Truck and Trailer Identification

Record loads at weighbridges and track lorries through distribution centre and factory gates

SUPPLY CHAIN SYNCHRONISATION

Trailers

When supplies of components must be synchronised with assembly schedules, as in the automotive industry, supply chain visibility becomes a crtical issue. Similarly for the supply of fast moving consumer goods to retailers. Scirocco readers at the factory exit are a key element in the solution.

Pallets, cages and totes

Codeway Identification Systems cover product labelling, outer case, and tote identification and pallet labelling to GS1 and industrial standards with barcodes, Datamarix and RFID. These systems include shipment verifiaction with postive identification of all the items in a load linked to the Scirocco ID Tag on the trailer or truck.

FREIGHT AND BULK MATERIAL

Distribution Centres

Scirocco readers at the entrances and exits of a distribution centre continuously record arrivals and departures and control the gates. Additional readers track movements around the site, controlling fuelling, eliminate labour-intensive administrative tasks, and cut out the need to ride up and down looking a lost trailers. Results: improved fleet utilisation, less delays, lower operating costs.

Bulk material

Where bulk material must be weighed at the entrance to a plant, Scirocco systems enable immediate data recording and controlled access. Process control becomes more accurate and throughput can increase. 

With scales at entry and exit, the system is able to calculate the net weight of the material, check deliveries andshipments, and credit suppliers and debit customers. Typical products:

• petrochemicals
• concrete
• minerals
• wheat
• agricultural produce

GARBAGE AND RECYCLING

Common problems

1. Entry slow with queues of trucks outside the plant
2. Waste is wrongly handled with risks like dumping toxic material the incinerator
3. Incorrect billing

Codeway Scirocco solution

1. Readers at the plant exit read all driver and truck ID tags
2. The system links the tag numbers to the  collection schedule
3. Readers at the plant entrance automatically register all trucks as they are weighed.
4. The driver's ID tag opens the inside barrier to a specific tipping point.
5. Automatic identification simplifies administration, and eliminates error
6. The system provides fully traceability through a web portal
