be closed and the loading bay clear of forklifts or personnel, before the vehicle can be unlocked and driven away. Rob Fay explains: “This logical sequence is simple, sequential and inescapable, streamlin- ing the process in terms of safety manage- ment. Yet the advanced data reporting ensures that warehouse co-ordinators can optimise loading bay planning for long-term efficiency.” The advantage that DockSafe provides over existing trailer isolation systems lies in the flexibility provided by the iFob. “Advances in technology have made it possible to introduce features impos- sible even a half-decade ago,” explains Robert Smith, managing director of Traka. “Personalised iFobs programmed to an individual driver’s access and authorisa- tion ensure that warehouses can record a
complete log of who did what and when.” In addition, the system is safeguarded to restrict access only to authorised person- nel. Since personnel data is electronically encoded onto each iFob, every driver must update access permissions every 24 hours – ensuring that a lost or stolen iFob will only be valid for a limited time. The uniform design of iFob, requiring no outward personalisation, also means that it can be quickly and cost-effectively replaced with minimal loss of uptime. Similarly, the Traka/Castell system is fully compatible with Easilift and Traka’s existing Dock Management System for Goods In applications, which has already been specified by Tesco for use across all of its UK distribution centres. n
