Analog asset management presents challenges in many industries. In construction, tools and machinery are hard to keep track of and manage. Logistics enterprises lack a clear overview of their fleet. Manufacturing companies are unable to provide their customers with the best possible service because data and information about possible defects are not immediately available. The administrative burden is always heavy and in-house processes are time-consuming.
Together with our partner Syfit we offer a digital solution for your asset management. Optimize not only the management of tools and construction materials but also the inspection of driving licenses and equipment, and parking management, or use the Digitization of Things to ensure the ideal management of your products. We can help you to become even more successful in your business.

Challenge
The construction company Otto Heil lacked an overview of its on-site formwork systems and construction machinery. It was unable to utilize existing assets efficiently because it did not always know where they were.
Solution
Otto Heil equipped its assets with Bluetooth beacons. These smart devices are connected with a central IoT platform via the Internet of Things and relay their position data wirelessly to the cloud.
Customer benefit
Machines and formwork systems can be utilized optimally and periods of use are easier to bill. A theft warning system with geofencing also facilitates better control over the company’s property.
“Since using the solution we always know exactly where our construction machinery and tools are. That enables us to manage our assets perfectly and to reduce costs.”
Marco Wunderlich, Head of IT Base at Otto Heil GmbH & Co KG
Challenge
Dethleffs was looking for a way to keep an eye on the location of motorhomes and chassis on its works site. Employees used to look for them with paper lists and handheld scanners, which was time-consuming and held up production.
Solution
A Syfit tracking solution connects backend and mobile scanners. When employees scan a vehicle the scanner relays its GPS position to the cloud. This data can be accessed everywhere by smartphone or Web browser.
Customer benefit
Dethleffs employees find the vehicles and chassis they are looking for straightaway. Production runs more smoothly, drivers can get going faster. The touch of a button is all that is needed to carry out an audit-compliant inventory.
“The new system has enabled us not only to accelerate work processes and cut costs; we are now also in a position to respond flexibly and quickly to changing delivery and production situations.”
Philip Eggert, Project Manager Erwin Hymer Group
