The Advanced Control Centre provides 24/7 online monitoring, control, and management of vehicle traffic and product loading at bays. It has four modules: 1) Dock Management for remote vehicle reservation and bay status monitoring, 2) Facility Management for remote control of bay doors and lights, 3) Service for 24/7 monitoring of bay equipment and alerts, and 4) Statistics & Reporting for data analysis. The web-based system requires minimal hardware/software and provides benefits such as increased safety, efficiency, and reduced maintenance costs.

Business case
Example:
Working on safety together
One of the fastest growing and advanced retailers in Europe:
• Following the successful trial at one of the DCs, the retailer have decided to integrate
the Dock Control System into all its ”goods-in” bays across the network
• Increased safety by preventing premature departure of vehicles
Further improvements possible with the use of ACC by:
1. Full control of vehicles with dock management module
2. Identify available dock and make vehicle reservation
3. Detect a vehicle is at a dock
4. Identify the correct vehicle is at the correct dock (ACC in combination with Dock Control System)
• Improved efficiency and occupancy rates
• Reduced risk of errors
• Up to 20% savings on truck waiting times: Use Loading Systems Simulation Saving Sheet
We take care.

Business case
Example:
Improving the environment and reducing costs
Large warehouse for non-food products:
• Organisation feels strongly about the environment
• Warehouse is kept at +1/+12 degrees Celsius
• Located in an area where draught is common
• High level of energy wasted
• Loading Systems installed simple and maintenance-free air curtains
• Calculated ROI <2 years
Further improvements possible with the use of ACC by:
1. Measuring the average opening times of the equipment
2. Shorter duration of opening and less often
• Reduced energy loss and costs: Use Loading Systems Simulation Saving Sheet
• Detailed analysis of further improvements
We take care.

Service:
Service 24/7 monitoring of the loading bays. ACC can
inform the customer and/or Loading Systems on any
loading bay equipment breakdowns or operational
messages.

Business case
Example:
Shared measuring and reducing maintenance cost
Supermarket chain in The Netherlands:
• annual maintenance cost > € 100.000,-: 150 outdated industrial doors
• Proper maintenance by Loading Systems proven annual saving in 2010 of € 31.000,-
• Estimated annual maintenance cost in 2011: € 60.000. A total saving of 40%.
• In 32 of 33 incidents reaction time engineers matched the agreement to be on
location within 4 hours.
Further improvements possible with the use of ACC by:
1. Measuring the equipments uptime
2. Maintenance based on intensity of use instead of annual maintenance
3. Automatic messaging in the event of an error
4. Remote solving of errors. Faster response, less call outs
• High uptime of all your equipment
• Reduced maintenance costs
• Upfront visibility of costs and reduced overall costs
We take care.
