Facilities with iDock Controls from Poweramp, McGuire or DLM can connect their loading docks to the cloud with myQ Dock Management and monitor their loading activity to improve operations.
Once connected to myQ, dock personnel can quickly view the real-time status of each dock, including current load times, equipment usage, and any safety alerts. Trailer or carrier information can even be assigned to each dock as a reference for reporting or analyzing specific carrier activity.
When events such as loading taking too long, doors left open, or truck restraints in bypass, text/email notifications can be sent to supervisors to take corrective action to improve efficiency and safety.
Every truck-at-dock session is recorded and can be reviewed at any time. All session information is combined into advanced overall reports for loading efficiency, dwell time, and dock usage that can be evaluated during selected date ranges.
Companies looking to reduce detention fees can login to myQ and lookup any past trailer activity to dispute scenarios such as why a trailer was at the dock much longer than what loading was. Otherwise, they can review total and average detention fees incurred by carrier or by dock to see where improvements could be made to reduce expenses.
Utilizing IoT technology with iDock Controls and myQ Dock Management will help any company enhance operational efficiency, reduce expenses, prioritize safety, and simplify maintenance at their loading docks.
