Transport Coordination
Material and Logistics
Automatically determine required transport activities based on stock levels and production requirements.
Streamline your transports to enable cost savings
Automatically trigger transport activities based on clearly defined rules. Transport requests are dynamically routed to the best suited operators or AGVs in real-time. Operators are provided with all necessary information, including the source, destination, quantity, and deadline. Existing IT systems can be connected to the app to automatically sync all information in real time.
Decreased Stock Levels
Coordinate just-in-time deliveries and reduce buffer inventories -- less stock sitting, more flow on the shop floor
Shorter Transport Times
Digitize transport handoffs and remove delays in material movement -- ensuring the right part arrives at the right place, faster
Optimal Use of Capacity
Balance transport demand and resource availability in real time
Define types of transport
Register your transport types from AGV, forklift to crane and map them to automated tasks. When a transport demand occurs, the app automatically aligns the demand with the correct type of transport.
Issue transport requests from workflows
Automatically generate transport requests from any workflow based on freely defined criteria. The Transport Coordination App ensures that all requests are fulfilled in the given time by using a dynamic task assignment and escalation logic.
Automatically update your IT systems
The Transport Coordination App can send commands to AGVs as in the same way as it instructs a logistics team. Any data generated from the conducted transport can be sent back to your connected IT system to update the stock levels.
Why use the Transport Coordination App?
Existing Processes
- Regular go-and-see activities to check if transports are required
- Unclear responsibilities for who is responsible for conducting transport request
- Information about a transport request incomplete or spread across different IT systems
With Workerbase
- Required transports automatically calculated and workers notified by the app
- Transport tasks automatically assigned to the most suitable worker based on criteria such as location and availability
- All information about the transport available to the driver as soon as he receives the task
