Tracking of roll containers by NFC - hotspot piloting results Kii & K.Hartwall co-operation Kyösti Melametsä / K.Hartwall & Timo Pastila / Kii 1 Corporate presentation May 2013
The industrial internet challenge: How to know where the units are? To measure and optimise the logistics operations To secure unit availability To block leakage / loss of units (up to 10% of total fleet) 2 Corporate presentation May 2013
Targets for the pilot Full fleet tracking is the ultimate solution. The leap to the ultimate solution is too long. Several smaller steps are needed The pilot was one of the smaller steps, focusing on: Agile and low cost (risk) approach Quick learning and awareness building for K. Hartwall and our customers Verification of used technologies: Consumer smart phone (with NFC, GPS and data connection) NFC reading on metal surface Visual cloud user interface 3 Corporate presentation May 2013
Special cases tracking There may be situations, when deliveries to specific addresses want to be followed-up, e.g. : Restaurants that seem not to return cages Special events; concerts, sports events,... Cages can be added with a NFC tag, even on-site, and scanned to a specific location. This can be achieved with commercial NFC tags, commercial (consumer) smart phone and simple cloud application.

Case K.Hartwall: tracking roll containers Target: solution to track the containers in a scalable way We chose to pilot a NFC based solution This solution is a cost efficient way to open up the customer discussions provides scalability for the future deployments 7 Corporate presentation May 2013
Tracking what, where, when and by whom? NFC tags cost less than 1 using the mobile app takes only a few secs ID, location, sender and time sent to the cloud scalable and reliable cloud app in AWS map based UX tracks also history of the movements 8 Corporate presentation May 2013
K.Hartwall customer feedback and learnings so far System introduced internally and so far to 2 customers Customer feedback: Wow effect: Can this be done so easily? Food for thought: Immediately several ideas on how to apply, not only in relation to roll cages Idea of easy implementation: Hey, we would not really need IT department to implement something like this, at least initially Next steps: Target is to get the pilot into real customer usage. Customers like the idea, but they are not used to trial something like this. 9 Corporate presentation May 2013
Kii future plans and partnerships If you have any ideas, come and talk with us! Identify new application areas for tracking what, where, when and by whom! Not just read passive ID tags but even active sensors such as RuuviTag, the coolest BLE sensortag in the planet Tracking not only what, where, when and who but also what happened and why in a cost efficient and scalable way!
