Synchronisation of Incoming and Outgoing
Trucks with In - Plant Traffic
The software solution SyncroSupply synchronises the
incoming and outgoing of trucks with the in-plant loading point
capacities, as for example slots, workers or fork lift trucks.
Insufficient communication between external logistics ( suppliers
and forwarders) and in-plant logistics frequently causes an unbalanced
utilisation of loading points. This reinforces effects like long
waiting periods for trucks (demurrage claims), obstructions in the
production process or lack of visibility concerning loading capacities.
SyncroSupply solves this deficit by providing a coordination
platform between internal and external logistics and harmonising
the trucks' approach to the plant accordingly.
SyncroSupply creates an overall optimum from the following
objectives:
 Ensuring
the material supply for the production
Reducing
the number of trucks in the plant to avoid traffic jams and obstructions
Shortening
waiting times for the trucks and thus reducing eventual demurrage
claims
Harmonising
the trucks approach to the plant by adjustment to demand and capacities
of slots
Automated
prioritising of important incoming or outgoing deliveries
Avoiding
investments for additional infrastructure as for example more parking
or
buffer space
Coordination
of external and internal transport activities to the same loading
points
 SyncroSupply
consists of three
modules which may be used
individually or in combination
with each other:
Planning
OnlineControl
GateControl.
