Automated goods receipt and scanner-free hall - digital, image-based locating of packages and pallets

APF video+ locate

The era of locating with hand scanners is over, because APF video+ locate revolutionises the processes with innovative AI technology. Deposited packages and pallets are now recognised fully automatically, without manual scanning, based on image information and data matrix codes.

The new APF video+ locate solution enables largely automatic scanning of incoming goods. The targeted installation of specialised cameras in the entrance area and the modular design of the system also allow automatic side and front reading. In many cases, the work organisation does not have to be adjusted at all or only slightly. With the appropriate equipment, it is even possible to dispense with the hall inspection scan altogether, as detection is usually not a problem even in large halls. If cameras are also installed at the loading gates, the loading scan can also be automated.

The innovative locating solution makes a scanner-free hall possible, as well as a fully automated goods receipt.

The movements of pallets or packages are automatically tracked and registered by the integrated forklift tracking. Every movement of goods is thus tracked transparently and securely, without manual scanning.

Advantages
  • More cost-effective compared to existing locating solutions
  • Accurate package positioning compared to RTLS tracking, which only captures the position of the scanner, which can lead to technical inaccuracies
  • No scanning required during parking, saves labour costs
  • Automatic hall revision enables more frequent revisions and again saves personnel costs
  • Cyclical updating of positions without further scans makes it much easier to find individual packages
  • For packages with long storage intervals (e.g. sea freight), the position is always updated after a repositioning
  • Recording of forklift positions via QR codes on the roof
  • Automatic generation of "virtual scans" in case of position changes simplifies package tracking in the video system
  • Automated messages in case of misplaced packages
  • Recording of routes and travel times within the depot to optimise the positioning of relation points and loading and unloading gates
  • Display of the positions of each package for the optimal loading sequence when using tour optimisation
  • Possibility to combine with manual scanning, depending on requirements and preferences
Features
  • Tracking of packages without scanner
  • Automatic incoming goods scan and loading scan
  • Recognition of data matrix codes on five sides of the package with appropriate equipment
Integrated concept – the AMETRAS Plus

There is still more: Optimise your processes fully.

In conjunction with our APF video+ video solution, movements of packages in the hall are seamlessly documented.

By using APF video+, movements of pallets can be recorded with the help of forklifts or industrial trucks, which enables subsequent optimisation of the routes. This recorded data opens up the possibility for efficient readjustment of movement routes and processes.

Take advantage of the full process potential of your organisation and stay one step ahead of the competition.
