Salvo DockMonitor Maximises Loading Dock Efficiency PR Newswire MUMBAI, October 3, 2012 MUMBAI, October 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- System Displays Real-time Site Performance and Individual Dock Statistics Industrial safety specialist Castell (www.castell.com) has developed a data-gathering and analysis device to maximise loading dock efficiency. Salvo™ DockMonitor combines the Salvo™ safety system, a data-gathering device and a live graphical interface running on a PC to display overall site performance or individual dock statistics. Photo: http://halmapr.com/castell/dockmonitor.jpg The system's report function generates graphical reports on dock use, loading times, idle times, shift-to-shift comparison and maintenance. This information can then be exported to a range of standard file formats for further review and analysis. Salvo™ DockMonitor has been designed to enable loading operations to run more efficiently by providing crucial information in real-time. Increasing efficiency at the loading dock cuts costs in terms of reducing the number of loading docks required in a facility and ensuring assets are used as economically as possible. Modern logistics is a high-pressure industry. Increased fuel costs, congestion, tight delivery schedules and safety are all issues facing distributors and manufacturers in a highly competitive market. When capacity is tight, the cost of installing an additional loading dock can run into tens of thousands of pounds.
