Durable, reusable, and digitally monitorable: RIKUTEC’s plastic IBCs offer a long-lasting solution for the
storage and transport of industrial liquids. These containers are used particularly in industries with high
quality requirements, such as the semiconductor industry. Combined with the Packwise Smart Cap and
Packwise Flow 2.0, the containers can also be digitally monitored and managed more efficiently.
RIKUTEC’s reusable plastic IBCs are designed for demanding industrial applications. Thanks to their robust construction, they are particularly well-suited for companies that value long, safe and resource-efficient
packaging solutions. The containers are characterized by several product features:
The double-walled RIKUTEC containers are particularly well-suited for transporting high-value and sensitive liquids. The additional protective layer helps prevent damage and contamination. This is particularly important
in the chemical industry and semiconductor production, where there are high requirements for the purity of
the substances used.
In addition to a robust design, digital monitoring of industrial containers also plays an important role.
The Packwise Smart Cap is easy to install on RIKUTEC containers and enhances them with smart
sensor technology.
A practical feature is the specially designed recess in the top cover. The Packwise Smart Cap fits perfectly into this recess and can be attached easily and in a space-saving manner. Thanks to its recessed position, the Smart Cap sits securely within the lid and does not protrude beyond the container’s surface. This makes it very easy
to equip RIKUTEC containers with the Packwise Smart Cap and monitor them digitally without any issues
The collaboration with the chemical company Solvay demonstrates how the combination of RIKUTEC containers and Packwise technology works in practice.
Among other things, Solvay produces high-purity hydrogen peroxide for the semiconductor industry. Since even the test impurities can compromise product quality, the company relies on double-walled RIKUTEC containers made of high-purity plasticfor transport. These are used in closed cycles to ensure the required product purity.
To better manage its container fleet, Solvay equipped the RIKUTEC containers with the Packwise Smart Cap. Digital monitoring yielded important insights: On average, a container required 60 days to complete a full cycle. Of those, it spent 48 days at the customer’s site, including 39 days fully filled in storage. Thanks to Packwise, Solvay can now identify untapped potential, better plan container returns, and lay the groundwork for more efficient warehouse and production planning. At the same time, significantly fewer containers are lost due
to improved traceability.
Since RIKUTEC containers involve comparatively high acquisition costs, it is particularly important to maintain
an overview of the containers at all times. The Packwise Smart Cap records relevant data such as fill level, location, temperature, and movement. Through the Packwise Flow 2.0 software platform, companies can
centrally view this information and monitor their containers across multiple locations.
This makes it possible to track the location of equipped RIKUTEC containers at any time. The risk of losing track of expensive containers is thereby significantly reduced. At the same time, companies can avoid unnecessary new purchases, save costs, and plan restocks and returns more efficiently. Especially when dealing with high-value liquids and sensitive production processes, such as in the semiconductor industry, digital monitoring also helps to better assess inventory levels and support the continuous supply to customers.
The collaboration with Solvay demonstrates how the advantages of robust RIKUTEC reusable containers can be combined with digital monitoring provided by Packwise. Companies gain a better overview of their container fleet, can reduce container losses, and plan their transportation, storage, and reuse processes more effectively.
