End-to-end tracking sea containers

The customer.

The Lambrechts Group in Puurs, which is active in the brewing industry and employs some 45 people, produces fully robotised lines that wash, sterilise and fill beer kegs. The smallest machines can handle about 10 kegs per hour, while the larger installations can process up to 1,200 kegs per hour. LAMBRECHTS is responsible for 80% market share in Belgium and exports to Singapore and Ethiopia. "We do customisation, 'make to order'," says managing partner Filp Beyens. "Something changes on every new drum line, from steering to interface. Innovation is the standard here."

Their challenge.

LAMBRECHTS ships its high-tech robot lines by container to customers overseas. They were looking for a way to follow the valuable containers as accurately as possible from the moment they are shipped in Belgium until they are delivered to the customer. Their current track and trace systems are inadequate because there is no continuous tracking throughout the transport chain; it is limited to a few key locations. It proved a real challenge to provide accurate information. Moreover, these were disposable trackers, attached to the outside of the containers, and could only be used once. Moreover, these trackers could be removed en route - precisely because they were visibly attached to the outside. Lambrechts was looking for a more sustainable solution with reusable sensors and that is how they came to us. After listening to their story, we suggested the TAG.WIFIWORLD.

Our solution.

By using the TAG.WIFIWORLD (with a worldwide coverage of 98%), LAMBRECHTS can now follow all containers from start to finish. The TAG-WIFIWORLD is simply packed into an envelope and this crate is placed in a sea container. Once activated on the online platform via the mobile app or desktop PC, both Lambrechts and the customer can follow the shipment and receive immediate notification if a container is opened, delayed or misdirected. Once the containers with robot lines have reached their final destination, the customer returns the tracker(s) to Lambrechts via the standard envelope provided.

In practice.

From day one, CHECK has been able to help provide complete visibility throughout the transport process - across countries, carriers and means of transport. The data from the live TAG-WIFIWORLD trackers helps our customer provide answers about the location of shipments in record time. Furthermore, it has led to a higher quality of service as the customer does not have to call anymore but can track his shipment himself on the platform.

View the result directly on the WiFiWorld platform here. This way you can immediately see how easy and efficient the TAG.WIFIWORLD works.
