Imagine transporting ultra-pure chemicals where even the slightest contamination could lead to multimillion-euro production losses. Every movement, every temperature change matters — yet keeping track can be a challenge when hundreds of containers are traveling worldwide.
This was exactly the challenge faced by Solvay, a global leader in hydrogen peroxide production for the semiconductor industry. To achieve full control and transparency across its supply chain, Solvay turned to a digital solution from Germany: Packwise.
At its Bernburg site in Germany, Solvay successfully uses the Packwise Smart Cap and the Packwise Flow Platform. This technology transforms every container into a smart asset — reporting temperature, movement, or shocks in real time.
Why does that matter? Because purity and delivery reliability are top priorities in semiconductor manufacturing. Even the smallest deviations can render entire batches unusable. With Packwise, quality remains traceable all the way to the customer — transparent, secure, and automated.
Three Key Advantages in Practice:
Seamless Quality Control.
Continuous monitoring of temperature, shock, and location protects product integrity and prevents downtime.
More Efficient Inventory.
Digital tracking ensures the FIFO principle (“First In, First Out”) is automatically applied. Batches remain fresh, and traceability is guaranteed at any time.
Reduced Effort.
Automated tracking replaces manual processes, saving valuable time.
Solvay sums it up:
“The gained transparency across the supply chain is extremely valuable. It reflects the high value of both goods and packaging.” – Solvay Chemicals GmbH
Average dwell time of containers at each location — clearly visible: they spend most of their time at the customer.
Inventory range over several months — transparent stock data makes fluctuations visible early on.
No matter your role, here’s how Packwise can simplify your daily operations:
For Logistics & Supply Chain Managers:
Say goodbye to lost containers and unclear turnaround times. The Smart Cap delivers precise data that reduce costs and streamline processes. With the Packwise ROI Calculator, you can see exactly when your investment pays off.
Detailed view of individual containers with start, end, and dwell time — every movement and every day fully documented.
For Quality Managers (QM):
The ATEX certification allows use even in potentially explosive environments. Real-time data enables early detection of quality deviations — long before complaints arise.
For IT Decision-Makers & CIOs:
Complex integrations? Not required. The Packwise API integrates easily into existing systems like SAP or ERP — secure, scalable, and future-proof.
Many providers offer only location tracking. Packwise goes further: the combination of precise sensors (for fill level, temperature, movement) and an intelligent data platform makes your logistics truly smart — not just visible.
Solvay is a powerful example that digitalization is not a future concept but a tangible advantage today.
Those who invest early save costs, minimize risks — and secure a strong position for tomorrow.
