Forklifts are an important and versatile tool in bulk material loading as they enable the loading of whole pallets, significantly improving the throughput time. But – like all manual processes – forklift operation is prone to inefficiencies and errors, if not integrated into a central Yard Management System like VAS.

VAS forklift integration optimizes your loading process and ensures less downtime and better overview over your pallet inventory.

More process reliability

VAS Terminal in forklift cab

The heart of the forklift integration: A VAS terminal installed directly in the cab provides the forklift operator with real-time information on what truck to load, the required material and pallet quantity – no driver-staff interaction and handling of loading papers necessary.

Weight checks

Checking the weight of the truck via connected weighbridges during loading ensures that the gross weight does not exceed the maximum permissible weight for the vehicle type.

Traceable material movements

What material was loaded on which truck in what quantity? The VAS forkflift integration makes your material movements traceable: Track both batches and paletts by scanning the QR-Code or recording the serial/production/lot numbers in VAS Yard Management.

Keep track of return / broken paletts

VAS enables a clear and transparent recording of delivered, returned and broken paletts due to the easy entry in the forklift terminal by the forklift operator for each delivery. With this a palett account for your partners can be easily established.

Your benefits at a glance

VAS enables you to keep track of your pallet inventory: Simply track outgoing and returning paletts and other inventory like anti-slip mats directly in the delivery – customer-specific and always up-to-date.

Digital data distribution and the absence of driver-staff interactions do not only make the process safer, but also lead to increased process efficiency and reduced loading times: The operator knows what material to load as soon as the truck arrives at the loading station.

Loading related Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) like loading time, loading volume and number of loadings can be automatically tracked. This data provides valuable insights into the process and reveals potential for optimization.

Did you remember to secure the load?

Checklists in VAS Yard Management are a useful reminder for safety-related processes, whether it is load securing or other measures. Using checklists ensures that no crucial step is missed and form the basis for thorough documentation.
