BASF, THIELMANN, and NXTGN signed a Joint Development Agreement (JDA), laying the foundation for a strategic partnership in the field of intermediate bulk container (IBC) tracking. In the coming months, the industry partners will further develop, technically and commercially, the solution for level measurement and location analysis of IBCs, developed by BASF's coatings division. The product named “Tracingo” will be integrated into NXTGN’s platform “ibc.digital”.
Forwarding companies and manufacturers of all types of liquids can use “ibc.digital” to track and document the location of their containers, their fill level and conditions in real time. This transparency enables optimized resource planning, customized maintenance, and complete traceability. The partners are also preparing the sensors for ATEX certification to enable their use in hazardous areas and to meet highest safety requirements.
