Warehouse & DC optimisation.
Cut travel, clear congestion and lift pick productivity with real movement data — not a layout guess. See where pickers actually walk, re-slot the fast movers, and split the aisles that jam.
Warehouse & DC optimisation: how it works, and what it pays back.
The right radio for the job — chosen, never sold — mapped to your use case. That is what makes the ROI fast.
1 · Track movement
Pickers, trucks and key SKUs are tracked so real travel and congestion are visible.
2 · Find the waste
Heatmaps show jammed aisles, long walks and dead zones — the constraints capping throughput.
3 · Re-slot & re-route
Re-slot fast movers near dispatch, split congested aisles, optimise pick paths.
UWB → precise paths · BLE → zone flow · analytics → re-slotting
Which technology actually fits.
We have no hardware to sell, so the recommendation serves your outcome — not a price book.
UWB/BLE
Live people & vehicle flow.
Passive RFID
Stock accuracy underneath.
Analytics
Slotting & route insight.
Industries this solution suits
Re-slot on where people actually walk.
A DC tracks pickers and key SKUs. Heatmaps reveal the jammed aisle and the long walks to dispatch; fast movers are re-slotted and aisles split — lifting picks per hour without adding labour.
Typically bought by: Warehouse operations, slotting / IE teams, continuous improvement.

Frequently asked questions
Which problems does warehouse/DC RTLS solve first?
The expensive ones: travel and search time, mis-picks, congestion, and inaccurate stock. Real-time location of people, trucks and goods exposes where time and accuracy are lost.
RFID, RTLS or both for a DC?
Usually both - RFID for fast inventory and dock verification, RTLS for live location of forklifts, goods and labour. We scope which combination fits your throughput.
How disruptive is deployment in a live DC?
It is phased zone by zone around operations; a pilot area proves accuracy and value before a full rollout, so you do not gamble on a big-bang.
How does it integrate with our WMS?
Location and event data enrich your WMS via API - directed travel, slotting insight and dock reconciliation - without replacing the system of record.
What is the payback?
Higher picks per hour, fewer errors and damage, better slotting and dock turnaround, and right-sized labour and equipment - typically a strong, measurable ROI.
