Traggert

What Traggert does

Traggert GmbH is an early-stage German industrial-technology company founded in 2021 and headquartered in Germany, operating with a three-person founding team (Alex, Vito, Tobias). The company builds hardware-and-software systems for paperless shopfloor production at manufacturing customers, replacing paper-based order documents (Auftragsbegleitscheine) with reusable ePaper tags that are localized in real time via Bluetooth.

The core product is a modular system combining ePaper Tags (reusable, energy-efficient e-Ink displays available in multiple sizes with industrial housings), ePaper Stations (hardware for precise Bluetooth-based position calculation and bidirectional tag communication), and the Orchestrator software (handling position calculation, ePaper communication, process automation, and secure ERP/MES data integration). The technology differentiates through low-energy reusable hardware, indoor Bluetooth localization, and bidirectional communication between displays and orchestrating software, designed to slot into existing ERP/MES environments of mid-market and enterprise manufacturers.

The business model is a hybrid hardware-plus-software sale executed via enterprise-focused direct field sales: ePaper Tags and Stations are sold as multi-year unit contracts while the positioning/display software is positioned as an annual subscription. The go-to-market emphasizes personalized ROI calculations, demo requests, and case-study content targeted at German manufacturing decision-makers. The company has one disclosed funding round of approximately $434,654 (March 2022), no published customer logos, and pricing is "auf Anfrage" — all consistent with a pre-revenue or very early commercialization phase.

Revenue model

1. Hardware Sales (ePaper Tags): Sale of reusable ePaper tags with different display sizes and industrial-grade housings. Tags communicate positioning and display updates with stations.
2. Hardware Sales (ePaper Stations): Sale of hardware stations with precise positioning capabilities for calculating tag positions and communicating with tag displays.
3. Positioning and Display Software: Software for visualizing positions, managing display tags, and solving various industrial use cases. Likely sold as subscription or license.

Core offering

Traggert sells a paperless shopfloor production system composed of reusable ePaper Tags (electronic paper displays in multiple sizes), ePaper Stations (hardware for precise Bluetooth-based position calculation and tag communication), and the Orchestrator software platform for position visualization, display management, process automation, and ERP/MES integration. The offering replaces paper-based order documents (Auftragsbegleitscheine) with localized digital displays on manufacturing shopfloors.

Product overview

Traggert offers a paperless production solution comprising modular hardware components and software. The core hardware consists of ePaper Tags (reusable electronic display tags with e-Ink screens in various sizes) and ePaper Stations (positioning hardware units). These are managed by the Orchestrator software platform, which handles position calculation, ePaper communication, and process automation, enabling real-time information delivery and localization on the shopfloor without paper-based order documentation.

Differentiator

Problem solved

Functional benefit

Products and services

• ePaper Tag Reusable industrial-grade electronic paper (e-Ink) display tags available in multiple display sizes (and a version without display). Tags communicate wirelessly with ePaper Stations for positioning and display updates on the shopfloor, and feature robust casings and holders for industrial environments.
• ePaper Station Hardware device providing precise position calculation of ePaper Tags and bidirectional communication with the tag displays. Forms the localization infrastructure that powers Traggert's shopfloor tracking.
• Positioning and Display Software (Orchestrator) Central software platform for visualizing tag positions, managing display tags, calculating positions, handling ePaper communication, automating process workflows, and integrating securely with ERP and MES data. Sold as a recurring subscription on an annual cadence.

Quantifiable outcome

• Replaces paper-based order tracking with digital ePaper displays

Direct peers

• Litum: Provides RTLS and indoor location technology for industrial and manufacturing environments using BLE and UWB. Comparable to Traggert's BLE-based positioning layer, though Litum focuses on asset and personnel tracking rather than ePaper-based information display.
• PervasID: UK-based provider of RTLS and passive RFID infrastructure for industrial and healthcare tracking. Comparable to Traggert on the real-time indoor positioning layer that underpins the paperless shopfloor use case.
• Tulip Interfaces: Frontline operations platform for manufacturers that digitizes shopfloor workflows with connected apps and IoT data. Most directly comparable to Traggert in targeting paperless production and shopfloor digitalization, although Tulip's primary form factor is tablet/phone-based apps rather than ePaper tags.
• Kontakt.io: Provider of BLE beacons, gateways, and indoor location software used in industrial and enterprise environments. Comparable to Traggert's Bluetooth-based localization infrastructure and the data pipeline feeding the Orchestrator.

Emerging players

• Pillar: Manufacturing operations platform that digitizes production workflows, training, and quality for shopfloor teams. Emerging player with partial overlap on the paperless shopfloor and shopfloor digitalization theme, though not focused on ePaper tags or BLE localization.

Broad incumbents

• Siemens: Operates MindSphere and Opcenter MES for industrial digitalization and Industry 4.0. A broad incumbent that owns the ERP/MES relationships Traggert integrates with, and could extend into paperless shopfloor offerings as a natural portfolio extension.
• Bosch: Major German industrial and IoT player with Industry 4.0 and connected-shopfloor offerings. As a broad incumbent and fellow German-headquartered industrial firm, Bosch is a likely competitive and partnership counterparty for Traggert.
• Honeywell: Large industrial conglomerate with software and IoT offerings for manufacturing, warehousing, and supply chain. Broad incumbent competing in the same overall digitalization theme that Traggert addresses at the shopfloor level.
• Zebra Technologies: Global provider of industrial asset tracking, RFID, barcode, and location solutions used in manufacturing and logistics. Broad incumbent in industrial identification and tracking, overlapping with Traggert's shopfloor visibility use case.
• SAP: Dominant ERP and MES vendor (SAP ME, SAP MII) used by large manufacturers globally. Broad incumbent whose installed base defines the integration landscape that Traggert's Orchestrator plugs into, and that could itself expand into shopfloor paperless workflows.
