A Festive Year-End Celebration 2024
This year, our team wrapped up an incredible journey with a memorable year-end celebration, bringing together colleagues, achievements and future ambitions. The evening began at the famous..
In the chemical industry, liquid and granulated products should ideally be stored and transported in IBC containers. These containers have many benefits: they’re versatile, practical, stable and reusable. Yet one capability is missing from these true logistics all-rounders: agility.
An IBC container is an analog object in a digitalized world: a world that is constantly changing and presenting companies with new challenges on an almost daily basis. Supply chains are interrupted due to pandemics, customers demand a larger product quantity at short notice, a raw material becomes scarce – production has to be rescheduled, shipments redirected and new supply networks established.
The solution to this problem? Smart digitalization and automation. In this blog post, you’ll discover how IBC containers are becoming tools for transparency, efficiency and agility in the chemical industry with the help of digital twins and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
Digital Twins in the Chemical Industry
An IBC container is an analog object in a digitalized world: a world that is constantly changing and presenting companies with new challenges on an almost daily basis. Supply chains are interrupted due to pandemics, customers demand a larger product quantity at short notice, a raw material becomes scarce – production has to be rescheduled, shipments redirected and new supply networks established.
Companies depend on being able to react to unforeseen events in an agile manner – yet they can only do so to a limited extent, as their IBC fleet is virtually invisible during operations. The current status of an IBC is only visible to the person making their way to its location. Such conditions make monitoring, managing and controlling the packages a cumbersome task, while handling also entails a high degree of manual effort.
