Terminal and Distribution Center Operations


Overview

Terminal and Distribution Center Operations for Transportation and Logistics
With route management capabilities for your transportation operation, you can coordinate drivers to take the most efficient routes and match the best available loads with the best available trucks. Drivers also can be notified, via data or voice, about a new delivery destination, change in route, or emergency pickup.

And, when your drivers arrive at the terminal, you will know the exact contents of a shipment, where it should be loaded, unloaded and cross-docked, and be prepared to direct the movement of trailers efficiently from inbound to outbound docks.

Features and Benefits

Optimize routes with real-time dispatch and scheduling to cut fuel costs and increase productivity
  • Relay the most efficient routes based on distance, road patterns, and traffic barriers such as rush-hour traffic, weather and construction.
  • Identify excess idling, accurately schedule load pickups, and deploy the most appropriate truck to the closest customer.

Locate and effectively communicate with drivers, both at the depot and on the road, with rugged, multi-function devices
  • Ensure deliveries are on time with a quick phone call, e-mail or a GPS read when you use  mobile computers with all-in-one WAN/LAN/PAN connectivity, simultaneous voice and data, 3G world cell phone, and GPS functionality or when you use two-way radios with integrated voice and data, email, text messaging, GPS and dispatch capability.
  • Communicate critical vehicle data — from mileage and hours of service to arrival and departure times – with  vehicle-mounted computers with WWAN/WLAN connectivity, simultaneous voice and data, Bluetooth®, GPS and telematics support.

Empower your managers to coordinate freight sequencing and movement through the loading dock
  • Create a direct line of communication to dispatchers, drivers and freight handlers, allowing supervisors to be notified where shipments are and when they will arrive
  • Dynamically re-assign and transmit worker tasks to quickly adapt to changing load schedules, verify receipt of shipment and locate where shipments should be dispersed
  • Provide a total communication platform: a 3G world cell phone, bar code scanner, high-resolution color camera, GPS and 3G wireless WAN/LAN/PAN all in a single  MC75 3G Worldwide Enterprise Digital Assistant (EDA).

Know the exact contents of a shipment, where it should be loaded, unloaded, and cross-docked
  • Effectively communicate tasks, storage locations and routes on a large easy-to-read screen with vehicle-mounted computers
  • Give terminal and distribution center workers real-time viewing and verification during piece-level loading, unloading and cross-docking
