Manufacturing: Throughput without blind spots

See work-in-progress across lines, cells, and storage

Manufacturing performance depends on flow. FORMATION connects your Map to assets and work zones, giving supervisors and teams a live view of where things are, what is blocked, and what is ready. Use Map Markers, QR Code Tags, and Hybrid Tracking to cover everything from high-value tools to bulk materials.
  • Real-time visibility across production areas and buffer zones.
  • Reduce search time for parts, tools, and fixtures.
  • Surface bottlenecks with heatmaps and path analysis.
  • Track WIP aging and handoffs between teams.

Logistics: Make flow visible from dock to yard

Track pallets, containers, vehicles, and equipment across the site

Logistics teams need speed and certainty. FORMATION combines passive QR Code Tracking with active RTLS to locate assets across warehouses, yards, and cross-docks. Use Geofencing to trigger actions when assets enter or leave zones and keep dwell times under control.
  • Locate inbound and outbound assets in seconds.
  • Reduce dwell time with zone-based alerts.
  • Coordinate yard movements with live Map context.
  • Cover indoor and outdoor operations with Hybrid Tracking.

Cradle-to-grave tracking across the supply chain

Never lose track of anything, all the way to the customer

FORMATION keeps a complete history of every asset movement, from inbound receiving to customer delivery and returns. QR Code Tracking and RTLS share a single Map so teams can search fast, verify handoffs, and audit the full lifecycle.

Hybrid Tracking for everything you move

Passive and active tracking in one Workspace

Track high-value assets with RTLS and cover the long tail with QR Code Tags. FORMATION brings both together on one Map so teams can search, update locations, and complete tasks without switching systems.

    Measured impact on search time and throughput

    Target 5%+ search time reduction and 5–10% throughput gains

    Industry teams use FORMATION to reduce time lost to searching and waiting. The typical goal is a 5%+ reduction in search time per worker per day and 5–10% improved workspace throughput by making every asset visible and reducing blind spots.

    The Bundeswehr logistics program at Jülich shows what’s possible at scale. The Cyber Innovation Hub reported double vehicle throughput, 10% higher team productivity, and 38 minutes saved per worker per day after deploying FORMATION across the facility.
