Case Study: Volkswagen Slovakia cuts intralogistics delays and boosts efficiency with Sewio RTLS

Volkswagen Slovakia cuts intralogistics delays by 95% with Sewio Networks

Sewio Networks implemented its UWB-powered Real-Time Location System (RTLS) for Volkswagen Slovakia, a global automotive manufacturer facing costly inefficiencies in its intralogistics. The company relied on manual processes for monitoring tugger routes, leading to production delays and a lack of real-time data for proactive logistics planning within its metal-rich factory environment.

The solution involved a phased rollout of Sewio's RTLS to enable precise indoor tracking. This data was analyzed and visualized to optimize routes and processes, ultimately integrating with a Digital Twin and navigational tools for operators. As a result, Volkswagen Slovakia reduced weekly supply chain delays by 95%, decreased its tugger train fleet by 20%, and improved new operator training efficiency by 50%, while fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
