Keyword: goods stretching Title: Wartrecking Revolution: This is how the RFID system at Stuttgart 21 works

The Seele company has developed a ware tracking system to coordinate the large number of components for the large project Stuttgart 21. The construction site for the new Stuttgart main station extends over an area as large as five soccer fields. Seele realized 27 skylights and 3 shells for project, whereby the components come from different works. In order to keep an overview of deliveries and bearings, an automated system for inventory care was developed.

The Seele's RFID system is based on the radio frequency identification technology, which enables you to exchange data about radio waves between transponder and reader. Each packing piece receives its own RFID label, which is recorded by the reader. This system was developed by the Virtual Construction Engineer Sebastian Lippert to digitally map the construction progress and help everyone involved. The RFID gates automatically record the labels and the employees on site are equipped with mobile readers.

The automated scanning of the RFID labels optimizes logistics and the assembly processes are more efficient. The technology enables the progress of the construction work to be digitally mapped and integrated all relevant information in a common 3D model. This digitization offensive of Seele helps to map the construction work for the new Stuttgart main station and represents an important step towards digital transformation. Andreas Hafner, Managing Director of Seele GmbH, emphasizes the importance of RFID tracking for logistics and assembly as part of the major project Stuttgart 21.
