Scania ordered in June 2017 a pilot of H&D Wireless indoor positioning system - A so-called Real-Time Locating System (RTLS). The solution has meant that the truck giant has been able to evaluate the technology RTLS to get a better overview of processes and objects that are in production. The new order from Scania means an operating agreement of 17 Months from H&D Wireless for GEPS positioning service, integration and testing together with leading supplier's tools, preparation for 5G connection and the possibility of commercial piloting.

- The continued confidence of the world's perhaps best and most efficient truck manufacturers shows what business benefits our solution can create. We can help to improve the use of equipment with 20 to 30 percent, says Pär, CEO of H&D Wireless.

H&D Wireless proprietary solution GEPS for Industry (Griffin Enterprise Positioning Services) means that hardware and software are installed to manage digitalization and automation. The system digitizes and visualize physical processes and identifies, among other, management of materials, production bottlenecks, utilization rate of resources and unexpected machine interruptions by radio positioning and artificial intelligence (AI). The ambition is to reduce the cost of manufacturing, reduce lead times and tied-up capital. H&D Wireless estimates a payback period for the system of less than six months for a typical installation.

- The first stage of the pilot project has got good outcome. Therefore, we now continue the installation to demonstrate the benefits of processes in our internal manufacturing and continue integration with Scania's systems" says Lars Hanson, Project manager for Smart Factory Lab at Scania.
