Indoor mapping and RFID tracking software for Austria

Around Graz, Styria hosts one of Europe’s densest automotive clusters: complete-vehicle contract manufacturing, drivetrain and electronics suppliers, and engineering service providers, with many more suppliers across Upper and Lower Austria. Most of what they make is exported, much of it to vehicle plants in Germany and Central Europe, delivered against call-offs and often in sequence.

For a supplier, the critical area is the outbound side: finished parts staged per customer and per call-off, customer-owned returnable containers that must not go missing, and sequenced racks that have to leave on time. Spatial Map draws those areas on the hall layout and fills them from your ERP and RFID data — containers read at each door, racks coloured by status, trucks at the dock. The Summit Assembly demo shows WIP carriers, 867 rack locations and the receiving and shipping docks.

Machinery and plant engineering is one of Austria’s largest export industries, from machine tools and plastics machinery to equipment for steel, paper, energy and food plants. Much of it is built to order in assembly halls where one project can occupy a bay for weeks, and the bottlenecks are rarely on the drawing: a kit that is not complete, a purchased part still in goods-in, a test stand that is busy.

Spatial Map shows each bay coloured by project status from your ERP, with kits and purchased parts as RFID-tagged markers and shared tools or measuring equipment located by your BLE system. Row history in the detail drawer shows when a kit last moved, and the report builder turns the same data into a weekly hall overview exported to PDF or Excel.

Vienna sits on the Danube and on road and rail corridors towards Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary and the Balkans, and many international companies run their Central and Eastern European distribution from the Vienna region. The Port of Vienna combines river, rail and road, and Linz is another Danube logistics hub further west.

Distribution centres serving several countries benefit from one shared picture. Spatial Map shows rack locations coloured by stock from your WMS, RFID cartons and pallets followed to the dock, and trailers in the yard; read-only share links let a country organisation or a client see their part without an account. The Crestline Fulfillment and Eastport Cross-Dock demos show both sides.

Forests cover almost half of Austria, and sawmills, panel producers, glulam and cross-laminated timber manufacturers and pellet plants turn that wood into products sold across Europe. Their sites combine large halls with outdoor yards, drying kilns and storage for finished packs.

Spatial Map maps the halls and the yard alongside them: kilns coloured by the temperature and humidity readings from your sensors, storage bays for finished packs coloured by stock from your ERP, and forklifts and loaders as live markers from your RTLS engine. A map of the whole site in one browser tab replaces the walk across the yard to check.

In Austria, the Labour Constitution Act (Arbeitsverfassungsgesetz, ArbVG) gives the works council (Betriebsrat) co-determination rights over control measures and technical systems used to monitor employees. Where such a system affects human dignity, it generally requires a works agreement (Betriebsvereinbarung) before it is introduced, and companies without a works council may need individual employee consent instead. Together with the GDPR and the Austrian Data Protection Act (DSG), this makes it sensible to define purpose and limits early. This is not legal advice; your legal advisers and works council decide the details.

Spatial Map keeps that discussion simple. Most plant projects tag containers, kits, tools and packs rather than people, and the map shows only the data you send it. Roles limit who sees a facility, share links expose only selected layers and floors, and every workspace is isolated. A data processing agreement is available and the security page explains how data is protected.

The app is available in German, alongside English, French, Spanish, Arabic and Chinese, and each user picks their own language; room names, rack codes and report titles stay exactly as you write them, Austrian terms included. Spatial Map is sold online at the same USD price worldwide, and our team works with customers in Austria remotely, by video call and through the contact form. Floor-plan digitisation and integration for larger sites are quoted as a fixed-price custom service in German or English. This page is also available in German.
