Sometimes in the process industry, it is not technology but timing that determines efficiency and success. Production systems run precisely and automatically. When it comes to managing liquid containers, the principle of "paperwork" often still prevails: fill levels are checked manually, containers disappear without a trace or supply chains lose transparency.
The good news: it doesn't have to stay that way. With the Packwise Smart Cap, you can digitize your containers in just a few seconds - without any tools, IT effort or project marathons. In this article, we show you how easy it is to install and why this small cap is a great lever for efficiency and cost savings.

Packwise Smart Cap: The key to a transparent supply chain
Step-by-step: How to install the smart cap
Installation takes just a few minutes - without tools, without specialist personnel.
- Preparation & activation:
The device is ready to use immediately. The robust housing made of UV-stable polycarbonate (Lexan 945A) is protected against water and dust in accordance with IP69. In simple terms, this means the device is completely dust-tight and can even withstand cleaning with high-pressure water jets or hot steam without being damaged. - Positioning:
Place the Smart Cap on top of the container, on the wall section near the lid. This position ensures optimal signal strength and reliable fill-level measurement using radar technology. - Fixation:
Peel off the protective film of the adhesive tape, press the cap firmly onto the container, done - the container is digitized. - Networking:
Immediately after installation, monitoring begins. The integrated sensors measure fill level, detect vibrations, and determine the location - giving you full control at any time.
Plug & Play: Three steps to fully networked logistics
Packwise Flow: The digital connection after installation
The Smart Cap is installed, but that is where the real value begins. With Packwise Flow, the container is digitally connected to the system so that location, status, and other data become centrally visible. According to the instructions, the connection is made very easily via the ScanApp: scan the QR code, select the container, or create a new one.
This turns a single device into a seamless digital process. You can not only see where your Container is, but also assign it clearly and manage it much more easily in day-to-day operations. That saves time, reduces errors, and makes your stock more transparent without any complex IT projects.
Simply log in, scan, and you're done: Seamless connectivity for the entire linking process
