Case Study: 3B Hungária cuts component search time by 90% with Sewio RTLS

3B Hungária cuts component search time by 90% with Sewio Networks

3B Hungária, a family business manufacturing material handling equipment, faced significant production inefficiencies in its large factory. The challenge was locating specific steel assembly parts among many similar ones within a 3,200 m² metallic environment, a process that often took workers 2-3 hours and led to delays and wasted time. To achieve digital transformation and gain precise control, they turned to Sewio Networks and its UWB-based Real-Time Locating System (RTLS) to provide accurate indoor positioning.

The solution from Sewio involved installing a network of anchors to enable high-accuracy tracking, even in the harsh metallic setting, and tagging hundreds of pallets. This allowed operators to use an indoor navigation app to instantly locate components. The result was a dramatic 90% reduction in average search time, from 2-3 hours down to just 15 minutes. Sewio's implementation gave 3B Hungária full control over the manufacturing process, significantly shortening lead times, eliminating unproductive time, and reducing unnecessary costs.
