Receive returns and production scrap
Bring customer returns, service returns, production scrap and recycling material into a defined intake process.
Reverse logistics
Move returned and waste batteries through a defined reverse flow.
Returns, production scrap and recycling material often arrive with incomplete information and different conditions. A clear process helps teams receive, review, separate and hand over batteries without losing the context needed for the next step.
Inside the reverse flow
Every return needs a clear route from receipt to onward handover.
Reverse logistics combines different sources, conditions and destinations. The process must make uncertainty visible before batteries are stored, consolidated or handed over.
Make the available battery information visible
Record what is known about the battery type, condition, damage, dimensions, weight, energy content and quantity.
Separate unclear and damaged cases
Keep batteries with unknown condition, visible damage or critical warning signs on a separately reviewed handling path.
Consolidate for the next responsible partner
Prepare the defined storage, collection, transport, disposal or recycling handover with the required information and documentation.
Keep the reverse flow auditable
Define ownership, status changes and exception handling so each battery can move through the process without losing context.
Start with the reverse-logistics challenge
The right packaging path starts with the real handling problem.
Whether the flow starts at a retailer, service center, production site or recycling partner, the operational challenge determines the appropriate packaging review.
Returns arrive without enough battery data
The battery type, UN number, energy content or previous use may be unknown. The intake process needs a way to hold and review the case before onward movement.
Damaged batteries cannot follow the standard route
Swelling, impact damage, leakage or other warning signs require a separately reviewed handling path and clear responsibility.
Waste and recycling streams contain different conditions
Used, defective, damaged and critically defective batteries may enter the same network but must not automatically share the same handling path.
Consolidation can lose context
Retailers, service centers, manufacturers, carriers and recycling partners need a shared view of status, ownership and required documents.
The Lokistix solution
LOKI-Pack gives reverse flows a defined packaging path.
LOKI-Pack is a reusable, modular dangerous-goods packaging platform for battery transport and storage. Its configuration is reviewed against the battery condition, available information, dimensions, weight, energy content, quantity and intended route.
- Standard For new and tested batteries when the required battery information and packaging route are available.
- Universal For applicable used, waste, recycling, prototype, damaged or defective flows that require a different reviewed packaging path.
- Safety For critically defective or high-risk cases requiring a separate review of condition, handling and approved packaging configuration.
Optional digital layer
Add LOKI-Track when the reverse flow needs digital context
LOKI-Track can connect packaging, assets, condition information, alerts, documents and guided handovers across the reverse-logistics network.
01
Asset identity
Connect the battery or packaging asset with its return and handover context.
02
Condition and alerts
Make approved condition data and relevant events visible to responsible teams.
03
Documents
Assign the documents required for the defined collection, storage or onward process.
04
Guided handovers
Support defined status changes and handover steps with digital workflow guidance.
