Packwise and SCHÄFER Container Systems Form Partnership for Smart Container Solutions
Smart Tracking. Digital Control. Maximum Efficiency.
Dresden / Neunkirchen, July 21, 2025 – Two innovation leaders join forces: Packwise, a specialist in IoT-based container tracking, and SCHÄFER Container Systems, a leading provider of stainless steel IBC solutions, announce their strategic partnership. Together, they are launching two groundbreaking solutions, Packwise Smart Cap and SCHÄFER Smart LOG, which will revolutionize the digital transformation in the chemical and food industries.
Digital Intelligence for Industrial Containers
The industry faces enormous challenges: unclear inventory, inefficient processes, and lack of transparency in the supply chain lead to high costs and production risks. With the new IoT-based solutions from Packwise and SCHÄFER Container Systems, companies now have continuous, data-driven control over their container fleets.
Two Solutions, One Goal: Maximum Efficiency
Packwise Smart Cap offers precise real-time monitoring of fill levels, temperatures, and location data. It ensures maximum safety for hazardous material transport and significantly improves supply chain control. By directly integrating with existing ERP systems, transportation and ordering processes can be automated, giving companies better planning security and significantly reducing logistics costs.
SCHÄFER Smart LOG, specifically developed for the food industry, provides critical data for quality assurance. In addition to continuously monitoring fill levels and temperatures, the solution also includes pressure and light measurements, helping to optimally manage storage and production conditions. The automatic alarm function immediately reports critical deviations, allowing companies to proactively respond to changes and avoid waste.
“This partnership combines our deep expertise in stainless steel IBC technology with Packwise’s smart tracking expertise. Together, we are setting new standards for efficiency and safety in the industry,” explains Christof Ermert, Authorized Signatory and Department Head at SCHÄFER Container Systems.
“With Packwise Smart Cap and SCHÄFER Smart LOG, we are enabling companies to take their container management to a whole new level – digital, automated, and secure,” adds Gesche Weger, CEO of Packwise.
Experience and Test Live
The smart container solutions will be available for customers to experience live at the upcoming trade fairs Drinktec from September 15–19 in Munich and Fachpack from September 23–25 in Nuremberg. In addition, industrial companies have the opportunity to test the new solutions free of charge for three months and see for themselves the benefits of smart container monitoring.
