware
- 01UWB RTLS positioning infrastructure (10–40 cm accuracy)
- 02Positioning tags (forklifts, vehicles, zones)
- 03Driver displays (digital picking orders, route optimization)
- 04ID readers (barcode, RFID, QR — any standard you use)
- 05Optional scanner covers with integrated positioning tags
Software
- API / SaaS platform for real-time data access
- Custom visualization and dashboards
- Business logic: alerts, workflows, KPI tracking
