Plant Security SolutionsBecause safety is non negotiable

Plant Security is one of the few non-negotiable must haves for bulk material plants: Where trucks, heavy machinery and humans come into contact, drivers, visitors, service providers and plant staff must be aware of and strictly follow plant specific security regulations to avoid errors and grave accidents.

VAS offers a comprehensive set of plant security solutions that ensure secure processes from the yard entrance to the exit:

Ensure that visitors are aware of your safety regulations

  • Training anywhere, anytime: VAS SafetyFlow is optimized for all digital devices – visitors can either complete the training on your premises or on the go via the mobile application.
  • A questionnaire ensures that your safety regulations have not only been read but also understood. Upon passing the questionnaire, a digital training certificate, the SafetyQR, is issued.
  • Elevate your access control:  The SafetyQR is verified at every Check-In at the VAS terminal or by other third party systems – entry to the plant is only granted with a valid SafteyQR.

Full control: Centrally manage users and certificates

  • Holistic documentation: Get an overview over all registered users, view the status of their trainings (valid/expired/assigned) and manage users as needed: Send out or print the SafetyQR, set language preferences and manually revoke certificates.
  • Remind the users, when a certificate is about to expire – automatically or manually

Easy checklist creation: Mix and match existing modules

  • Keeping track over all To-Dos has never been so easy! Simply manage all To-Dos in a dedicated checklist category and build standard sets of questions for all your safety-related processes.
  • Create delivery specific checklists by combining different checklist categories via a simple drag-and-drop editor.
  • Overcome language barriers by providing your questions in different languages.
  • Assign your checklists to certain deliveries based on indiviually definable parameters like material, customer, and many more

The benefits of VAS Checklists

For complex and saftey-related processes that involve multiple steps, such as load securing or examining whether the truck is fit to drive, the yard operator can simply refer to the checklist – this ensures that no inspection steps are forgotten.

Complications can always arise during shipping – with the checklist, you can prove that the bulk material left your yard in perfect condition and properly secured.

Thanks to the checklists being web based, they and can be accessed with any browser, from any device – this allows for maximum mobility while working through the ckecklist.

WebCam integration

WebCams are a versatile tool for automation and documentation of various process steps and can be installed virtually anywhere in the plant. Because VAS Yard Management works hardware independent, any remote camera system can be integrated.

Possible areas of applicaton for WebCams are: 

Automated number Plate recognition can make your Check-In and Check-Out process even smoother: The driver is granted access to the yard through a fully automatic cross-check of the detected license plate with the information stored in VAS Yard Management.  This can either be used in combination with other methods of identification, such as RFID tags, printed QR codes or TANs, or to eliminate the need for complex identification systems for the vehicle and the associated delivery.

A similar process can also be implemented at the loading station.

Our solution for fully automatic license plate recognition: The tattile camera

Cameras can be used to monitor and document the condition of vehicle loading areas and to identify vehicles during loading. They detect damage or contamination, check the correct loading and ensure load safety. These measures are important for the preservation of evidence

The use of cameras in the sorting of bulk materials allows for the inspection and classification of materials. A separation by color, shape, size, or other specific characteristics helps to prevent incorrect loading, especially at outdoor loading points.

Monitoring conveyor belts and silos with cameras makes it possible to control the flow of materials and identify potential problems at an early stage. This helps to minimize disruptions to operations.

How can cameras be used in factories today, and what opportunities for further automation and optimization will technological advances open up? In our expert blog, we take a look at the use of cameras in the bulk solids industry.
