Optical-based

The system, based on patented optical technology, will enable Knauf to track the movement of trucks and their loads around the storage and despatch areas and will lead to significant process improvements.

Warehouse Insight is, in essence, an indoor GPS system that monitors and records the movements of trucks around the warehouse to an accuracy of just a few centimetres. At the same time, every pallet that is picked up is automatically recognised by its barcode and its movements are then recorded until it is put down.

The system is said to bridge the data gaps that conventional warehouse management systems can’t overcome.
