Why many warehouse processes still cost time and money today
In many logistics centers and production halls, goods movements are still recorded manually.
Accompanying slips get lost, storage is not documented immediately, and search times add up over the course of the day.
Without digital support, there is no continuous overview of the material flow. This not only slows down efficiency, but can also lead to bottlenecks and delays in production.
Your solution: Forklift terminal for transparent warehouse processes
Our GRAIDWARE® terminal application transforms every forklift terminal into a central control and information platform for your warehouse processes. The software connects all relevant data sources, displays clear orders to your drivers, and reports the current status directly back to your ERP system.
Features that simplify your everyday work:
- Clear display showing which load has been picked up and where it belongs
- Prioritized order lists so that urgent tasks can be completed immediately
- Offline working possible – even without a permanent Wi-Fi connection
- Map view showing available storage locations and containers
- Automatic recording of drop-off positions using location technologies
- Flexible combination of different identification methods
Why investing in a forklift terminal pays off

Automatic plausibility check of the recorded data
Ortrander Eisenhütte: Faster speeds and fewer errors with an Industry 4.0 solution
At Ortrander Eisenhütte, our forklift terminal is used in a demanding production environment. Instead of laboriously identifying containers using accompanying slips, drivers now receive all relevant information directly on their terminal.
Today, containers at Ortrander Eisenhütte are equipped with RFID transponders that contain all relevant information. At the same time, the forklifts themselves are equipped with state-of-the-art RFID and RTLS technology: while the load is recorded via RFID, the position is determined via the RTLS system on the forklift. This allows the position of the parked container to be clearly identified and assigned.
As soon as a container is picked up, the terminal displays which object is on the fork and which task is associated with it—for example, storage or further transport to production.
When the load is set down, the system automatically records the position of the forklift and reports the storage location in the block storage area back to the ERP. If a container is placed in the wrong location, the driver receives immediate feedback.
Order distribution has also been optimized: accepted delivery orders disappear for other drivers. A map overview also shows available storage locations and containers ready for pickup.
