Lijn-zijde stroom, geoptimaliseerd — van reactief naar voorspellend.
Een wereldwijde automobielleverancier kreeg te maken met knelpunten door vertraagde bevoorrading langs de lijn, congestie door AGV en slechte live zichtbaarheid van pallets, karren en WIP-voorraad.
Waar ze tegenover stonden.
Bevoorradingsvertragingen
Materiaal aan de kant van de lijn arriveerde laat, waardoor de productie stagneerde.
AGV congestie
Routeconflicten vertraagden de robotvloot en creëerden botsingszones.
Geen zichtbaarheid in live WIP
Pallets, karren en werkzaamheden waren in realtime onzichtbaar.
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.
Hybride orkestratie — UWB voor hoognauwkeurige AGV-routering en botsingszones, BLE op pallets, bakken en materiaalkarren, AGV-telemetrie voor route-intelligentie, en AI-heatmaps voor bottleneck- en idle-time-analyse.
Wat we hebben geleverd.
- UWB RTLS voor zeer nauwkeurige AGV-routerings- en botsingszones
- BLE-tags op pallets, bakken en materiaalkarren
- AGV telemetrie-integratie voor route-intelligentie
- AI-heatmaps — bottleneck & zichtbaarheid in idle-time
Het resultaat zag de commissie.
"Locatie-intelligentie transformeerde onze productielogistiek van reactief naar voorspellend."

Programmapatroon voor deze vertical
AGV/AMR material-flow programmes need locating plus fleet orchestration awareness (VDA 5050 contexts in Europe). Advisory focus: traffic rules, handoff accuracy, and integration — not selling robots.
Pilot one loop with mixed traffic before site-wide claims.
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
Advisory first: traffic rules, mixed traffic pilot, event schema, VDA 5050-aware orchestration where relevant. Cyber zoning for fleet masters. Human tug inclusion in the model.
KPIs: blocked-time, mission success, cycle variance. We do not sell AMRs — we prevent stranded fleets.
Koperschecklist, leveranciersuitdagingen en engagementvorm
For AGV material flow, pilot mixed traffic and blocked-time KPIs; treat robot count as a vanity metric.
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.
