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.

LOCATION · DEUTSCHLAND

RTLS, RFID e IoT Beratung — Deutschland.

Industrie tedesche che copriamo

Automobilistica: 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.

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

Adattamento normativo e di conformità

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 tedesco di fornitori e partner di distribuzione

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.

Come interagiamo con i clienti tedeschi

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.

Studi di caso specifici tedeschi

Casi di studio anonimizzati nel tracciamento WIP automobilistico (UWB), nell'orchestrazione della flotta AGV (VDA 5050 con flotta di fornitori misti), RFID di livello farmaceutico con serializzazione (equivalenti DSCSA UE) e nel settore sanitario RTLS presso cliniche universitarie. Riferimenti richiamabili con permesso. Vedi /case-studies.

Domande frequenti

Sprechen Sie Deutsch?

Gli incarichi si svolgono in inglese e tedesco a seconda delle preferenze del cliente. Deliverable (documenti di ambito definitivo, RFP, valutazioni) forniti in entrambe le lingue. Molti impegni DACH sono progettati bilingue.

Come gestite la consulenza su Betriebsrat?

Integrato nella fase 1 di ogni impegno di monitoraggio dello staff in Germania. I rappresentanti del comitato di lavoro sono inclusi nelle conversazioni sull'ambito di ambito, nelle revisioni di design e nella validazione dei piloti. Il programma prevede tipicamente 6–12 settimane di consulenza prima di qualsiasi lancio della produzione.

Sei conforme al GDPR per le implementazioni tedesche?

Sì — siamo consapevoli del GDPR controller per tutti gli impegni; gestiamo strumenti Auftragsverarbeitungsvertrag (DPA) con i clienti secondo necessità. Vedi /compliance/gdpr.

Lavori con KION / Dematic / Jungheinrich per le implementazioni di AGV?

Sì — siamo consulenti indipendenti insieme a questi fornitori. Abbiamo eseguito implementazioni VDA 5050 con fornitori misti per clienti automobilistici, combinando KION-group, MIR e AMR s di terze parti sotto un unico controllo master.

Si può servire Austria e Svizzera con questa pratica?

Sì — la regione DACH è una delle pratiche. La maggior parte degli scontri tedeschi si estende naturalmente all'Austria e alla Svizzera; ci adattiamo alle considerazioni normative specifiche della Svizzera (FADP, FINMA) secondo i requisiti.
