TECHNOLOGY
How Thingple captures physical data, checks it, and turns it into a foundation for practical AI.
HARDWARE
Proprietary hardware that works in explosion-risk zones, on wooden pallets, on metal racks and in cold storage.
Upgrades existing forklifts into mobile intelligent terminals.
Two explosion-proof edge-intelligent readers with matching antennas and a tablet display, mounted on a bracket made for each forklift and powered from the forklift. Read distances are commissioned on site: no false reads, no missed reads.
One device for barcodes, QR codes and RFID.
Explosion-proof and standard versions, pre-installed with Thingple WMS. Check locations, bind tags to pallets, initialize and rewrite tags, and help workers count, organize and transfer stock. Every operation is recorded for traceability.
Labels and tags built for pallets, drums, racks and floors.
Pallet labels with adhesive that stays on wooden pallets, drum labels, anti-metal rack tags, reusable magnetic tags, and buried floor tags with at least a 3-year life that also show a forklift’s location and direction.
Connects equipment, sensors and assets to the platform.
Edge-intelligence gateways, RFID edge analytics kits, smart sensors and asset-tracking IoT boxes bring equipment data and environmental readings such as water, power, gas and steam into the same record.
HARDWARE ON THE FORKLIFT
No new vehicles. A bracket made for each forklift holds the kit, and the forklift powers it.
When a pallet is picked up, the antenna reads its RFID label and the stock data is received and uploaded to the system.
Floor tags confirm where the forklift is. The screen shows green at the right location and red at the wrong one.
THE TECHNOLOGY THAT CONNECTS IT
Raw materials can be identified with RFID before processing. When materials A, B and C enter a reactor, they are transformed into a new material. SMART ID maintains a virtual identity throughout this process, connecting formulation inputs, actual process conditions and quality results. The finished product can then be tagged with RFID and traced back to how it was made.
Identify raw materials A, B and C, using RFID where they are tagged, and link their identities and formulation to a virtual production record.
Connect actual feeding and reactor conditions to the virtual record as materials are transformed. RFID does not track the material inside the reactor.
Associate inspection results with the resulting production batch and its process history.
Link the finished product’s RFID identity to its SMART ID record, so it can be traced back to its inputs, processing and quality results.
RFID identifies tagged goods before processing.
Formulation → reactor process → quality results
Connected through transformationThe finished product’s RFID ID links to its production record.
← Trace the finished product back to its inputs, formulation, process and quality.
A barcode is scanned one at a time. RFID reads hundreds of tags in a second, so counting stock can be 100× faster, and every item is identified on its own.
How every record stays specific, measurable, actual, relevant and time-bound.
Every data point links to the smallest unit: batch, pallet or SKU.
Collect every measurable value, wherever it is possible.
Actual data, because recipe ≠ feeding and settings ≠ real parameters.
Connects your existing knowledge base and matches related data and processes.
A time-series database stamps every step and every data point.
WEIGHT-BASED DOUBLE VERIFICATION
Before material enters the production line, RFID and a smart scale confirm that the goods, their weight and their code all agree.
PLATFORM
Built for IT and automation teams as much as for operations: modular, secure and ready to connect to the systems you already run.
INTEGRATION
Large companies usually need their own SAP developers for every new connection. Thingple’s WMS connects through a choice of standard interface patterns, so teams often avoid a dedicated SAP development project.
Delivered at BASF and other multinational sites in China. The pattern is chosen with your IT team, depending on how much development effort they want to invest.
We plan the multi-site strategy, data security and server architecture, then build WMS, MES, dashboards and LIMS on top, tracking from formulation through quality control.
THE DATA FLYWHEEL
Connecting physical IDs with virtual SMART ID records turns isolated events into a usable manufacturing history. As production continues, the growing record supports better analysis, models and operating decisions.
Teams validate changes against actual efficiency, accuracy and quality. Those measured results become data for the next cycle.
Measured outcomes feed the next cycle ↻
