Hazardous stock is only as safe as the record that says where it is.

GlobeRanger keeps a true record of hazardous and high value stock across stores, tanks, and transfer points, including the condition each container is in. It keeps working even where there is no network.

A wrong entry in a chemical store is a safety question.

A chemical operation holds stock where the record and the physical reality have to agree exactly:

  • Drums, IBCs, and cylinders that move between store, plant, and transfer point
  • Materials whose condition decides whether they can still be used
  • Segregation rules that depend on knowing what is standing next to what

An item recorded in the wrong place is not an inventory error here. It can result in a segregation breach, a batch being used beyond its permitted window, or an inspection that cannot be verified afterwards.

GlobeRanger reads the tags on containers and maintains a record of where each container is, its current condition, and its condition over time, helping determine whether a material can still be used. A container leaving its zone, or moving outside its required temperature range, raises an exception.

It runs at the edge, so tracking continues in stores and transfer points without network coverage, and integrates with the systems you already use.

Defence

There is no network inside an ammunition bunker.

A German defence manufacturer produces ammunition and stores it together with explosives in former bunkers. The stock falls under hazard divisions 1.1 to 1.4.

Facilities like these are physically shielded. There is no continuous radio connection inside them, and counting by hand is neither fast nor dependable for this kind of stock. Each bunker therefore runs its own installation. Staff confirm the stock by scanning. Data capture continues without a connection and reconciles as soon as connectivity returns.

The same requirement applies wherever stock records must remain accurate despite a lack of connectivity, including hazardous goods stores, and shielded facilities.

The customer has asked not to be named.

Manufacturing

Baker Hill Industries: precision parts, tracked through the process.

Baker Hill Industries runs GlobeRanger to track precision machined components in real time as they move through manufacturing. What carries over is a high value item that has to be locatable at every step of a process, not only at the beginning and the end.

Stock counted by the vehicles that move it.

In a distribution centre running GlobeRanger, RFID readers sit on the forklifts, so the vehicles that move the stock also record it. In a chemical store the same idea captures every container movement without fixed equipment in every aisle.

How a chemicals programme starts.

The four stages are the same everywhere. What differs here is that safety approves before anything moves.

Demo call

13 or 26 minutes

A video call with the GlobeRanger team. One question: does GlobeRanger fit your operation?

Bootcamp

1 to 3 daysCredited

One to three days on site. We work out which stock carries the risk, whether it starts in the store, at the transfer point, or with a single hazard class, and what a pilot would cover.

Pilot

6 to 12 weeks

A trial run on your own use case, in one store or on one material class. GlobeRanger proves that it works in your operation, not on a slide.

Performance Mode

ongoing

The rollout across stores, plants, or the whole site, scoped and priced on what boot camp and pilot made concrete.

The first step costs 13 minutes.
