With ekko eKanban, reordering processes are automated. This drastically reduces costs for a safe supply of materials.
Saving time when reordering
Higher material availability
Lower capital commitment
In contrast to other eKanban solutions, ekko is characterized by a high level of interoperability and seamless integration into existing IT systems.
Reduces installation and maintenance costs and increases flexibility
Intuitive dashboards that centrally monitor and visualize all material flows.
Sensors, rockers, etc. register material movements in real time
Increases sustainability in your company
With ekko eKanban, material supply is optimized through automated reorders and real-time monitoring. Intelligent sensors and smart labels ensure a seamless and reliable supply of materials, while the dashboard makes the entire process transparent and easy to control.

Step 1
State/Status Change
During picking, defined triggers, such as the button on the smart label or shelf rockers, record material changes. In this example, the material status changes to “empty.”
Step 2
Reorder/ eKanban Dashboards
The status change is transmitted to the ekko platform and visualized on the ekko eKanban dashboards. This triggers an automatic reorder, whereupon the smart label for the material to be refilled in the central warehouse lights up.

Eliminates manual tasks
Thanks to smart labels, the current status can be dynamically displayed, among other features. Our smart labels are available in various sizes and formats.
Energy-saving, wireless, efficient and very easy to read
We rely on proven hardware for absolutely smooth processes
60+ years of experience in developing switching devices, sensors and rockers
Visual overviews of current material status within the ekko platform
Cross-device transition of picking and commissioning
Full Control and Transparency
The ekko eKanban dashboards provide clear, visual overviews of the current material status. They show inventory changes, pending reorders and critical bottlenecks in real time so that material flows can be efficiently controlled and optimized.
The ekko eKanban dashboards can be flexibly used on tablets directly on the shop floor — permanently mounted on shelves, for example. In this way, workers always have an overview of material stocks, reorders and bottlenecks in real time without having to leave their workplace.

Fewer manual errors
eKanban automates the reordering of materials using sensors, scan events, or button triggers. Replenishment is initiated directly in ERP or WMS.
Every 1.25 seconds, a cyclical query runs as to whether an LED should light up or not. Accordingly, it takes a maximum of 1.25 seconds until an LED lights up or goes out.
Every 20 seconds → In case of rarer changes, the displays switch to a kind of standby state, so that the gateway's response time is faster for more frequent changes.

Full transparency, no lost cards, automated processes and shorter response times — this reduces costs and increases supply security.
Individual: e.g. by detecting vacancy via sensor, pressing a button on the label or changing ERP data.
Up to 8 hours less effort per day for reorders, 50% higher material availability, 15% lower capital commitment.
Yes, ekko can be used along the entire supply chain — from warehouse to line.
