Fluxo do lado da linha, otimizado — de reativo para preditivo.
Um fornecedor automotivo global enfrentou gargalos devido ao atraso no reabastecimento na linha de rodagem, congestionamento do AGV e baixa visibilidade em tempo real de paletes, carrinhos e estoques de WIP.
Contra o que eles estavam enfrentando.
Atrasos no reabastecimento
Material ao lado da linha chegou tarde, estagnando a produção.
Congestionamento do AGV
Conflitos de rotas desaceleravam a frota robótica e criavam zonas de colisão.
Sem visibilidade ao vivo do WIP
Paletes, carrinhos e o WIP ficaram invisíveis em tempo real.
Identidade do cliente preservada por confidencialidade. Os números refletem resultados de implantações RTLS/RFID comparáveis; os seus próprios números dependem do caso de uso, do ambiente e da execução.
Neutro em relação ao fornecedor, orientado pelo resultado.
Orquestração híbrida — UWB para roteamento e zonas de colisão de alta precisão, AGV em paletes, bins e carrinhos de materiais, telemetria AGV para inteligência de rotas, e mapas de calor de IA para análise de gargalo e tempo ocioso.
O que entregamos.
- UWB RTLS para roteamento e zonas de colisão AGV de alta precisão
- Etiquetas BLE em paletes, caixas e carrinhos de materiais
- Integração de telemetria AGV para inteligência de rotas

A pilha atrás dela

Programme pattern for this 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, risk and what we refuse to claim
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.
Implementation sequence and 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.
Buyer checklist, vendor challenges and engagement shape
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; vendor-neutral 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.
