MANAGEMENT How Smart logistics management helps improve performance and safety

más rápidamente y ayudan a maximizar la eficiencia y el rendimiento. • Mejorar el seguimiento de mercancías y pedidos

Basado en la capacidad de crear un proceso de gestión de mercancías automatizado, seguro y totalmente rastreable. Esto respalda el flujo seguro de mercancías en un sitio (o en varios sitios) igualmente pueden escanear, rastrear y entregar mercancías de forma precisa y segura.

AUMENTAR LA SEGURIDAD DEL SITIO

Mejorar la protección perimetral que ofrecen secuencias de vídeo nítidas, incluso en entornos sin luz, detectar personas o vehículos no autorizados que ingresen al sitio y activar alertas automáticas para cualquier movimiento sospechoso.

OPTIMIZAR LA GESTIÓN DE FLOTAS

Con infraestructura que supervisan el interior de los vehículos y sus alrededores. Estos sistemas también cuentan con una poderosa plataforma para visualización en directo, reproducción de vídeo, ubicaciones de mapas GIS, supervisión del estado del dispositivo, verificación del consumo de combustible, supervisión de la calidad de los productos, alarmas de emergencia y más.

HOW SMART LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT HELPS IMPROVE PERFORMANCE AND SAFETY

All logistics companies try to maximize the performance and security of the supply chain. Smart logistics solution technologies can help with tools for optimized vehicle and dock management, end-to-end order tracking, fleet management, employee health and safety, and more.

The globalization of the supply chain, the burgeoning e-commerce market, and the growing demand for manufactured products have fueled the growth of the logistics industry. To take full advantage of this industry boom, logistics companies must optimize their performance and production, while tracking and securing many thousands of orders and deliveries every day.

But optimizing logistics operations is easier said than done. A major problem is that logistics company managers often lack the realtime information they need to make quick and accurate decisions. For example, they may not be able to see which facilities are having performance issues, which orders have been delayed and why, or which partners are not meeting their delivery SLAs.

STATE-OF-THE-ART LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS

To meet these and other challenges, more companies are turning to advanced technology for support. They are implementing the necessary equipment, applications, software and tools to gain better visibility and control of their logistics operations.

State-of-the-art logistics management solutions also make the global supply chain more customer-centric and sustainable. By automating logistics processes, for example, organizations can improve the productivity and efficiency of their workflows; increase transparency and traceability in its supply chains and maintain flexible and dynamic relationships with its stakeholders.

THE ROLE OF INTELLIGENT VIDEO IN LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT

A key technology for next-generation logistics management is intelligent video, an evolution of the cameras that companies have been using in their warehouses, distribution centers and yards for decades.

While traditional cameras were used only for security monitoring, intelligent video solutions employ artificial intelligence, machine learning, and other advanced technologies to increase efficiency, productivity, and even improve worker health and safety.

THE MAIN BENEFITS OF INTELLIGENT VIDEO

By making the decision to implement industry-leading intelligent video solutions as part of their logistics management environment, companies can: • Improve personnel management and health and safety

With artificial intelligence algorithms that automatically send alerts if employees are not wearing the required protective equipment, or if they approach dangerous machinery, for example. • Optimize the management of vehicles and loading docks

With dashboards that display the status of each loading dock in real time, allowing vehicles to load and unload faster and helping to maximize efficiency and performance. • Improve the tracking of goods and orders

Based on the ability to create an automated, secure and fully traceable merchandise management process. This supports the secure flow of goods across a site (or multiple sites) as well as being able to scan, track and deliver goods accurately and securely.

INCREASE SITE SECURITY

Enhance perimeter protection by delivering clear video streams, even in dark environments, detecting unauthorized people or vehicles entering the site, and triggering automatic alerts for any suspicious movement.

OPTIMIZE FLEET MANAGEMENT

With infrastructure that monitors the interior of vehicles and their surroundings. These systems also feature a powerful platform for live viewing, video playback, GIS map locations, device health monitoring, fuel consumption verification, product quality monitoring, emergency alarms and more.
