Implementation of Rewista Gate Control automatic scanning gates
Client
Challenges
The customer was experiencing significant errors during the loading process, resulting in costly fines from retailers and additional expenses for redistributing incorrectly shipped pallets. These errors also had a knock-on effect on other operational aspects, such as scanning errors, additional time and costs associated with over-processing, and frustration among managers and operators.
Solution
- Automatic scanning gates:Equipping each loading ramp with self-scanning gates integrated with vision systems.
- Real-time monitoring:Enabling an online function that allows for the control of each loaded pallet, including “sandwich” pallets.
- Motion sensors:Installation of sensors that record the direction of load movement.
- Visual indicators:Use of large external and light curtains that signal correct or incorrect loading.
- Dashboard: Providing online access to all operations and their status in real time.
Results
The client gained a fully customized and scalable solution that had a positive impact on all aspects of its operations. The benefits were visible in terms of process automation, time and cost savings, and error minimization, which significantly increased the company’s competitiveness in the market.
Process automation
Eliminates the need for manual scanning and counting, reducing human error.
Saving time and costs
Reducing the time needed for loading operations, which translates into savings.
Minimizing errors
Real-time monitoring helped in immediate identification and correction of errors, avoiding additional costs.
