RFID, Dock & Dispatch
Every pallet read on the way out, every truck loaded in plain sight.
Use cases
-
ReadingPallet read at the portal without stopping trafficAn RFID gantry over both lanes reads every pallet that passes. The read goes to the core and on to the WMS without stopping.
-
DockDock load checked against the truck manifestBefore the door closes, every pallet read at the bay is matched against the shipping list. A missing or swapped pallet shows on the dashboard before the truck leaves.
-
YardTruck identified at the entranceThe tag on the vehicle is read as it enters the yard. The dashboard shows which truck is arriving and when.
-
DockBay assigned to the arriving truckThe system assigns a free bay and highlights it on the dashboard, so the truck reverses to the right place.
