Flowcate

Asset Tracking with unified locating platform

The problem

The DeepHub® by Flowcate, is a locating-middleware that enables a seamless tracking of all moving things in intralogistics, like forklifts, palettes, equipment, and humans. It allows for an easy integration of all indoor positioning technologies –  from all vendors – via a lightweight API.

The DeepHub is compliant with the open locating standard omlox. Cumulocity consumes location-data and telemetry data via the DeepHub and visualizes real-time movements.

Challenges

• Easy access to location data indoors.
• Integration of broad range of locating technologies and vendors.
• Vendor lock in with vertically integrated technology vendors.
• Complex integration and not standardized data formats.
• Seamless monitoring of equipment and optimization enabled by location data.

Solution

• Cumulocity connected DeepHub via omlox-compliant API.
• omlox & DeepHub offers homogenous data for business analytics.
• Holistic overview of asset movements, energy consumption and much more.
• Single omlox API to consume location data fused with telemetry data.

Benefits

• No vendor dependency.
• Saving of integration costs and resources.
• Interoperability and flexibility among indoor locating hardware & software solutions.
• Single, lightweight and standardized API Lower total cost of ownership.
