CargoTracer
Description
The BPW Innovation Lab undertakes logistical case studies and develops completely new approaches to solutions based on the opportunities offered by digitisation. In this way, the BPW Group’s think tank, which is situated in Siegburg, developed a completely new tracking solution for digital goods tracking that significantly improves transparency in the supply chain: the BPW CargoTracer. The handy sensor, which is attached to the goods or the goods carrier, uses ultra-narrow-band technology to transmit the position and condition of the goods via the cloud in ERP and inventory management systems. For the first time, this brings transparency to the transport route, which has so far been the »black hole« in digital goods control. The ideas for such solutions are elaborated upon in workshops with individual customers and in group sessions, before being tested in intensive cooperation with them. In this process, the BPW Innovation Lab consistently relies on agile methods such as Design Thinking.
