Thinkin Technologies: IoT and Digital Twin for Digital Transformation
Internet of Things (IoT) technologies are revolutionizing sectors such as manufacturing, healthcare, and retail by enhancing efficiency, automation, and data management. ThinkIN leverages IoT to create digital twins, bridging the gap between the physical and digital worlds and enabling innovative services for intelligent monitoring of processes, assets, and resources.
Our platform integrates RTLS, GPS, and advanced sensors, offering a scalable, integrable, and highly configurable solution. Thanks to its compatibility with ERP, MES, and WMS systems, Thinkin supports companies in improving productivity, optimizing operational workflows, and reducing costs.
Internet of Things
Internet of Things (IoT) technologies are profoundly transforming the digitalization of key sectors such as manufacturing, healthcare, and retail, introducing new paradigms of efficiency, automation, and personalization.
Through these technologies, it is possible to create a Digital Twin of processes, bridging the information gap that currently exists between the physical and digital worlds, and enabling innovative services capable of addressing some of the main challenges in sectors such as manufacturing, healthcare, and retail.
Thinkin has always focused on services enabled by Internet of Things technologies, with a proven track record of projects across various industries and countries.
The knowledge of where assets are located within a physical space is a fundamental element for the digitalization of processes occurring in these environments. RTLS technologies provide this information, with varying characteristics depending on the chosen technology.
With over 65,000 tracked assets and more than 15 years of field experience in diverse RTLS projects, Thinkin is the ideal partner to support companies in adopting cutting-edge RTLS systems.
These systems enable enhanced visibility, optimization of internal processes, and the introduction of advanced automation.
GPS Tracking offers an advanced solution for monitoring and managing critical assets and logistics processes on a large geographical scale. By integrating various localization technologies, it is possible to continuously and reliably track an asset both indoors and outdoors. Through NB-IoT technologies, these devices can connect to the cellular network to transmit data without additional infrastructure.
Thanks to our IoT platform, Thinkin enables companies to optimize supply chain visibility, improve safety, and reduce operational costs. The solutions are designed for long battery life and to incorporate advanced features such as environmental condition monitoring and operational parameter tracking.
This technology represents a fundamental pillar for the management of fleets, logistics, and supply chains, offering a complete and always up-to-date view.
Through Digital Displays, Sensors, and other IoT devices, it is possible to interact with the physical world, creating a connection that starts from the digital front of the Digital Twin and provides operational support to those working in the physical world.
Digital Displays are IoT devices, battery-powered and remotely managed, allowing interaction with the physical world. The main features are a variable-size e-ink screen for conveying dynamic information, a high-visibility LED to visually guide operators, and configurable buttons that can be associated with different actions depending on application needs.
Sensors are battery-powered devices, remotely controlled, and capable of detecting field parameters such as temperature, humidity, door opening/closing, fill level, and much more. These devices can also control visual elements like a high-visibility LED, acoustic elements such as a siren/buzzer, or, more generally, a relay through which any powered device can be activated.
Thinkin Platform
The Thinkin platform is designed to support the digital transformation of companies by combining the most advanced IoT technologies with data analysis tools to provide intelligent and scalable solutions.
By creating a digital twin of the facility, Thinkin enables real-time monitoring of processes, assets, and resources, ensuring complete control and optimizing operational efficiency. The cloud-based architecture of the platform is highly configurable, with seamless integration into major enterprise management systems such as ERP, MES, and WMS.
The Thinkin platform offers a unique combination of tools to help companies improve productivity, reduce costs, and make decisions based on precise and reliable data.
-
Extensive Field Validation:Thinkin has been operating in the RTLS solutions domain for over 10 years, with a proven track record of B2B projects across various industries and geographies. This extensive experience in delivering such projects is made available to new clients.
-
Enterprise-Ready Architectures:
The platform is built on architectural components designed to ensure maximum scalability based on project requirements, resource elasticity, and redundancy of various components.
-
Multi-Technology Hardware Integration:
The Thinkin platform seamlessly integrates one or more RTLS technologies. This allows it to effectively address even highly complex application scenarios. -
Active Monitoring:
Thinkin actively monitors every component of the system, both hardware (e.g., antennas and TAG battery levels) and software (e.g., client-installed software and cloud components). Any malfunction is detected in real time.
-
Cloud and On-Premise Installation:
The Thinkin platform is typically provided as a cloud installation. However, it can also be delivered on-premise when required. In both cases, remote support is provided for platform management and maintenance.
-
Remote Technical Support:
Technical support and maintenance are available for every system component, both remotely and on-site when necessary. This also includes raw data storage for future imports (e.g., in the event of Internet connectivity loss).
-
Easy Integration with Third-Party Systems:
Integration is available via APIs (REST, MQTT, edge databases, and more) or through the incorporation of widgets (e.g., search widgets, map visualization, etc.).
Location Analytics is the technology that allows real-time monitoring and analysis of the movement of people, vehicles, and goods within operational areas.
By combining location data and advanced analytics, Thinkin transforms raw data into actionable insights to improve efficiency, optimize space organization, and make strategic operational decisions.
The Thinkin solution is based on a fully integrated system with RTLS, GPS, and IoT technologies, supported by intuitive dashboards and interactive maps that provide a 360-degree view of every business operation.
Thinkin provides location-based services based on real-time location data to make indoor spaces interactive and responsive.
By monitoring the position and movement of objects and people, Thinkin creates a real-time snapshot of what is happening within the physical space. Moreover, thanks to a set of rules (business rules or triggers), it is possible to trigger predefined events, such as notifications and alarms.
The Digital Twin is a virtual representation of your production facility, replicating in real time assets, processes, and physical operations.
Through the combination of IoT, RTLS, GPS Tracking, and advanced sensors, Thinkin creates a digital twin that allows you to monitor, analyze, and optimize every aspect of your business operations.
With the Digital Twin, you can gain full visibility into what is happening in your facility, make data-driven decisions, and simulate future scenarios to improve performance and reduce operational costs.
