Which technologies do you consult on?

All of the major location, identification and IoT technologies: RTLS (UWB, BLE, Wi-Fi), RFID (passive, active and RAIN UHF), industrial IoT and sensors, GPS and GNSS, AGV and AMR robot fleets, and hybrid stacks that combine them. We recommend the right mix for each zone and use case, not a single technology.

Are you really vendor-neutral?

Yes. We do not sell hardware or a software platform of our own, and we take no resale commissions, so our technology and vendor recommendations serve your outcome rather than a product we need to move.

Do you work outside the UK?

We are UK-based and work across Europe and internationally, delivering in English, German and French. Engagements can be remote or on-site depending on the work.

What does a consulting engagement include?

Typically discovery and requirements, vendor-neutral technology selection, vendor evaluation and RFP support, ROI and business case, solution architecture, and an implementation roadmap. We scope each engagement to where you are.

Can you help after the decision is made?

Yes. We work across the full lifecycle - we can also deploy, integrate, and operate the system, so you can keep one independent team from business case through to live operation.

How do we get started?

Usually with a short call or a fixed-fee discovery to scope the problem, followed by a proposal with clear deliverables, timeline and fees. There is no obligation and no platform pitch.

How do you handle Betriebsrat consultation?

Built into stage 1 of every staff-tracking engagement in Germany. Works council representatives are included in scoping conversations, design reviews and pilot validation. Schedule typically includes 6–12 weeks of consultation time before any production rollout.

Are you GDPR-compliant for German deployments?

Yes — we are GDPR-controller-aware for all engagements; we operate Auftragsverarbeitungsvertrag (DPA) instruments with clients as required. See /compliance/gdpr.

Do you work with KION / Dematic / Jungheinrich on AGV deployments?

Yes — we are independent advisor alongside these vendors. We have run mixed-vendor VDA 5050 deployments for automotive clients combining KION-group, MIR and third-party AMRs under a single master control.

Can you serve Austria and Switzerland from this practice?

Yes — DACH region is one practice. Most German-based engagements extend naturally to Austria and Switzerland; we adapt for Swiss-specific regulatory considerations (FADP, FINMA) as relevant.

Industrias alemanas que cubrimos

Automoción: Tier 1 and OEM plants across Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Lower Saxony, Saxony. WIP tracking, kit assembly verification, AGV/AMR fleet orchestration with VDA 5050.

Maschinenbau: industrial machinery telemetry, condition monitoring, returnable-asset tracking. Logistics and intralogistics: AGV/AMR-heavy warehouses (KION, Dematic, Jungheinrich ecosystem), 3PL networks, container logistics.

Sanidad: university clinics, large private hospital groups (Helios, Asklepios, Vivantes). Defensa: BWI infrastructure, defence-industrial primes, Bundeswehr-adjacent contractors. Energy and utilities: chemical and pharma cluster Ludwigshafen, offshore wind North Sea.

Ajuste regulatorio y de cumplimiento

DSGVO / GDPR: staff tracking and patient location both engage GDPR; Betriebsrat (works council) consultation required for staff systems — often the gating factor on schedule. BSI IT-Grundschutz: cybersecurity baseline for connected RTLS systems in critical infrastructure.

VDA 5050: AGV/AMR interoperability standard, originating from the German automotive industry — essential for mixed-fleet master control.

BAföG / Krankenkassen reimbursement: indirect funding for healthcare deployments. We design for these in stage 1. See /compliance/gdpr and /solutions/fleet-orchestration.

Ecosistema alemán de proveedores y socios de despliegue

Strong German and German-adjacent vendor presence: KION Group (AGV/AMR — Linde, STILL, Dematic, MIR), Jungheinrich (warehouse robotics), Siemens (industrial IoT), Bosch (sensor and silicon), Infineon (BLE silicon).

UWB vendors (Sewio, Ubisense, Pozyx, Sewio) all active in DACH. RFID vendors (Avery Dennison Smartrac is German-Austrian, Confidex strong). System integrator network across automotive cluster regions.

Cómo nos relacionamos con clientes alemanes

Scoping engagements run remotely; on-site visits regular during pilot and rollout. Engagements run in English and German; deliverables in German on request.

Works-council consultation support is a core part of engagements involving staff tracking — we have run these for healthcare and large industrial clients. See /compliance/works-council-consultation.

Estudios de caso específicos de Alemania

Estudios de caso anonimizados en seguimiento de WIP automovilístico (UWB), orquestación de flotas AGV (VDA 5050 con flota mixta de proveedores), RFID de grado farmacéutico con serialización (equivalentes DSCSA en la UE) y RTLS sanitaria en clínicas universitarias. Referencias llamables con permiso. Véase /case-studies.

Preguntas frecuentes

¿Sprechen Sie Deutsch?

Los contratos se imparten en inglés y alemán según la preferencia del cliente. Entregables (documentos de alcance, RFPs, evaluaciones) proporcionados en cualquiera de los dos lenguajes. Muchos proyectos de DACH son bilingües por diseño.

¿Cómo gestionas la consulta de Betriebsrat?

Integrado en la fase 1 de cada enfrentamiento de seguimiento del personal en Alemania. Los representantes del consejo de empresa participan en conversaciones sobre el alcance, revisiones de diseño y validación de pilotos. El calendario suele incluir entre 6 y 12 semanas de consulta antes de cualquier lanzamiento de producción.

¿Cumples con el RGPD para despliegues alemanes?

Sí — estamos conscientes del controlador del RGPD para todos los compromisos; operamos instrumentos Auftragsverarbeitungsvertrag (DPA) con clientes según sea necesario. Consulta /compliance/gdpr.

¿Trabajas con KION / Dematic / Jungheinrich en despliegues de AGV?

Sí — somos asesores independientes junto a estos proveedores. Hemos realizado despliegues VDA 5050 mixtos para clientes automotrices combinando KION-group, MIR y AMR s de terceros bajo un único control maestro.

¿Se puede servir a Austria y Suiza con esta práctica?

Sí — la región DACH es una de las prácticas. La mayoría de los enfrentamientos con base en Alemania se extienden naturalmente a Austria y Suiza; nos adaptamos a consideraciones regulatorias específicas de Suiza (FADP, FINMA) según corresponda.
