From flat glass finishers to window and door manufacturers: The members of Gestellpool cover all areas when it comes to the further processing of glass. As a service provider, Gestellpool takes care of the complete management of the special transport racks used to transport fragile goods. The company looks after 177,000 transport racks throughout Europe. Rackpool provides the infrastructure for members to track their racks, handles communication with customers and notifies members when racks are available. <\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Initial situation<\/strong><\/h4>\n

As a service provider, Gestellpool attaches great importance to technological innovation. Every rack managed by Gestellpool is digitally recorded. Upon delivery to the construction site or to the customer, the employees of the rack pool members simply scan the barcode of the rack. This means that the delivery location for each rack can be clearly viewed on the Gestellpool GESAweb digital platform.<\/p>\n

If the racks are free, members’ customers can simply report them as “free” with just a few clicks via the website or their own rack pool scanner app. The member company receives the notification and can send its employees to collect it. However, the system has its shortcomings, as it is not possible to track what happens to the frame after delivery. This makes collection more difficult and some racks are even lost completely.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Requirements and concept:<\/strong><\/p>\n

System for tracking more than 177,000 transport racks<\/strong><\/h4>\n

To create more transparency about the transport racks, Gestellpool turns to Heliot. Gestellpool develops a concept together with the IoT experts. The idea: the transport racks are equipped with intelligent radio trackers. Each time the racks are moved, they send their location data via the Sigfox 0G network. This means that each one can be located and tracked down at any time. The Heliot Cloud, in which the data from the racks flows together, is simply integrated into the GESA platform via an interface. Members can easily call up the important data for their racks here.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Solution<\/strong>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prevent theft with tamper protection<\/strong><\/h4>\n

After implementation and before the official product launch, Gestellpool initially tested the system with three of its members and the results were convincing. In outdoor areas, racks can be tracked with an accuracy of 30 meters. This means that the system automatically recognizes incorrect release addresses and gives the employees who collect the racks the exact position data. This enables them to find and identify the right racks much more quickly, even on confusing construction sites. Unsuccessful collections can be significantly reduced. Another advantage: thanks to tamper protection, members and the rack pool receive an immediate notification if a third party attempts to unscrew the transmitter. In this way, the loss of racks can be specifically prevented.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Customer benefits<\/strong>: <\/strong> <\/p>\n

Circulation speed increased by 25 percent<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The test shows: The concept works. With the tracking solution, members not only have a better overview of their racks, they are also available again much more quickly. An evaluation has shown: The circulation of a rack with a tracker can be increased by almost 25 percent compared to racks without a tracker. The Sigfox 0G network is a particular advantage. It is now available almost everywhere in the DACH region and many other European countries. “With the good network coverage, the racks of the rack pool members can also be easily tracked for deliveries abroad. The 0G network is an inexpensive alternative to expensive broadband communication, for example via the mobile network. The transmitters are also extremely low-maintenance. They transmit data reliably for up to six years – after which the battery can simply be replaced. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\"With our tracking system, which we developed with Heliot, our transport racks become as transparent as the freight they carry. This brings significant added value for our members. Not only can they be tracked more easily, they are also available again much more quickly. This was also made possible by the excellent cooperation with Heliot. It took just one year from the initial idea to the commissioning of our system. The IoT specialists have a lot of experience in asset tracking from very different industries and know what is important. After just a few months, we have already equipped 250 of our customers' racks with trackers and new ones are being added all the time - a truly successful project.\" <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
