We automate. To us, automation is the improvement of a process using technology. Whether you need more precise product data, want to use your storage capacity more efficiently or want to track the whole trade flow – we’ve got the right solution for your needs. From incoming goods to the warehouse to outgoing goods we can help you to optimise every part of your intralogistics. Doing that, we can take care of every step starting from the very first concept until the bringing into service and the maintenance. We offer not only products like our DWS-system ‚Okapi‘, which can record all relevant product data (size, weight, barcode-information) of all kinds of packages, but also bespoke solutions for your individual problems. Don’t hesitate to contact us and we will find out, how we can help you.

Evertracker provides a NEUTRAL AND SMART CONTROL TOWER FOR GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAINS, allowing all parties to share neutral data to combine all status of all shipments through a single access point – enhanced with predictive analytics, deviation detection and smart data analytics. Neutral data is not critical data that doesn’t disclose business processes or personal data, but that describe goods and processes just enough to manage them efficiently and that are already shared by logistics service providers today (e.g. order quantity, time slot, current location data). Evertracker’s NEUTRAL AND SMART CONTROL TOWER FOR GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAINS, provides you with full transparency and predictability along your global supply chain without complex integration – we collaborate with your partners.

Evy Solutions is a Cologne-based software provider in the field of process automation. With Evy Xpact, Evy Solutions offers a solution for automated processing and analysis of documents such as delivery orders, delivery notes, customs documents, etc. For this purpose, Evy Solutions has developed its own Artificial Intelligence, which automatically classifies, reads and indexes documents and stores the captured data in the existing ERP system. What distinguishes Evy Xpact from other solutions is its text-based rather than position-based approach. This ensures a higher reliability. The benefit of Evy Xpact is a significant increase in efficiency. This results from time and cost savings, a reduced error rate and streamlined business processes. In addition, customer satisfaction is increased due to faster processing and reaction times. Have we aroused your interest? Then we look forward to your visit at our stand!

ForkOn is a logistics start-up with core competencies in the fields of intralogistics and process optimization. We combine years of industry knowledge with an innovative spirit and state-of-the-art IT solutions. Our manufacturer-independent software solution digitalizes and automates processes of forklift truck fleets by combining and analyzing all relevant data. The algorithm reliably evaluates the collected data and provides recommendations for action that significantly contribute to fleet optimization. This not only provides our customers with clearly structured data transparency, we also enable them to use resources efficiently, which can save up to 25% of their fleet costs. The aim of the program is to optimize the performance of forklift truck fleets by linking data and analysis through algorithms. The customer thus receives more information about their own fleet than ever before.

poolynk has developed a web portal to manage balances of outstanding pallets and containers between the partners in supply chains. Following the basic principle of online banking drivers and warehouse staff use a mobile app on any standard smart device to record the handover of reusable packing instead of filling in a piece of paper. All information is stored in a cloud whereas the resulting balances can be managed easily utilizing the poolynk web portal or any ERP system connected via interfaces in real time. Did you know, only 95 out of 100 reusable pallets and containers shipped in supply chains will come back after use? Save up to 60 Euro Cent for replacement of lost equipment and administration costs per pallet or container used in your supply chain, stop the endless paperwork and digitize a process that hasn't changed since the days of stage coaches and the pony express. poolynk - cost effective, digital and intuitive to use.

Searoutes has implemented a new CO2 tracking api for intermodal container transport. The model is based on accurate data from their APIs ecosystem and European standards compliant for all modes: sea, air, rail and road. "We want to allow shippers and freight forwarders to compute the greenest routes and compare the footprint of maritime carriers. Our mission is to make freight transportation become greener by optimizing routes." Searoutes is an API first company which brings accurate data to empower current digital supply chain solutions.

Founded in September 2018, SYNAOS GmbH from Hanover, Germany, already employs more than 50 people and develops software solutions to orchestrate the factory and logistics center of the future based on artificial intelligence and the latest cloud technology. The starting point is the optimization of intralogistic processes. There, SYNAOS software solutions control autonomous industrial vehicles and forklifts, that, for example, distribute goods in companies. The SYNAOS software ecosystem is complemented by solutions for the optimization of production processes. Here, machine scheduling is performed based on real-time information from the resources involved in production and in coordination with the planning of intralogistics.

Theftex offers a comprehensive tracking concept for localization and tracking of goods and vehicles - globally. A sophisticated software platform as well as efficient and low cost hardware components allow to track goods indoor and outdoor, in transit from sender to recipient. Processes can be easily digitized for higher transparency. You can use also the service of automated notification when thresholds are exceeded. Next to GPS position parameters like temperature, light, motion can be also measured. Our tracking solution is based on a NB-IoT technology with the benefits of power efficiency, long operational performance at low cost.
