Monitoring the equipment and assets location
The system provides real-time monitoring of the location of equipment and goods with the help of tags. It improves the efficiency of forklifts and reduces the time required for operations within the warehouse.
Working hours and access level control
The system registers check-in and check-out time, localizes the personnel within specified areas and sends a message to the system manager in case of trespassing. The data may be stored on the server up to 10 years.
Transports collisions and cargo drops detection
In case of a collision or cargo drops the system delivers a notification to the system manager for an action to be taken immediately.
Voice communication between the personnel
Digital radio communication demonstrates stable performance within the logistics center wherever other systems malfunction. In addition to that, all conversations may be recorded.
Emergency notifications
The data transmission channel can be used either for emergency announcements, notifications, issuing warnings, necessary instructions or also for operating additional alarm devices such as: sirens, emergency lights, etc.
