AeroScout offers the industry’s most advanced asset and people visibility solution for discrete manufacturers. The AeroScout solution is already being used by tire manufacturers, glass manufacturers and others to solve critical problems and create efficient manufacturing environments.

The AeroScout solution uses a standard Wi-Fi wireless network to track, in real-time, work in process carriers, containers and valuable equipment. By leveraging the common Wi-Fi infrastructure, the AeroScout system drastically reduces total cost of ownership while gaining more value from existing investments. Manufacturers can utilize location of WIP carriers, containers and material to significantly increase their production throughput, improve labor efficiency, reduce scrap and increase quality.

Glass Manufacturing

In glass manufacturing, thousands of glass carriers transport glass between cutting, tempering, coating and lamination stations throughout large industrial hangars. Workers spend valuable time manually searching for thousands of glass carriers each day in order to transport them between the different stations. AeroScout provides the only Wi-Fi-based solution that can accurately track glass carriers on the shop floor and reduce the search time of each carrier from several minutes to less than one minute. AeroScout’s T2-EB Industrial Tags, mounted on glass carriers, provide up to 8 years of battery life and resistance to shocks and vibrations. Solution benefits:

• Dramatically reduce search time for carriers
• Eliminate reproduction of lost / misplaced glass
• Improve operations and labor productivity
• Increase overall throughput and profitability
