Application Areas

Process Management

deTAGtive creates transparency for your entire manufacturing chain: Our smart asset tracking solution offers you the opportunity to review processes in real time and identify bottlenecks. Simply place the TAGs on the goods you want to monitor and follow inventory movement with stationary TAG Finders across every assembly line.

Depots

deTAGtive facilitates logistics at depots: Flexible cargo monitoring lets you evaluate fleet movement, recognize points of inefficiency as well as optimize loading and unloading times. TAGs can adhere to any given object, from packets to pallets to whole trailers. You can also use our blueprint feature to chart your premises.

Precious Cargo

deTAGtive increases the safety of your supply chain and helps you keep track of precious cargo at all times. Whether during transit or in storage, TAG Finders pinpoint the location of your assets from up to 70 meters away. In addition to location, these Bluetooth TAGs can also track environmental factors like temperature, humidity or brightness and detect shocks and impacts. This lets you identify potential damages of goods early.

Agricultural and construction machinery

With deTAGtive, construction and agricultural enterprises can record deployment of their machinery in full and use this data to schedule maintenance predictively in order to minimize downtime. Once installed in agricultural trailers or in construction machinery, these Bluetooth TAGs transmit data about hours and intensity of operation. The TAGs have been optimized for use in the rough conditions of agriculture and construction sites.
