How intuu Transformed Construction Logistics for Baumit Romania
Overview
Baumit Romania, a leading construction materials provider, struggled with tracking over 200 silos across multiple job sites. Without real-time tracking, visibility into utilization rates, or automated reporting, operations were inefficient and prone to errors.
By implementing intuu.io’s NFC-enabled tracking system, Baumit Romania automated logistics, achieved real-time visibility, and optimized inventory management.
Challenges: Inefficient Silo Tracking and Logistics
Baumit Romania’s supply chain involved mortar silos transported between plants and construction sites, yet tracking was manual, error-prone, and lacked real-time visibility.
Key Issues:
- No real-time tracking – silo locations were unknown, causing delays.
- No utilization visibility – mortar usage was not accurately recorded, making refill planning difficult.
- Inefficient manual processes – tracking relied on phone calls and paperwork, increasing errors and response time.
Solution
NFC-Enabled Intelligent Tracking with intuu.io
Technology Implemented:
- NFC-Tagged Silos – Each silo was equipped with an NFC tag containing a unique identifier (IntuUID) linked to intuu.io’s cloud platform.
- Cloud-Based Tracking – Updates were logged in real-time, accessible from desktop or mobile.
- Mobile & RFID/NFC Readers – Workers tapped their phones or used RFID readers to track movements, refills, and consumption.
- Automated Reporting & Analytics – Real-time insights into silo usage, movement patterns, and mortar consumption.
How It Worked:
- Silos were tagged with NFC-enabled unique identifiers, storing location and status data.
- Location updates were automated—workers scanned tags with smartphones, instantly updating silo positions.
- Utilization tracking allowed managers to monitor consumption and refill needs in real time.
- Automated reports provided insights on silo usage, movement, and inventory planning.
