"Smart Cap" transforms analog containers into digitally trackable assets

Packwise and RIKUTEC Partner to Digitally Transform Supply Chain Management

A simple yet powerful solution is changing the landscape of supply chain management—transforming physical containers into digitally trackable assets. With this innovation, companies can now integrate smart tracking technology seamlessly into their logistics operations, enhancing visibility, efficiency, and sustainability.

A Strategic Partnership for Digital Transformation

Building on a successful collaboration that began last year, RIKUTEC Group, headquartered in Bad Honnef, Germany, and Packwise GmbH, based in Dresden, Germany, have officially launched a distribution partnership to drive the digitalization of supply chains in the United States.

By combining RIKUTEC’s expertise in high-quality container solutions with Packwise’s IoT-driven tracking technology, this partnership offers a game-changing solution for businesses looking to optimize their logistics and asset management.

The Packwise Smart Cap: A Plug-and-Play Digital Tracking Solution

At the heart of this transformation is the Packwise Smart Cap, a plug-and-play tracking module that enables analog containers to become digitally traceable. With advanced IoT technology, users can monitor critical real-time data, including:

✔ Fill level – Prevent supply shortages and optimize replenishment cycles. ✔ Temperature – Ensure product integrity in sensitive chemical logistics. ✔ Location tracking – Gain full supply chain visibility from production to delivery. ✔ Movement monitoring – Detect unauthorized container handling or potential risks.

Expanding to the North American Market

As part of the agreement, RIKUTEC America will take the lead in customer support for the North American market, offering the Packwise Smart Cap as a next-generation digital tracking module. This partnership will be showcased at the Specialty and Agro Chemicals America trade show in Savannah, Georgia, in June 2023.
