Leybold Roots Blower Pumps

Leybold, one of the world’s leading providers of vacuum pumps and systems, will integrate ScanTrust’s QR codes on every Leybold product globally. The implementation is in full swing and is scheduled to be finalized in the second quarter of 2017.

Leybold, a company with about 1500 employees and a revenue of more than EUR 300 million, will leverage the ScanTrust Internet of Things platform to create unique digital identifiers of each individual product. By connecting each product to the web and leveraging the use of a simple smartphone, Leybold will be able to allow customers, partners and employees to interact with their products in new ways, offering enhanced services and use real-time business intelligence to improve supply chain efficiency.

For ScanTrust, this project demonstrates the scalability and stability of its Internet of Things platform, as the implementation covers more than 7,000 SKUs (stock keeping units) and also includes SAP integration into Leybold’s systems.

Leybold’s Head of Business Development Carl Brockmeyer commented: “We are increasingly engaging in fast-paced and dynamic business environments. The integration of unique QR codes opens up entirely new business models and channels to interact with our customers worldwide, further enhancing Leybold’s efforts to digitize our supply chains and our continuous efforts to offer more valuable experiences to users of our products.

CUBE, which facilitated the partnership by connecting both parties, is a global innovation ecosystem, bridging the gap between top B2B startups and major industry leaders worldwide. Fitting startups can qualify to become a member of CUBE’s ecosystem for free.

Speaking about the agreement between ScanTrust and Leybold, CUBE’s Executive Chairman Torsten Oelke is proud: “Having launched CUBE in June 2016, this business partnership is proof of our mission. By connecting startups and industry players, just like these two unlikely partners, we want to foster digitalization and make industry 4.0 visible.“

ScanTrust co-founder and CEO Nathan J. Anderson said, “Finding the right startup-corporate relationship is always a challenge for both sides, as misaligned needs and visions can lead to frustration rather than fulfillment. The CUBE ecosystem was invaluable in helping us find an ideal partner like Leybold, someone who truly shares our vision for bringing innovative solutions to the supply chain to grow business and was serious about putting these leading-edge solutions into action. We look forward to participating in the inaugural Cube Tech Fair this May in Berlin to further extend our network of innovative corporate partners.”
