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.

Sprechen Sie Deutsch?

Engagements run in English and German depending on client preference. Deliverables (scoping documents, RFPs, evaluations) provided in either language. Many DACH engagements are bilingual by design.

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.

Duitse industrieën die we behandelen

Automobiel: 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.

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

Regelgevende en compliance-fit

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.

Duitse leverancier en implementatiepartnerecosysteem

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.

Hoe we contact maken met Duitse klanten

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.

Duitse specifieke casestudy's

Geanonimiseerde casestudy's in automotive WIP-tracking (UWB), AGV vlootorkestratie (VDA 5050 met gemengde leveranciersvloot), farmaceutische RFID met serialisatie (DSCSA EU-equivalenten), en gezondheidszorg-RTLS in universitaire klinieken. Referenties kunnen met toestemming worden opgeroepen. Zie /case-studies.

FAQ

Veelgestelde vragen

Sprechen ze Duits?

Opdrachten verlopen in het Engels en Duits, afhankelijk van de voorkeur van de klant. Deliverables (scopingdocumenten, RFP's, evaluaties) worden in beide talen aangeboden. Veel DACH-engagements zijn van ontwerp tweetalig.

Hoe behandelt u de Begeleidingsconsultatie?

Ingebouwd in fase 1 van elke stafvolgopdracht in Duitsland. Vertegenwoordigers van de Works Council worden betrokken bij scopinggesprekken, ontwerpbeoordelingen en pilotvalidatie. Het schema omvat doorgaans 6–12 weken consultatietijd voordat de productie wordt uitgerold.

Ben je GDPR-conform voor Duitse implementaties?

Ja — wij zijn voor alle verplichtingen verantwoordelijk voor de AVG; wij beheren Auftragsverarbeitungsvertrag (DPA) instrumenten met klanten waar nodig. Zie /compliance/GDPR.

Werk je samen met KION / Dematic / Jungheinrich aan AGV-implementaties?

Ja — wij zijn onafhankelijke adviseurs naast deze leveranciers. We hebben VDA 5050-implementaties van verschillende leveranciers uitgevoerd voor automotive klanten, waarbij we KION-groep, MIR en derdepartij AMR onder één master control combineren.

Kun je Oostenrijk en Zwitserland bedienen vanuit deze praktijk?

Ja — DACH-regio is één praktijk. De meeste in Duitsland gestationeerde gevechten streken zich natuurlijk uit tot Oostenrijk en Zwitserland; we passen ons aan voor Zwitserse specifieke regelgeving (FADP, FINMA) waar relevant.
