What is Advanced Control Centre?


                    pro-
    Efficiently and pro-actively coordinate, monitor, control and
    manage vehicle traffic and products around the loading bays.

                                 web-
     An easily accessible, fully web-
     based solution

1. Dock Management


    Dock Management Remote vehicle reservation at
           Management:
    loading bays. Real-time information about the status of
    all loading bays.




                          How do you at the moment
                            see if a bay is in use?

1. Dock Management


    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.

2. Facility Management



Facility Management Real-time information about the
         Management:
status of all loading bays and the possibility to remotely
close doors or switch-off dock lights.




                              5
2. Facility Management


    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.

3. Service


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.

3. Service


    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.

                 Reporting:
    maintain, report and analyse a large number of variables
    concerning the loading bays.
