Case Study: Loadstar Sensors achieves real-time wireless inventory visibility with Digi International's XBee RF modules

Digi XBee RF Modules Enable Loadstar Sensors to Create StockVUE Wireless Inventory Management

Loadstar Sensors, a maker of capacitive and resistive load, torque and displacement sensors, was asked to solve a common retail problem: retailers, manufacturers and distributors often lack real‑time visibility into on‑shelf inventory, leading to costly stock‑outs, manual store checks, delayed replenishment and lost sales — illustrated by empty promotional pallets in high‑traffic stores.

Loadstar created StockVue, a cloud‑enabled system that uses battery‑powered digital weight sensors on pallets and shelves to calculate inventory as items are removed, sending that data via Digi XBee 802.15.4 RF modules for reliable, low‑latency connectivity. The result is instant, remote visibility that eliminates stock‑outs, reduces carrying and labor costs, integrates with ERP/WMS systems, and improves revenue and supplier relationships.
