Indoor mapping and RFID tracking software for Belgium

Belgium is one of Europe’s leading pharmaceutical producers and exporters, with research, manufacturing and packaging sites in both Flanders and Wallonia, including large-scale vaccine production. From the line, products go into cold rooms, freezers and controlled-ambient stores, then to distribution centres and airports, and wholesale distribution of medicines in the EU follows the Good Distribution Practice (GDP) guidelines.

Spatial Map makes the physical state of those buildings visible. Each temperature zone is coloured by the live reading from your probes, cold-room doors show open or closed, reefer shipments sit at their docks, and stock in quarantine or waiting for QC release is marked where it stands. The Polar Pharma demo shows exactly that, including a cold room leaving its 2–8 °C band in the Cold Chain film. Spatial Map does not make a site GDP-compliant; your quality system and batch records remain the record, and the map and its exported reports help your team see and explain what happened.

Since the ports of Antwerp and Zeebrugge merged in 2022, Port of Antwerp-Bruges has been one of Europe’s largest ports, handling containers, breakbulk, new vehicles and liquid bulk. Around Antwerp sits one of the largest integrated chemical clusters in Europe, together with the warehouses that store packaged chemicals, polymers and dangerous goods for the plants and their customers.

For a port-side or chemical warehouse, Spatial Map draws compartments, racks, dock doors and yard slots on the site plan and colours them from your WMS: which compartment holds which product class, which locations are full or blocked, which trailers are waiting. RFID-tagged pallets and IBCs read at the doors appear as live markers. Spatial Map does not replace your dangerous-goods procedures or permits; it shows the data you already hold on the building.

Liège Airport is one of Europe’s major cargo airports, handling express parcels, e-commerce volumes, perishables and temperature-controlled pharmaceuticals, and Brussels Airport also runs a large cargo zone. Air freight moves in hours: shipments are built up on pallets and containers, held in cool rooms, screened and loaded against a departure time.

Spatial Map maps a cargo shed the same way it maps a warehouse — build-up areas, cool rooms, docks and staging lanes — and shows tagged shipments, dollies and equipment as live markers from your RTLS engine or RFID middleware. The Eastport Cross-Dock demo shows the time-critical side: 50 dock doors, 1,180 RFID pallets and short loads before cut-off on one map.

Belgium sits between some of Europe’s largest consumer markets, and many manufacturers and retailers run European distribution centres in Flanders — along the Antwerp–Brussels axis and in Limburg — and in Wallonia around Liège and Charleroi. These buildings often serve several countries and several clients at once.

Spatial Map shows such a distribution centre as one live map: rack locations coloured by stock from your WMS, RFID cartons followed from receiving to the dock, packing and staging areas in context. The Crestline Fulfillment demo has 2,204 rack locations. Read-only share links let each client see only their floors and layers, with an expiry date and no account needed.

Belgium has three official languages: Dutch, French and German. The Spatial Map interface is available in French and German — useful in Wallonia, Brussels and the German-speaking Community in the east — but not yet in Dutch; Flemish teams typically use it in English. Each user picks their own language, so a French-speaking QA team and an English-speaking warehouse team can work on the same facility, and room names, rack codes and report titles stay in whatever language you type them.

Under the GDPR, location data that can be linked to employees is personal data, and in Belgian workplaces employee representatives may also have a say before monitoring tools are introduced; your legal advisers decide what applies. Most pharma and logistics projects tag pallets, IBCs and equipment rather than people. A data processing agreement is available and the security page explains how data is protected. Our team works with Belgian customers remotely, by video call and through the contact form, and quotes larger rollouts as a fixed-price custom service in French, German or English.
