Supply chain backlogs can disrupt day-to-day life with delayed shipping times, increased freight pricing, and labor shortages. Because of all these external factors, freight carriers and distribution centers must consider all avenues to achieve maximum space utilization. Real-time measurement data on your pallets provide the necessary visibility to ensure that space is used efficiently to save on costs while ensuring on-time deliveries. Accurate data is critical for making informed decisions.

You rely heavily on efficient load planning in order to maximize space on your routes, which, in turn, helps you maximize profits. Sending out a partially empty truck due to poor load planning can be a major pain point. By using integrated data from dimensioning, weighing and scanning equipment, operators can see precise measurements for each object and optimize load planning for every pallet. A correctly planned shipment can save an operation up to 1,000 USD per shift.

Eliminate Lost or Damaged Freight

With any cross-dock facility, you face the risk of a customer disputing a back charge or filing a complaint for damaged freight. To solve this issue, capture an image as each pallet is dimensioned for more operational visibility. When a customer approaches with a damage claim or dispute, use this image data to help save you money and protect your company’s reputation. Not only can camera images resolve customer complaints, but they can also be used to track lost freight. You can identify the last known location of a pallet and see the visuals to assist in shipment tracking.

Minimize Downtime with Remote Diagnostics

System uptime is key to maintaining high throughput within your operation. Remote diagnostic capabilities allow for off-site technical support when needed. In times of labor shortages, it is critical to use employee time wisely. By keeping your equipment up and running, you can be sure to not waste valuable production time. This is crucial to helping you maximize uptime while keeping maintenance costs low.

Software that captures and merges dimensions, weight and pallet ID for a full data profile allows for quick, effective data tracking and transfer. Data can be seamlessly integrated with inventory management, invoicing and load planning software for improved space use in the warehouse and on the road.
