PANASONIC INDUSTRY PARTNERS WITH QUUPPA

Panasonic Industry recently announced a partnership with Quuppa, a leading technology provider for Real-Time Locating Systems (RTLS) and indoor positioning systems, to enable Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) functionality for Logiscend Software 3.0. Quuppa’s Intelligent Location™ system is seamlessly integrated into the Logiscend software, providing real-time location data using BLE-based Angle-of-Arrival (AoA) technology to track objects and devices in near real-time with an accuracy of less than one meter.

Quuppa’s technology enables new features of Logiscend Software 3.0 that enhance the Logiscend System’s location management capabilities. Logiscend Software 3.0 also improves the platform’s user access controls, data segmentation and data management features, and Pick and Replenishment configurability. A turnkey material flow management solution for complex, discrete manufacturing, the Logiscend platform improves efficiency and performance across a variety of manufacturing applications, including picking, replenishment, asset tracking, smart container, and work instructions.

With Logiscend Software 3.0 users are able to track and locate any part at any time with a high degree of accuracy, increasing efficiency by providing visibility of bottlenecks and triggering automated workflows based on small changes in the location of assets. The Quuppa system combined with Panasonic VIEW tags will help eliminate paper and provide real-time instructions to the manufacturing floor.

By incorporating the Quuppa system with Logiscend’s rules engine and automated response workflows, users can configure automated actions to be taken based on an asset moving just a short distance or entering and exiting geofenced areas. The Quuppa Logiscend solution can visually display the location of a container or asset on a digital map of the facility and eliminate the search for lost parts and assets, a common pain point for manufacturers.
