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.

Ajuste regulatório e de conformidade

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.

Como nos relacionamos com clientes alemães

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.

Estudos de caso específicos da Alemanha

Estudos de caso anonimizados em rastreamento de WIP automotivo (UWB), orquestração de frotas AGV (VDA 5050 com frota de fornecedores mistos), RFID de nível farmacêutico com serialização (equivalentes DSCSA EU) e RTLS em saúde em clínicas universitárias. Referências podem ser chamadas com permissão. Veja /case-studies.

FAQ

Perguntas frequentes

Sprechen Sie Deutsch?

Os contratos são realizados em inglês e alemão, dependendo da preferência do cliente. Entregáveis (documentos de escopo, RFPs, avaliações) fornecidos em qualquer um dos idiomas. Muitos engajamentos com DACH são bilíngues por design.

Como você lida com a consulta com Betriebsrat?

Incorporado à fase 1 de cada engajamento de acompanhamento de equipe na Alemanha. Representantes do conselho de obras participam das conversas sobre escopo, revisões de design e validação de pilotos. O cronograma normalmente inclui de 6 a 12 semanas de consulta antes de qualquer lançamento da produção.

Você está em conformidade com o GDPR para implantações na Alemanha?

Sim — estamos cientes do controle do GDPR para todos os compromissos; operamos instrumentos Auftragsverarbeitungsvertrag (DPA) com clientes conforme necessário. Veja /compliance/gdpr.

Você trabalha com KION / Dematic / Jungheinrich em implantações do AGV?

Sim — somos consultores independentes junto com esses fornecedores. Executamos implantações VDA 5050 de fornecedores mistos para clientes automotivos, combinando KION-group, MIR e AMR s de terceiros sob um único controle mestre.

Você pode atender a Áustria e a Suíça com essa prática?

Sim — a região DACH é uma clínica. A maioria dos combates baseados na Alemanha se estende naturalmente à Áustria e Suíça; nos adaptamos para considerações regulatórias específicas da Suíça (FADP, FINMA) conforme relevante.
