In the news
- Data talks! Sensolus just launched its first Supply Chain Velocity Index. 🚀 Over all these years, we have been connecting lots of returnable racks and packaging in supply chain of manufacturing (aerospace, automotive, industrial equipment) and when analyzing their movements, you realize they are the pulse of the real field processes. We all know reports on factory output, order intake and revenue forecasts, but nobody talks on the actual movements between the walls and the dfferent suppliers, and these are effectively a
- 800 waste containers across two sites in Germany. No reliable way to know where they all were. Safety inspections tracked on paper, with no central view of what was due when. That was the starting point for Wurzer Umwelt Gruppe's dispatch team. Nine months later: roughly 700 containers tracked, inspections centralized, fewer new containers needed because the existing fleet finally gets found and reused. Full story below.
- About 1 in 3 industrial racks, stillages and containers didn’t move for a whole month. We know, because we tracked 111,000 of them. Today we’re launching the Supply Chain Velocity Index: how fast returnable packaging moves between suppliers and production lines, across Europe and the US. 60 seconds on what that means ↓ Download the full index: https://lnkd.in/etzwuPMM #SupplyChain #Manufacturing #ReturnablePackaging

This episode is about what that difference actually looks like. 👉 Watch the full episode: https://lnkd.in/eEDkQ8XF #IIoT #AssetTracking #IoT #SupplyChain #USMarket
