B.A.T. · Better Adhesive Tracking SwitzerlandEvery bonding process. Seamlessly monitored.

Industry 4.0 · Made in Germany · DIN 2304, DIN 6701, EN 9100 & MDR ready

LoRaWAN sensors (LX-100 series), 8-channel gateways (GW-8 / GW-8 Pro), and three specialized apps for industrial adhesive processing in Switzerland, Eastern Switzerland, and Liechtenstein: KlebeDoku for guided process and batch documentation at the bonding station, BAT Cloud for real-time environmental monitoring with an interactive floor plan, and the mobile LoRaWAN Dashboard for smartphones and tablets.

B.A.T. Better Adhesive Tracking – BAT Cloud dashboard, interactive shop-floor map, KlebeDoku operator app, and mobile LoRaWAN dashboard

ONE SENSOR INFRASTRUCTURE · THREE ROLE APPS · AUDIT-PROOF

Process documentation, shop-floor monitoring, and wireless sensors from a single source.

A large proportion of industrial bonding failures are caused by unrecorded fluctuations in temperature, humidity, VOCs, or CO₂, as well as error-prone Excel spreadsheets and paper logs. The system from B.A.T. (Better Adhesive Tracking, Made in Germany) solves this problem with an end-to-end platform featuring three role-specific frontends on a shared database: KlebeDoku for operators and auditors directly at the bonding cell, BAT Cloud (Track’n Trace) for quality management and site managers at their desk, and the mobile LoRaWAN Dashboard for commissioning and on-call service.

The matching LoRaWAN sensors of the LX-100 series (7 variants, up to 5–10 years battery life) and the GW-8 / GW-8 Pro gateways (up to 2,000 sensors, 30-day offline buffer, PoE+ / LTE failover) transmit in the license-free 868 MHz band completely independently of your internal corporate IT network. All entries are cryptographically chained, logged in compliance with DIN 2304 (S1–S4), DIN 6701, EN 9100, and FDA 21 CFR Part 11 / MDR, and archived in GDPR / ISO 27001 compliant cloud storage (or on-premise).

KlebeDoku operator app, BAT Cloud, mobile LoRaWAN Dashboard, plus LX-100 series sensors and GW-8 gateways at a glance.

01 / PROCESS DOCUMENTATION FOR OPERATORS & AUDITS

KlebeDoku (Operator App & PWA)

Offline-capable WebApp/PWA for tablets, smartphones, industrial scanners (Zebra / Honeywell), and PCs directly at the bonding workstation: guides operators from shift login via RFID/PIN through material and shelf-life scanning all the way to the digitally signed, cryptographically chained PDF audit report.

Standards & Audit
DIN 2304, DIN 6701, EN 9100, MDR
Material & Expiry Scan
1D barcode, QR & OCR (auto-lock)
Platform & API
Offline PWA, iOS/Android, REST API

FOR SELECTIONSpecify the number of bonding stations and users, required standards compliance (e.g. DIN 2304 S1–S4 / DIN 6701), and any ERP/MES integration needs.

Features & technical highlights
  • 4-step workflow (shift start to sign-off): Login via RFID card, badge scan, or PIN with automatic authorization check for assigned bonding stations and released adhesives, including shift handover (~3–5 min documentation effort per bond).
  • Multi-type scan & automatic expiry lock: Individual scanning for adhesive, primer, cleaner, activator, and booster via 1D barcode, QR code, or camera OCR; expired or unapproved material is automatically blocked (processing only possible with supervisor PIN override).
  • Inline environmental data & live push alerts: Combined with BAT Cloud, temperature, humidity, illuminance, VOC, and CO₂ are automatically written to the protocol while the batch is open – including instant push warnings if limits are breached.
  • Cryptographically chained audit trail (10 years): Every action (login, scan, PIN override, photo, note, voice memo, signature) is tamper-proof hashed with timestamp, user ID, and device ID, and exported as PDF/ZIP batch or via REST API to ERP/MES.

APPLICATION FIRST

What matters for system sizing.

Together we review your hall geometry, bonding workstations, and compliance requirements and put together your tailored package of KlebeDoku, BAT Cloud, and LX-100 sensors.

Discuss your application
  • Number of bonding stations, lines, storage rooms, and hall area (rule of thumb: 1 sensor per 500 m² / per bonding station)
  • Regulatory requirements (DIN 2304 S1–S4, DIN 6701, EN 9100, FDA 21 CFR Part 11 / MDR)
  • Required sensor variants (LX-100 to LX-160 for Temp./rH/Lux/PIR/Reed, VOC/CO₂, or 5G transport)
  • Desired IT integration (ISO 27001 Cloud or On-Premise, PoE+ or LTE gateway, REST API to ERP/MES)

The KlebeDoku workflow on the shop floor.

01 / SHIFT & MATERIAL

Log in & scan batch

Operator logs in via RFID, badge, or PIN and scans adhesive, primer, and cleaner via QR/barcode or OCR – including automatic shelf-life and project release verification.

02 / LIVE MONITORING

Bond with live climate data

While the batch is open, the assigned LX-100 sensor automatically writes temperature, humidity, light, VOC, and CO₂ into the protocol and sends push alerts if limits are exceeded.

03 / SIGN-OFF & AUDIT TRAIL

Sign & archive for 10 years

Complete the batch with a single click, optionally attach a photo or voice memo, and archive it as a cryptographically chained, digitally signed PDF protocol.

BEFORE YOUR INQUIRY

Ask specifically.
Decide with confidence.

How do KlebeDoku, BAT Cloud, and the LoRaWAN Dashboard work together?

All three applications access the same sensor infrastructure but are tailored to three distinct roles in your company: The mobile LoRaWAN Dashboard (Android/iOS) enables technicians to onboard sensors in 10 seconds via QR scan and check live values on the go. BAT Cloud (Track’n Trace) gives quality management and site leadership a comprehensive browser dashboard with an interactive floor plan, multi-stage escalation alarms, and automated PDF/CSV reports. The KlebeDoku App (WebApp/PWA) guides operators directly at the bonding station through shift login, material/expiry scanning, and standards-compliant logging – automatically linking every bond to the live environmental data from BAT Cloud.

Which standards (DIN 2304, DIN 6701, EN 9100, FDA / MDR) does KlebeDoku support?

KlebeDoku is designed from the ground up for regulated industries: it covers process, batch, and personnel documentation in accordance with DIN 2304 (classes S1 to S4) and DIN 6701 (railway vehicles) as well as EN 9100 (aerospace) and FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and MDR (medical devices). All actions are cryptographically chained with timestamp, user ID, and device ID so that manipulation is impossible and batches can be retrieved by auditors within seconds for up to 10 years.

Which metrics and ranges do the LX-100 sensors and GW-8 gateways offer?

Depending on the model, the LoRaWAN sensors of the LX-100 series (7 variants from LX-100 to LX-160, dimensions 142 × 20.6 × 14.6 mm) record temperature (±0.4 K), relative humidity (±2 % rH), illuminance (0–65,535 Lux), motion (PIR), and door/cabinet state (2 reed contacts) with approx. 5 years battery life. Industrial transmitters (e.g. Thermokon) are directly integrated for VOC and CO₂. A single 8-channel gateway (GW-8 Indoor or GW-8 Pro Outdoor IP67) penetrates 200–600 m of reinforced concrete in the 868 MHz band (up to 5,000 m² hall area), manages up to 2,000 sensors, and buffers data locally for up to 30 days in the event of an internet outage.

Does KlebeDoku work offline and can our ERP/MES be connected?

Yes. KlebeDoku operates as a Progressive Web App (PWA) on iOS, Android, Windows/macOS, and rugged industrial handhelds (Zebra, Honeywell), even in shop-floor zones without stable WiFi: protocols are cached locally and synchronized automatically once connectivity is restored. Via CSV import and the open REST API, production orders and adhesive master data can be imported from your ERP/MES and completed batch records written back automatically.

How does deployment with dropflow work in Switzerland, Eastern Switzerland, and Liechtenstein?

From our location in Widnau (St. Gallen Rhine Valley), we support you personally on site. A typical site with one gateway (PoE+ or standalone LTE cellular backhaul without touching your corporate network) and 5 to 15 sensors is installed and configured on the interactive floor plan within a few hours. Upon request, we also implement 5G/NB-IoT transport monitoring for refrigerated adhesives, white-labeling in your corporate design, or an on-premise installation.
