Background:
Organisation of transport logistics is often a complicated process. It may be made simpler by a fully unattended process able to promptly respond to these situations that are a daily routine in the plant site. On a daily basis they deal with delayed traffic or unplanned arrivals of trucks, which create downtime and queues. As drivers come often from different countries, there is usually a language barrier between them and factory workers, which causes chaotic registration process. Drivers are unable to navigate themselves in the area and often wander off or come to other place of loading or unloading.
Requirements:
To simplify the process of transport logistics, it was necessary to replace the manual management system. Automation and optimisation of processes considerably saves time spent on manual transport planning (in practice by more than 80 %).
Expected arrivals of trucks
Minimising errors in planning transports
No waiting for loading and unloading of goods
Reduction of time spent in the plant site
Ensuring smooth traffic flow
Navigating trucks in the plant site
Easy communication for all drivers
Our custom-tailored solution:
Self-service check-in terminal to eliminate the chaos in drivers check-ins
Multilingual kiosk with intuitive control ensures simple and quick registration of drivers on arrival to the area by check-in via transport number.
The driver will have access to the Parcel Locker after successful registration, which contains lockers with devices.
There will be communication smart device ready for pick up from appropriate unlocked box.
Smart communication device for monitoring and guiding the movement in the site
The communication smart device with the option of language selection can continuously navigate the driver in the area to the point of unloading and loading of goods.
In addition to navigation, the driver can confirm the individual phases of the process of unloading and loading the goods in the device.
Upon leaving the area, the driver has to put the device to the appropriate box in the Parcel Locker.
Guiding lights and sensors to optimise loading and unloading
The truck's license plate is recognized by the camera on arrival and the ramp for entering the area is automatically opened.
Arrivals to individual docks for unloading and loading are regulated by traffic lights.
Each dock in the warehouse has a camera installed, which records the process of unloading and loading, while storing photos in the system for possible resolution of claims.
The loading and unloading process is controlled by a tablet operated by a warehouseman.
For warehouse staff there are information screens installed in the docks, on which they can monitor information about the current process.
Results:
The introduction of transport logistics system enabled to meet the expected requirements while improving processes in the plant. The result is a considerable saving of time and company resources.
Reduce loading and unloading time by 45%
Reduce staff workload by 20%
"Environmentally friendly solution and real-time information is a reality"
Paperless solution saves the environment and reduces paperwork to a minimum.
Unattended system can completely eliminate contact between employees and carriers.
Thanks to planning, the system can make an optimal use of resources, and with full statistics it is possible to evaluate and then continually streamline the transport logistics management process.
Do not waste your resources, let us show you how to save.
