IBC tracking that helps you replenish on time

Smart IBCs that report on themselves

A Smart Container device turns each IBC into one live record: where it is, how it is moving, how full it is and the conditions it has been through. Fill level comes from patented fill-level sensing, proven on sealed beer kegs and calibrated to the container. Location comes from multi-source positioning, from your filling site to customer sites and back. There is nothing to scan and no infrastructure at any site.

IBC fill level monitoring for on-time replenishment

When you can see how much is left in each IBC at a customer site, you can deliver the next one before the line stops, instead of reacting to an urgent order. Fewer run-outs mean fewer missed sales and customers who keep ordering from you.

See demand, site by site

Daily fill level shows how fast each customer is using product. Plan filling, deliveries and stock around actual use, and give sales teams a clear view of which accounts are growing.

Turn every IBC faster

An IBC earns nothing while it sits empty in a yard. IBC monitoring shows how long each container waits at every stop, so you can collect empties sooner, return them to service and grow volumes without buying IBCs to cover blind spots.

Less time counting, fewer wasted runs

Collect IBCs when they are actually empty, send drivers where the containers are and check balances against what each customer really holds, with no manual counts.

Proven on beer kegs, heading to IBCs next

Our devices are deployed on beer kegs with two of the world's three largest brewers and a leading UK cider maker. Kegs are one of the hardest returnable fleets to track, and they have proven the technology. Fill-level sensing for IBCs is where the technology is heading next: the same patented device and platform, calibrated to each IBC type and its contents. If you own, pool or fill IBCs, register your interest now.

Frequently asked questions

What is IBC tracking?

It means knowing where each intermediate bulk container is, how long it has been there and, with our device, how full it is, every day, without scanning it.

Can I use Smart Container IBC tracking today?

Kegs are what we do today. IBCs are where our technology is heading next. Register your interest and we will talk to you about your fleet.

How will IBC fill level be monitored?

With our patented fill-level sensing, proven on sealed beer kegs and calibrated to the IBC type and its contents.

Will I need scanners or readers at my sites or my customers' sites?

No. Each device reports by itself, so there is nothing to scan and no infrastructure at any site.

How long does the battery last?

The device has a multi-year battery.
