03.12.2025 -Das neue Positionspapier von Loady analysiert die aktuelle Situation mit fragmentierten Daten und zeigt auf, wie strukturierte Vorladerestriktionsdaten Prüfprozesse in der Chemie-, Futtermittel- und Lebensmittelindustrie verbessern können und wie sich damit Effizienz- und Nachhaltigkeitsgewinne erzielen lassen.
Loady strukturiert Vorladerestriktionen in einem chemisch und logistisch konsistenten Datenmodell. Jede Substanz wird durch CAS- und EC-Nummer, Synonyme und mehrsprachige Bezeichnungen eindeutig identifiziert. Regeln können auf Stoff- oder Gruppenebene definiert werden und geben klare Status zurück. Unternehmen pflegen ihre Restriktionen zentral in Loady und können bestehende Listen strukturiert importieren. Die Plattform bietet API-Schnittstellen zur Synchronisierung mit ERP- und QHSE-Systemen sowie Export-Funktionen. Der Einsatz strukturierter Vorladerestriktionsdaten reduziert manuelle Prüfaufwände um bis zu 80 %, vermeidet Ablehnungen durch valide Disposition und senkt CO₂-Emissionen durch weniger Mehrfachanfahrten und überflüssige Reinigungen.
Die Lösung wird auf drei Ebenen eingesetzt: Dispatcher, Verlader und Reinigungsbetriebe prüfen, ob Produktkombinationen zulässig und welche Reinigungsverfahren erforderlich sind. Spediteure und Verlader führen strukturierte Previous-Load-Restriction-Checks (ePLR) durch, indem sie bis zu fünf Vorladungen eingeben und sofort validierte Ergebnisse erhalten. Pilotkunden integrieren die ePLR-Logik in Transport- und Yard-Management-Systeme für automatische Prüfungen vor Disposition oder Torfreigabe.
Künftige Integration in elektronische Reinigungszertifikate
Loady arbeitet an der Integration der ePLR-Logik in elektronische Reinigungsnachweise wie das eECD von ECLIC oder Bulkvision-Zertifikate. Künftig könnten Reinigungszertifikate automatisch gegen gültige Vorladerestriktionen geprüft werden – die Reinigungsstation übermittelt Vorprodukt und Reinigungscode, Loady validiert die Angaben und vermerkt das Prüfergebnis direkt im Zertifikat.

White paper: Collaborative master data management in logistics
· According to SAP's official product strategy, SAP ECC will be discontinued by the end of 2027 at the latest; SAP S/4HANA is the strategic successor platform
· As part of this transformation, it makes particular sense to switch to a collaborative master data strategy at the same time
· According to users, the effort required to maintain master data is reduced by up to 40%.
Mannheim, October 28, 2025 —— With the white paper “Loady and SAPS/4HANA in the context of logistical master data and SAP BN4L,” Loady GmbH publishes a detailed analysis of a previously neglected challenge in digital logistics: maintaining logistical loading and unloading requirements. The document shows how companies can use Loady to close a central gap between ERP systems, transport management and operational logistics — and why this is the right time to switch to a collaborative master data strategy as part of the SAP S/4HANA transformation.
Currently, neither ERP nor network platforms offer a structured, validated solution for loading requirements. The majority of information is stored individually, without a mandatory structure, without versioning and without maintenance processes. Loady, on the other hand, as a SaaS solution (Software as a Service) enables data maintenance directly at the source, a standardized, multilingual data model and API-based integration into existing SAP and TMS environments. To this end, shippers, recipients of goods and external warehouse logistics maintain their loading requirements and transport-relevant data in Loady. The platform offers verification options and versions the data. Synchronization in SAP S/4HANA takes place via an API. TMS systems also access loady or synchronized data and the shipper always uses up-to-date and consolidated information.
Companies that integrate Loady into their SAP architecture report up to 40% less effort for master data maintenance and significantly reduced queries in transport processing. “Collaborative platform approaches form the basis for resilient, automated supply chains. Because automating logistics doesn't start with the algorithm — it starts with the quality of master data,” says Stefanie Kraus, CEO of Loady GmbH.

SRS EcoTherm Thermal Waste Treatment Plant is the first to use digital driver training via QR Code in 13 languages
Mannheim and Salzbergen, Germany, 2025, October 13th
The SRS EcoTherm Thermal Waste Treatment Plant in Salzbergen is breaking new ground in driver communication: It is the first plant of its kind to offer digital instructions in currently 13 languages. The aim is to overcome language barriers that are increasing increasingly due to the Europe-wide shortage of drivers and international driver deployment — and thus significantly increase safety and efficiency at the location.
With QR codes right at the factory gate, drivers receive easy-to-understand step-by-step instructions on a smartphone. The content combines text, images and pictograms and guides you through all relevant applications: from the delivery of garbage, white lime or ammonia water to the collection of residual materials or slag. As well as practical processes, the digital sliders also contain clear safety instructions and emergency protocols.
“For years, we have increasingly seen that many drivers speak little or no German and often no English,” explains Markus Bünker, who is responsible for operating the TAS at SRS EcoTherm. “We had to send drivers away from time to time because instruction was simply not possible. With the new solution, we can now reach all drivers — regardless of their origin or language skills. In this way, we improve communication, reduce accident risks and ensure smoother processes.”

As an industrial plant in the CRITIS infrastructure, SRS EcoTherm takes its responsibilities and legal obligations very seriously. By making things easier to understand, they want to ensure that the driver is handling things correctly when delivering and collecting equipment and that his personal safety and that of the system's technology is not endangered. It is also about meeting the obligation to provide evidence of instructions. A direct connection to the system at the scale or at the reception is therefore planned: In future, drivers should be recorded and only be given mandatory training if they are new to the site, have not worked there for a long time or relevant processes have changed.
“For us, digital instruction is more than a practical solution in everyday life — it is an important component of our digital strategy,” emphasizes Erwin Junker, operations manager at SRS EcoTherm. “We want to use innovation where it really makes a difference: for safety, efficiency and the people who work with us every day. The project is a good example of how we combine responsibility with modern technologies.”
Local employees are also increasingly hoping for relief: “We've known many of our drivers for years, communication is no problem and they know their way around here very well. But with the new ones, we are often hands-on and often have to accompany them in order to personally instruct them at the loading or unloading point. It always takes 20-30 minutes and is impossible without a common language — today, a quick scan is enough,” says Ralf Dehmel, employee at the weighing bridge. “Initial experience shows that Spanish drivers in particular are particularly open — they immediately pull out their smartphones, scan the code and follow the instructions.”

For the introduction of QR code-based, multilingual instructions, SRS EcoTherm has chosen a solution from Loady and shows how digitization can be used in a practical way: to increase safety, to relieve employees and as a clear answer to the challenges of the international driver market — while at the same time meeting the CRITIS requirements.
