stake in Solcon Systemtechnik GmbH, L\u00fcbeck. With this move, the BOWE GROUP expands its portfolio, particularly with high-performance electronic tracking (RTLS) and RFID solutions, which are increasingly in demand in intralogistics and numerous other industries. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Innovative RTLS, RFID, and other electronic 1 tracking technologies are gaining increasing importance as core technologies for localization solutions (track &amp; trace) for use in the IoT to track assets and products across various industries. The demand for cost-effective and highly precise RTLS and GPS solutions is rapidly increasing as various products, such as anti-collision systems, based on these technologies enter the market. The development and practical implementation of such solutions is now the main business of Solcon Systemtechnik GmbH, which is known for its high innovation and technological leadership in this area. Founded in 1992, the company has also made a name for itself as a manufacturer of customized industrial PCs for use in particularly harsh or sensitive environments and 2 of mobile computer workstations with a wide range of variations.   <\/p>\n<p>Through the acquisition of a stake in Solcon, which was completed in mid-April 2023, the BOWE GROUP has gained access to an attractive portfolio of advanced trend technologies.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-34a6ef6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"34a6ef6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">ATTRACTIVE PORTFOLIO EXPANSION<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-424191d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"424191d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Solcon&#8217;s developments strengthen the automation expertise of the BOWE GROUP. They perfectly complement the solutions offered by the BOWE business units BOWE IQ and BOWE INTRALOGISTICS in the areas of auto-ID, track &amp; trace, and asset tracking and asset management. <\/p>\n<p>In addition to RFID products, the focus is on Solcon&#8217;s tracking solutions. For example, a TDoA (Time Difference of Arrival) method developed by the company based on radio wave propagation time measurement enables very fast and precise indoor tracking. This technology allows a large number of moving objects to be located simultaneously in real time. In this area, Solcon has extensive experience with customer projects, some of which involve the simultaneous tracking and monitoring of several hundred industrial trucks. In addition to intralogistics and industrial manufacturing processes, the tracking of vehicle fleets in public transport is one of the growing application areas for Solcon&#8217;s tracking technology.    <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cb15a71 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"cb15a71\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">ENORMOUS SYNERGY POTENTIAL<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3fbd574 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3fbd574\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>&#8220;With this new investment, we are expanding our portfolio with market-leading solution components that complement and enhance the offerings of BOWE IQ and BOWE INTRALOGISTICS.
