Automated Loading Documentation

It’s uncommon to find systems in production plants that combine the three different worlds smoothly. A project by WAGO and TTS-Automation shows exactly how providing an open control and protocol landscape can achieve this. This project combines the IT environment, process technology and logistics to implement an efficient, safe, well-documented loading processes.

TTS Automation and WAGO:

Intelligent industrial camera and WAGO IoT Box for loading documentation
Automation of the control and loading process for containers
WAGO controller used for documentation in compliance with data protection regulations

Never an Empty Truck!

This age-old adage of the logistics industry still guides today’s freight forwarders and logistics managers. Operating profitably has long depended on filling every last bit of empty space – not just gaps in the delivery schedule, but also any free space in every single truck. To optimize the material flow and shipping, many companies are already attempting to automate their business processes and support them with software applications. Nonetheless, the day-to-day in most logistics departments is still dominated by manual activities. Entering orders, scheduling shipments, monitoring transport routes and deliveries and providing delivery status information to customers: These processes are usually only partially automated – if at all.

In most cases, automating these processes makes sense, even just from an economic point of view; however, in many cases, the decision-makers are hesitant to invest. This decision often overlooks a crucial issue that may not be obvious at first: Incorrect vehicle loading can create significant risk, possibly with far-reaching legal consequences.

“Anyone who’s ever had to look a prosecutor in the eye when asked ‘What did you do to prevent this accident from happening?’ understands the importance of documenting transport safety once damage has occurred,” explains Thomas Striegel, CEO of TTS Automation GmbH.
