Transparent inventories

Efficient bulk material logistics with sensor-based OWL EYE® material inventory tracking and digital VAS® yard management

The combination of sensor-based material tracking with OWL EYE® from Sachtleben Technology and the digital yard management solution VAS® from Axians IAS leads to greater transparency, efficiency, and automation in bulk material logistics. The integration of both systems provides accurate real-time data on material inventories, eliminating the need for manual reconciliation and optimizing delivery processes through the automation of logistics workflows.

 

The challenge: Inaccurate or non-integrated material inventory information

In the building materials industry, efficiency in plant logistics is a decisive competitive factor. Precise material flows, transparent inventory levels, and smooth loading processes are essential, especially in bulk material plants such as gravel, sand, or mixing plants. However, manual processes, inaccurate inventory data, and inefficient workflows still dominate in many places.

Another weak point is isolated applications, meaning that information on material stocks, if it is digitized at all, is often not available...
