CLIENT FROM

2024

"Thanks to Columat, we have reduced operational time in asset management and completely eliminated the loss of PDAs. We now have full traceability integrated with our software, ensuring total control in every shift."

Dani Altarriba

Operations Manager at ID Logistics

THE CHALLENGE

Controlling asset chaos during shift changes

ID Logistics manages thousands of daily movements where PDAs and scanners are vital tools. Manual management of these assets generated serious inefficiencies:

01

Frequent loss of PDAs and untraceable tools

01

20-minute bottlenecks during shift changes

01

Devices uncharged and unready for new shifts

01

Zero real-time visibility on asset status

Facing this situation, ID Logistics needed a solution to digitize the physical flow and integrate it with their management systems.

THE RESULT

From operational chaos to full control: a new layer of logistics infrastructure

The implementation of Smart Lockers transformed daily operations, achieving 100% traceability of assets.

THE SOLUTION

A smart internal logistics node for asset orchestration

Columat deployed a connected Smart Locker infrastructure designed as an internal logistics node, enabling autonomous management of shared devices through controlled delivery, return, and monitoring.

SMART DEVICE MANAGEMENT

Automated allocation, collection and return of PDAs based on user, role or shift, ensuring availability and eliminating manual coordination.

REAL-TIME TRACEABILITY

Full visibility of who uses each device, when and in what condition, enabling accountability and data-driven decision-making.

INCIDENT AND MAINTENANCE CONTROL

Automated reporting of damages, malfunctions and usage patterns to anticipate failures and reduce operational disruptions.

SHIFT-READY DEVICE AVAILABILITY

Devices are charged, audited and ready for every shift, removing bottlenecks and ensuring continuous operational flow.

CONCLUSION

Automating the invisible to scale what truly matters

The ID Logistics case demonstrates that efficiency in logistics environments is not only about optimizing goods flow, but about controlling the assets that make those flows possible.

Columat’s implementation not only eliminated losses and reduced operational time, but also established a new operational culture based on accountability, traceability, and shared efficiency.

This model transforms asset management into a competitive advantage, scalable across multiple sites and extendable to additional use cases such as PPE, tools, or documentation.
