ekko — the SaaS platform for industry is based on a partnership with SOLUM to ideally support all shop floor and logistics processes.
ekko is an Industry 4.0 SaaS platform for digitizing material and information flows out of the box. By digitizing paper-based processes in industry, the SaaS platform offers significant potential for cost savings. This not only drastically reduces search, run or training times, but also completely eliminates paper and toner costs. The ekko code has the ability to represent production processes almost as a digital twin. In this way, it is possible to trace which part is where and in which condition throughout production and logistics. In this way, production steps can be supported by individual building instructions or extensive data analyses can be carried out at picking, production or plant level.
Digitizing error-prone processes can increase efficiency by 87% and save several million sheets of paper. Through a combination of hardware, ePaper labels from SOLUM and our EKKO platforms, ekko has already helped numerous companies digitize material and information flow processes.
SOLUM's diverse range of solutions and the range of functions in configuring the LEDs and buttons enable ekko to respond individually to customer requirements in order to implement process digitization in the best possible way.
By covering the 2.4 GHz as well as the sub-GHz frequency range, optimal integration into the existing radio infrastructure is achieved. Fast data transfer, a special variant for order picking and a robust housing complete the range of functions.
