German Federal Forces
Together with the Cyber Innovation Hub of the German Federal Forces, we deployed FORMATION to optimize the processes of a vast vehicle maintenance facility with twelve football fields worth of indoor space in Jülich, Germany. The project has been an enormous success for the army.
Our defense tech solution is a great example of hybrid tracking at scale. FORMATION has tracked thousands of vehicles and parts across the vast maintenance facility in Jülich since the site launch in 2023. We are using a mix of bluetooth trackers indoors and our QR Code tracking outdoors. Search functionality and our map provide critical situational awareness to onsite staff.
In its evaluation of the project, the Cyber Innovation Hub concluded that FORMATION provided significant benefits and doubled vehicle throughput of the facility, enhanced team productivity by 10%, saved saved 38 minutes per worker per day, boosted overall worker engagement of the facility, and enhanced team performance. The project has now been extended for three and a half additional years and is under review for wider adoption.
KAMAX
KAMAX, a leading automotive fastener manufacturer, partnered with us in 2022 to integrate the FORMATION Map with their SAP system. While SAP tracks goods using symbolic locations like shelf numbers and halls, it lacks geospatial data. Workers update these locations via barcode scanners, a common industry practice. With FORMATION, we turned this into a low cost tracking solution that, without investment in new infrastructure and processes, provides a lot of added value.
The solution synchronised location updates of items in SAP with the FORMATION map. For this, we converted the storage locations to map locations. The updates from SAP were translated to the map locations. This enables critical situational awareness for factory staff, allowing them to effortlessly identify available storage spots using a traffic light system and completely eliminating the need to drive around manually searching - dramatically improving worker efficiency.
