Flatorb Xeitiex (Pvt) Ltd

Operational automation for physical work

Flatorb Xeitiex (Pvt) Ltd presents itself as a technology firm that connects physical operations to dependable real-time information. Its solutions automate the recording and control of physical goods, equipment, production and logistics events. The company traces its beginnings to Washington DC in 2008 and opened an office in Sri Lanka in 2012. It says its engineering, automation, energy-saving and web application services serve organizations of all sizes, and that its solutions have been used in more than a hundred countries.

Warehouse and inventory control

The firm describes controls over receiving, put-away, locations, batches and serial numbers, along with picking, dispatch and cycle counts, all aimed at reliable operational data. It also describes multi-client inventory with dependable service and billing records, and customer-specific controls applied to receiving, storage, handling, fulfilment and reporting.

Asset and maintenance records

Flatorb links each asset's identity and whereabouts to whoever is responsible for it, along with audits, servicing and calibration, across multiple sites and teams. The aim is to make custody, condition and service history traceable, so that a business knows where each asset is and what has been done to it.

Manufacturing and container yards

In manufacturing, the firm records material drawn from stock, production in progress, what operators do, quality checks and how finished goods can be traced. In container yards and logistics it builds one operational history covering container location, survey, damage, approvals, workshop activity, electronic data interchange and billing inputs, from gate activity through to repair and billing.

Technology chosen for the process

Flatorb says it selects technology according to the process and the return on investment. Depending on the case, that may be RFID, barcode or QR codes, IoT sensors, GPS or AI. It describes a proprietary platform, OCTO Ops, which it may use where it is the right fit, without requiring a broad replacement of existing systems. Deployments can run standalone or integrated, and the firm prefers to start with one operation and expand once the value is proven.

The company says its mission is to provide technology solutions of high reliability and effectiveness at an economical cost, and its vision is to be the provider businesses turn to when others cannot offer a solution.
