From movement to throughput

From movement to throughput

A practical system for manufacturing and logistics

FORMATION turns movement into operational intelligence. It combines live tracking, historical traceability, and automated triggers so teams can remove bottlenecks, shorten cycle times, and scale capacity without rebuilding the site.
    Track

    Track

    Passive, active, and Hybrid Tracking in one system

    Capture movement with QR Codes, BLE, UWB, and GPS. Use the right modality for each asset and zone, then consolidate everything into one operational view.
    • Passive Tracking with QR Codes: low-cost, fast to deploy, and globally scalable.
    • Active Tracking with BLE/UWB/GPS for high-precision and real-time updates.
    • Hybrid Tracking connects both approaches to balance cost and precision.
    Trace

    Trace

    A system of record for every movement

    FORMATION stores every scan and movement event, building a historical record you can audit, reconstruct, and analyze.
    • Full audit trail with timestamps, locations, and user actions.
    • Compliance-ready traceability for investigations and reporting.
    • Built-in support for AAS and DPP 4.0 workflows.
    Easy to use animation

    Trigger

    Turn zones and events into action

    Use geofenced zones and movement events to drive tasks, alerts, and automation. Emergent Process makes work visible and self-organizing.
    • Auto-assign tasks when assets enter or leave zones.
    • Real-time notifications for anomalies and delays.
    • Workflow hooks that connect to existing systems.

    Insights

    Expose bottlenecks and utilization gaps

    Dashboards, heatmaps, and path analysis help teams see where flow breaks down and where capacity is wasted.
    • Heatmaps reveal congestion and under-used areas.
    • Path analysis reconstructs how work actually moves.
    • Dashboards align operators and management on the same reality.
    Integrate & extend

    Connect ERP, MES, and IoT

    FORMATION integrates with existing systems and data sources to avoid rip-and-replace. Sync locations, status updates, and sensor data through the API and Agent.
    • Connect Omlox, MQTT, and other IoT brokers.
    • Push asset metadata and updates into the FORMATION Map.
    • Export data into BI tools for deeper analysis.
    Deploy without disruption

    Brownfield-friendly and incremental

    Start small, prove value, and scale across sites. FORMATION works with existing layouts, devices, and processes.
    • No dedicated hardware required for QR Code workflows.
    • Incremental rollout by zone, line, or facility.
    • Scales from pilot to enterprise operations.
