Industrial facility with charging infrastructure and solar panels
Sustainability

Technology for better resource management.

Monitor energy use, manage charging infrastructure, keep containers in circulation and observe environmental conditions. We develop the devices, data platforms and applications that support these tasks.

What matters

Results depend on operational use.

A reading does not save energy by itself; a tracker alone does not improve circulation. Technology becomes useful when data changes a decision. We connect measurement to planning, maintenance, production and service.

Energie
Understand consumption and load
Kreisläufe
Manage inventory and circulation
Umwelt
Observe conditions and changes

Make energy consumption visible and comparable

Meter and plant readings need site, time, production volume and operating context. We connect these records and build analytics to investigate peaks, unusual consumption and changes.

Charging infrastructure adds availability, users, events and service. We connect status to workflows; control options depend on infrastructure and interfaces.

Measurement data
Map meters and assets and define data quality and intervals.
Analysis
Compare consumption with operating data and investigate deviations.
Actions
Record owners, changes and subsequent outcomes.

Keep containers and assets in use

Missing location and condition information makes recovery, cleaning and reuse harder. ibc.digital connects container data to fleet workflows, supporting planning for the next use or service.

Assess actual dwell time, available inventory and missing handovers. Environmental evaluation also considers transport, energy and hardware; a digital system is a tool, not proof of a reduction.

Observe environmental conditions at remote sites

Remote sites often lack fixed power and networks. Our monitoring combines instruments, power and connectivity with trends, device status and notifications.

We assess sampling, data volume, battery life, maintenance and lifetime. The application distinguishes current data from stale readings and faults; operators define actions and responsibilities.

Documented collaboration

ibc.digital: data for container circulation

In 2023 BASF Coatings, THIELMANN and NXTGN announced joint development of IBC tracking, combining container expertise, industrial requirements and a digital platform.

ibc.digital is a separate container-management brand and one application of our broader IoT expertise.

Questions & answers

Does NXTGN provide sustainability or ESG certification?

This page covers technical solutions. Certification, regulatory evidence and accounting require a separate specialist scope.

Can existing equipment be retained?

We assess interfaces, devices and data. Replacement depends on measurement needs, security and maintenance.

Where do you need better information?

Discuss energy, assets or a monitoring location and assess the information needed for operational use.
