Metal Containers Monitoring

Overview

In modern industrial and logistics operations, managing metal containers efficiently is critical to maintaining a streamlined supply chain, minimizing losses, and ensuring asset availability. Traditional tracking methods fall short, often relying on manual processes that are labor-intensive, error-prone, and lacking in real-time visibility.

Solution

Azitek delivers a cutting-edge metal container monitoring solution that provides real-time visibility of container locations across facilities and transportation routes. Using long-range proprietary active tags and a cloud-based platform, the system enables automated, precise monitoring of every metal container in circulation.

How It Works

Active Tags

Each metal container is equipped with an active tag capable of long-range communication (up to 200 meters). These tags are engineered to withstand interference caused by metal surfaces and harsh environmental conditions.

The tags automatically transmit position data when within range of fixed or vehicle-mounted gateways.

Site & Vehicle Gateways

Fixed gateways installed at key locations, such as docks, storage areas, and production lines, continuously receive signals from tagged containers.

Vehicle-mounted gateways track containers during transport, ensuring complete visibility across all legs of the supply chain.

Data and Dashboard

All tracking data is streamed to Azitek’s centralized cloud platform.

Users can access a real-time dashboard for complete visibility into container locations, movements, and inventory status.

The system also supports seamless API integration into existing ERP or warehouse management software.

Benefits

End-to-End Visibility

Real-time location tracking ensures that every metal container is accounted for, whether in use, in storage, or in transit. This reduces losses and ensures container availability for operational continuity.

Operational Efficiency

Automated container tracking eliminates manual logging tasks, reduces search times, and streamlines logistics flows, especially in complex or multi-site environments.

Metal Interference Resilience

Unlike traditional RFID systems, Azitek’s technology is specifically designed to function in metal-heavy environments, making it ideal for tracking metal assets indoors and outdoors.

Scalable and Cost-Effective

With a modular architecture and flexible pricing model, Azitek’s solution scales easily across small and large operations, offering a cost-effective approach to metal container monitoring.
