Industry 4.0
Industry 4.0, also sometimes referred to as IIoT or smart manufacturing, marries physical production and operations with smart digital technology, machine learning, and big data to create a more holistic and better-connected ecosystem for companies that focus on manufacturing and supply chain management.
It is now equally important to include:
Pandemic Compliance
and

Wi-Fi Mesh
to track assets in a warehouse or plant

Complete Warehouse Management
with real-time data from asset tagging, loading/unloading and weighbridge
Wi-Fi Mesh
In a mesh network multiple, redundant, data paths will exist – example A->B->C->D->Main Reader or even A->D->Main Reader. This is helpful in difficult environments like construction sites, because signal routing can happen via any of the proximate readers without necessarily needing a line-of-sight connection to the main reader.
Solution Overview
Real-time data from all points and nodes across the premises, feeds into a single uPick middleware via multiple modes of connectivity.
The middleware and its API Stack connects to existing client systems through a Protocol Conversion layer.
Vehicle Tracking System (VTS) Solution
across the premises
uPick Vehicle Tracking System is designed to include every aspect of the vehicle’s movement within the factory, from entry to exit. It is supplemented by custom displays for Dispatch, along with a range of automated functions for improving tracking and efficiency across the premises.
