IoT and Automation for Supply Chain and Logistics
Use Connected Processes, Real-Time Data and AI-Enabled Automation Effectively
ICS helps companies systematically identify IoT and automation potential in supply chain, logistics, production, service and IT – and translate it into viable solution concepts.
We analyze processes, data sources, interfaces, systems, mobile devices, sensors and operational workflows. This results in concrete use cases for real-time transparency, process automation, mobile data capture, digital workflows and AI-enabled analytics.
The focus is on measurable improvements in transparency, process reliability, productivity, data quality and availability – from consulting and technical concept development through to implementation with software, AIDC, IoT technologies, robotics and managed services.
Typical Fields of Application
- IoT, sensors and real-time data
- AIDC, RFID and mobile data capture
- Digital workflows and process automation
- Robotics and automated machine processes
- Interfaces to ERP, WMS, TMS and service systems
- Device management, operations and managed services
Our Approach to IoT and Automation
ICS combines process consulting, technology expertise and implementation experience – for connected, automated and measurably improved operations.
Analysis
Make processes, systems, data sources and automation potential transparent
Concept
Evaluate use cases, prioritize effort and value, and develop a roadmap
Implementation
Implement technologies, interfaces, rollout and operations in a structured way
IoT and Real-Time Data in Operational Processes
IoT solutions create transparency where processes are still manual, delayed or distributed across disconnected systems. ICS analyzes data sources such as mobile devices, AIDC systems, sensors, machines, equipment, vehicles and operational software solutions.
The data collected can be used for status updates, digital workflows, event-driven control, reporting, analytics and AI-enabled evaluations. The decisive factor is not the technology itself, but the specific process benefit.
Smart Integration of Automation and Robotics
Automation creates value wherever repetitive tasks, manual data capture, system gaps or quality risks slow down operations. Together with you, ICS evaluates which automation potential is technically feasible, economically viable and manageable from a process perspective.
This includes mobile data capture, AIDC, digital workflows, robotics, sensors, machine connectivity and interfaces to existing IT systems.
From IoT Consulting to Implementation
ICS supports IoT and automation projects from analysis and solution concept through to technical implementation. Depending on your requirements, software, hardware, AIDC technologies, mobile devices, sensors, robotics, interfaces and managed services are combined.
