Automatic 100% load reliability

E-DENTIC has developed EPYO, a unique software solution that makes it possible to control each loading mission in real time and 100% to secure the docking process. The system is simple and reliable, and the installation is light and modular.

The EPYO application is installed on the operators' terminals and runs in the background, without impacting the operation of the client WMS application. When a forklift driver passes under a dock door fitted with a sensor, his terminal captures the signals emitted (via Bluetooth communication). The result is a very simple validation process:

After scanning a pallet, the operator passes through a dock door to load the pallet onto the truck. If the load corresponds to the right truck, it is automatically validated by EPYO and the operator can then scan another pallet. Otherwise, if the load is not on the right truck, the process is not validated and it is impossible for the operator to scan another pallet until the action is corrected.

Summary of the 4-step process:

→ Media playback
→ Passing through the platform door
→ Validation of passage via the connected platform in the WMS
→ Improved traceability

Connected loaders on-board terminal for forklift operators - E-DENTIC

Operators equipped with fixed on-board terminals on their forklift trucks, as well as from wireless barcode scanners. This ergonomic design contributes to reduce accidents and RSI caused by discomfort at work

Real-time gesture validation

Digitalisation of the quay for total reliability, 0 deviations

Simple deployment
and fast

A lightweight solution
and flexible

Process fluidity

"I read, I load, I'm validated".

Smart ergonomics

Optimised operator comfort

Positioned on either side of dock doors, Beacons reduce the volume of the process applied by forklift operators. Automated recording of the passage under the dock door replaces the scanning of the dock door during loading. 

In this way, the operator can concentrate solely on driving, following a simplified process:

  • Entering the pallet and reading the barcode
  •  Passing through the platform door
  • Validation of passage by dockside beacon, improved traceability

Positioned on either side of the dock doors, the Beacons enable better traceability of the flows operated by the forklift operators. By automatically recording the passage of forklift trucks under the dock doors, all loading can be validated reliably and in real time.

As a result, the operator can concentrate solely on driving, following a simplified process:

  • Entering the pallet and reading the barcode
  •  Passing through the platform door
  • Validation of passage by dockside beacon, improved traceability
  • Operators focused on driving Connectivity of loading gestures reduces accidents by preventing the use of terminals while driving. As forklift drivers do not have to keep track of their loads (thanks to beacons), they can concentrate solely on driving.
  • No movement outside the trolley: The connectivity of loading gestures helps to improve operator comfort. Throughout the process, forklift drivers remain correctly seated in their vehicles. This safety feature helps to prevent musculoskeletal pain caused by repeated twisting and parasitic movements, as well as reducing the impact of collisions between two forklift drivers (wearing of seatbelts, no driver leaning over, etc.).

Beacons can be used to improve the traceability of flows at the dock, and also to guarantee greater safety around the flow of forklift drivers in warehouses. The process-free nature of this technology (no scanning required at the dock) means that operators can concentrate solely on driving, which in turn ensures that traffic rules are properly applied on site.

Implementing dockside beacons enables a 3-step process (2 of which are self-managed by the dockside beacons):

  • Entering the pallet and reading the barcode 
  •  Passing through the platform door
  • Validation of passage by dockside beacon, improved traceability

Deploying the solution

Frequently asked questions about connected docks

What happens if the operator reaches the wrong platform?

Possibility of displaying an error popup and/or blocking the business application (unable to load another rack until the forklift driver enters the correct dock)

How long does it take operators to adopt the solution?

Quick to learn, simplified process

How long does a deployment take?

100% system operational within 3 months

Which operating systems are compatible with the solution?

Android

How long does it take to achieve ROI?

Calculated according to your performance indicators and operational needs

Should we integrate IT?

Yes, only for hardware network connectivity

They use connected gestures

DHL naturally chose E-DENTIC, which offers a global traceability solution, from terminals to connected gestures, via video tracking. What's special about our project is that we've merged Beacons with video across our entire preparation process.
