digitalised logistics for stuttgart 21

a construction site as large as 5 football pitches, 27 light eyes and thousands of components

Within the scope of Stuttgart 21, seele faces a significant logistical task. To coordinate everything, the façade construction specialist has introduced an RFID-based logistics concept.

seele has set up 6 RFID gates in its own production plants, in the temporary storage and on the construction site in Stuttgart. In addition, a RFID label is affixed to each packaging unit before it is loaded. As soon as the truck with the transport crate passes a gate, the reader device inside automatically scans all labels and forwards a status update to seele’s ERP system. In this way, the RFID technology eliminates the sometimes time-consuming search for components and also digitally maps the construction progress.

You can find further information on the new logistics concept here.
