DRIVING DOWN OPERATIONAL COSTS
We will help you to maximise your organisation's Return on operational Assets (RooA). This means that we enable you to operate your assets as effectively and efficiently as possible, while also ensuring they are healthy and safe. In this way, you reduce your operational costs and risks, becoming far more profitable as a result.
We can achieve this through one or more of our six "smaRTE solutions" that have been built using a combination of our leading-edge, digital technologies and are focused around our "Real-Time Operational Excellence (RTE)" mantra.

smaRTE Stock
RFID-based stock accuracy, tracking, and tracing
Stock is the "lifeblood" asset of many industries. It's what generates revenue, but also incurs substantial operational costs and risks in the process of storing and moving it through the supply chain before it is sold. Optimal stock management is key to not only minimising these operational costs and risks but also to maximising the sales and overall client experience.
Our smaRTE Stock solution is powered by RFID. FLEX Digital is the leader when it comes to employing RFID technology to optimise your stock accuracy, while also enabling efficient tracking and tracing as it moves through the supply chain.
smaRTE Assets
Real-time, digital tracking, and monitoring of your operational assets
Many organisations are heavily invested in physical assets that are used in the operational environment to generate their revenue.
Examples
-
Buildings
-
Manufacturing plants
-
Operational equipment
-
Vehicles

Productivity, security, and lifespan of operational assets
It is vital to the long-term sustainability of your business that you optimise the productivity of your operational assets while ensuring their security, and extending their lifespan as much as possible. By achieving this, you can maximise investment in the assets and ultimately become more profitable.
FLEX Digital leverages various leading-edge, digital technologies (such as RFID, BLE, UWB, IoT, RPA, AI, and OT CyberSecurity) to assist you to maximise your return on your operational assets.
smaRTE Bots
Digital automation of time-consuming, repeatable processes
Every operational environment has numerous processes and tasks running simultaneously to successfully deliver the final product to the customer. These multiple processes are often complex, interlinking, and are heavily reliant on seamless integration between software systems and people to be successful.
People have limited time, energy, and concentration
The challenge is that people have limited time, energy, and concentration. Processes that repeat multiple times per day are data-intensive and require complex calculations that can be delivered through automated, digital software, called "Robotic Process Automation (RPA)".
Automating high-volume, repetitive, and time-consuming tasks
FLEX Digital provides RPA solutions to automate high-volume, repetitive, and time-consuming tasks. One software robot can do the work of 7 people – mimicking most human-computer interactions. This means that a software robot can carry out a ton of error-free, repetitive tasks at high volume and speed.
Free up your people to maximise productivity
An RPA solution can free up your people to focus on more valuable and creative tasks that will maximise their productivity, decrease the organisation's cost and improve the bottom line.
smaRTE Keys
Key access control, tracking, and auditability
Many businesses have critical assets that require physical keys to access them.
Examples
-
Vehicles
-
Machinery
-
Stock rooms
-
Chemical rooms
-
Plant rooms
-
Remote depots and sites.
If these keys are not managed properly, this creates numerous challenges and risks to the business.
Access to specific keys at specific times
Ensuring only authorised people have access to specific keys at specific times means that there is accountability, auditability, and security of the assets that the keys are protecting. In this way, you can protect and maximise the return on your assets that are critical to the success of your operations.
Smart key management
FLEX Digital is a market leader in smart key management, using a combination of innovative, digital technologies. We provide both intelligent key cabinet solutions and key management rooms to assist you with better management of your critical keys.
smaRTE Splice
Preventing Operational Technology (OT) cyberattacks
Up until recently, most cyberattacks have been focused on accessing data within the IT environment through various means and for various reasons. The OT environment has tended to remain separate from the IT environment - even employing independent communication infrastructure that focuses on local interaction between machines and the engineers that are operating them.
Convergence of IT and OT environments
There has been a drastic shift recently towards merging IT with OT, as the OT equipment becomes more intelligent and connected. This brings with it a major security risk to the business that traditional IT CyberSecurity solutions are not designed for. Even though IT systems are "air-gapped" and "ring-fenced" with firewalls etc, OT systems are now bridging this gap to IT and this creates vulnerabilities to both the IT environment and, even more concerningly, to the OT environment. If hackers can gain unauthorised access to certain OT equipment, this will not only result in loss of data and privacy, but major risks to production, company credibility, loss of income, and even human lives.
Our revolutionary OT Cybersecurity solution
FLEX Digital offers a proudly South African, revolutionary smaRTE Splice solution that is one of only four in the world that employs Artificial Intelligence. smaRTE Splice not only detects OT cyber attacks but also prevents them in real-time.
smaRTE Access
AI-automated facial and number plate recognition access control
The access control industry has seen minimal innovation over the past 20 years. While there have been advances in biometric identification, a complete disruption of how access control is delivered is required to keep ahead of the criminals who are finding clever ways around traditional access control thinking.
The human element
Most existing access systems still require humans (in most cases the security guard) to be the process and that becomes the biggest risk to any business. The access system should manage the process so that the human risks and related costs are minimised.
Seamless, automatic access control management
FLEX Digital offers another proudly South African, revolutionary access control solution that employs Artificial Intelligence (AI) to seamlessly and automatically manage the access of staff and visitors to your business's premises, as well as critical areas within your building.
Our all-in-one smaRTE solution
We are the first to automatically and seamlessly combine facial recognition, number plate recognition, speeding identification, and asset tracking in one solution. We also leverage this innovative technology in our smaRTE Assets and smaRTE Keys solutions.
