Optimize intralogistics processes with Swan Heatmap
Swan is expanding its product portfolio with the Swan Heatmap. The new software solution generates and analyzes data for a better insight into the entire logistics system.
To do this, it either uses the connection of RTLS systems from leading technology partners or integrates localization data into SAP EWM. The entire plant view is visualized as a digital twin on the computer and can be freely zoomed in 2D/3D.
The software solution is available to the control center or other employees as a web interface. It can be easily integrated into the existing IT environment. By using the heatmap, companies can optimize the use of space and process automation in warehouses.
As a result, you benefit from cost savings and competitive advantages. The complete solution, which is individually tailored to the respective customer requirements, consists of the heatmap software, ultra-wideband (UWB) positioning, anchors and tags in different sizes and sampling rates for people, vehicles and assets.
Based on UWB technology, the heatmap uses indoor tracking of people, machines and goods to generate detailed analyses of the optimal use of existing areas and routes. The software processes the data from IoT sensors and higher-level IT systems, such as SAP, in real time.
Process delays due to overloading of storage areas or production zones can be quickly and easily identified visually over time using a replay function for historical data. Additional analysis options for critical routes form the basis for direct flow optimization and access to in-depth data analyses.
