Van het beheren van robots tot het optimaliseren van een intelligente vloot.
A manufacturer running AMR s and AGV s had limited visibility into route congestion, charging downtime, idle fleet utilisation and cross-zone movement inefficiencies.
Waar ze tegenover stonden.
Routecongestie
Robotverkeer veroorzaakte congestiehotspots in verschillende zones.
Stationaire en laadtijd
Het gebruik en het toestellen van de vloot waren onbeheerd.
Geen vlootniveau zicht
Robots werden beheerd als individuele machines, niet als een vloot.
Identiteit van de klant vertrouwelijk gehouden. De cijfers weerspiegelen resultaten van vergelijkbare RTLS/RFID-implementaties; uw eigen cijfers hangen af van use case, omgeving en uitvoering.
Leveranciersneutraal, resultaatgericht.
UWB for real-time robotic positioning, BLE for asset-interaction tracking, AGV / AMR telemetry for route analytics, and AI orchestration for congestion, idle-time and predictive movement optimisation.
Wat we hebben geleverd.
- UWB RTLS realtime robotpositionering
- BLE asset-interactie tracking
- AGV / AMR telemetry route analytics
- AI-vlootorkestratie — congestie, idle, voorspellende optimalisatie
Het resultaat zag de commissie.
"We zijn gestopt met het beheren van robots als individuele machines en zijn begonnen ze te optimaliseren als een intelligente vloot."

Governance, risico en wat we weigeren te claimen
Composite example only. Your payback depends on adoption, integration quality and exception labour — not tag unit cost. Named references under NDA on engagement.
We challenge any vendor who asks you to accept demo-day averages as production truth.
Implementatiesequentie en change management
Inventory OEM consoles and event payloads. Normalise to an operations schema. Join location. Build exception runbooks. Avoid renewing lock-in via 'free' cloud that blocks export.
KPIs: mean time to recover blocked missions, utilisation by mission type for CapEx decisions.
Koperschecklist, leveranciersuitdagingen en engagementvorm
For fleet intelligence, require event export and schema control so OEM clouds cannot trap your operations data.
Buyer checklist before you sign: (1) written system of record for events; (2) acceptance tests with 95th-percentile performance under real interference; (3) integration owner named in IT/OT; (4) privacy or labour consultation path if people are tagged; (5) cybersecurity zoning sketch; (6) five-year TCO including batteries, spares, recalibration and SLA escalations; (7) exit/export terms so you are not hostage to a cloud tenant; (8) a pilot that can fail without political punishment.
Vendor claims to challenge in this pattern: brochure accuracy without production load; 'compliance included' without artefacts; ROI that assumes perfect adoption in 30 days; references that cannot be called under NDA; install partners who have never worked your vertical's overlays; shared support accounts; and any design that dumps locating onto a flat plant or clinical VLAN.
How TRACIO typically engages: stage-1 architecture and measurement design; leveranciersneutraal shortlist and RFP language; pilot acceptance criteria; then optional implementation oversight or programme rescue if a prior pilot stalled. We stay independent of hardware margin. Composite pages like this one exist so you can prepare the workshop — your numbers replace every planning band when we model payback.
Risk register themes that recur: mute fatigue on alerts; shadow spreadsheets reappearing beside the platform; battery logistics understaffed; master data too weak to support identity; works-council or IG review starting too late; and success declared on demo day before night-shift reality.
Document baseline windows explicitly: what you measured, for how long, which shifts, and what you excluded. Investment committees and auditors both punish fuzzy before/after stories. If your baseline is weak, spend two to four weeks fixing measurement before ordering anchors or portals. That discipline is cheaper than a stranded deployment and is the difference between a locating programme and a technology souvenir.
