WIP-zichtbaarheid van blind tot 99,2% over zes productielijnen.
Een multinationale FMCG-verpakkingsfabriek had geen realtime overzicht van het werk in uitvoering over zes lijnen en reconcileerde pallets met de hand.
Waar ze tegenover stonden.
Geen realtime WIP-locatie
Zes productielijnen draaiden zonder live zicht op waar het werk in uitvoering zich daadwerkelijk bevond.
Handmatige dockafstemming
Pallet-niveau dockdeur-afstemming was een handmatig, foutgevoelig proces.
Traceerbaarheidsgaten
Lacunes in traceerbaarheid brachten het risico op bevindingen tegen IATF en klantcontroles.
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.
We hebben een leveranciersneutrale Passive RFID-architectuur ontworpen bij cellen en dockdeuren, en genormaliseerde de reads in de MES via een leveranciersneutrale eventbus zodat de radiolaag vervangbaar blijft.
Wat we hebben geleverd.
- Passive RFID WIP over zes lijnen plus palletniveau-dockafstemming
- Een event bus die normaliseert leest in de MES
- Andon-alerts en live-analyses op de lijn
Het resultaat zag de commissie.
De stapel erachter
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.
Koperschecklist, leveranciersuitdagingen en engagementvorm
For FMCG WIP, test product detuning and washdown survival before accepting apparel-retail accuracy analogies.
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.
