TeDaLoS GmbH (Austria) - TeDaLoS has become the standard software from the cloud in Europe for “stock level and demand recognition” and as plug&play middleware between IT systems (ERP; MES; WMS...) and rapidly growing recording and technology options.

Why are more and more sensor/system manufacturers making their technology “TeDaLoS ready”?

The TeDaLoS Platform is Software as a Service, so no upfront installation or ramp up fees or base licenses. The Software focuses on one application: tracking stock levels through sensor data and trigger standard procedures like re-ordering at the supplier, picking up of full bins or create replenishment recommendations based sensor data and AI analytics. Typical users are not IT-engineers or integration specialist but regular users being capable of creating results on day 1: supply chain managers, procurement officers, maintenance workers and managers, production floor and material flow managers. Many times sales managers of the material suppliers are key users, enabling their “managed stock”/ Kanban / “automatic replenishment” - and other numerous names for the service of Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) to their clients.

This is why more and more industrial distributors are using the platform as a solution for their customers' stock management services. This makes weighing technology a flexible game changer for material suppliers for their customers' automatic stock level control and replenishment triggering without an IT project. Numerous load cell manufacturers are already “TeDaLoS ready” and achieve competitive advantages over manufacturers without an “end2end” solution through the cooperation, as well as generating new revenue streams as their clients subscrbe to the software (in their brand).

What does the Smart Inventory Monitoring Software (in your brand) provide:

• (Wireless) Data transfer to the cloud based Software
• (On demand: Managed Connectivity)
• Remote calibration and taring features
• Interpretation and storage of data
• Online dashboard for
  • Managing customers, material master data, user rights
  • “One click” assignment of Sensor to customers/ cost centers/ material/ unit of measure
  • Setting alarm thresholds/reporting points
  • Creating min/max levels (in quantity of assigned material, eg. 3 packing units)
  • Visualization of material fill levels and hardware status
  • Email notifications about alarms and stock levels
  • Download of measurement logs and current stock level
  • Stock consumption charts and hardware monitoring
  • Master data import via file upload
  • A.I. SmartRange: dynamic material range calculation and alerting
  • Provision of data for target system (ERP) via REST-API interface
  • User and rights management
  • Access to further technologies like smart labels, RFID for bin scanning, etc.

Why this is a market for you:

Smart Stock Monitoring and automated material management becoming a crucial match winner due to the need to reduce stock-outs and overstocking and the lack of trained and disciplined workforce on premise to manually do the tasks of stock control. At the same time inventory counting and reordering are expensive and time consuming procedures. There is a clear trend of outsourcing these tasks to material suppliers, making it an ideal use case for weighing technology on the rack, in the bin, at the storage position,.. to remotely and automatically track stock levels.

Only few corporates have sufficient IT-resources, hardware expertise and investment power to create systems and integrated solutions on their own – and even many of those don’t want to spend time on hardware or software development. This is why demand from mid and large corporates – both industrial material suppliers and from the “consuming” parties no mather if production, maintenance or healthcare, construction, etc – is rapidly increasing to find end2end solution partners that can provide sensors, hardware modules, data transfer, online dashboards, whitelabelling, and more business logic including data-interfaces to standard warehousing and material management software systems.

What’s in for you as a hardware manufacturer:

Offering an end2end solution for clear use cases to your clients provides USPs versus “sensor datasheet only”-sellers. Direct clients from industrial supplies and production open your revenue streams from “digital services and software”, customer loyalty, increased hardware sales numbers due to larger quantities within “stock monitoring” use cases, lock-in with core procedures of your clients.
