About
Henkel AG & Co. KGaA is globally active with leading innovations, brands, and technologies in three business areas: Adhesive Technologies, Beauty Care, and Laundry & Home Care.
Challenge
1. At Henkel, more than 700 trucks register daily to enter the factory premises – with only 82 waiting spaces available. Therefore, these spaces should be used for the shortest time possible, and drivers’ breaks should be minimized.
2. There is also a parking area at Henkel where decoupled traffic is managed – meaning empty and full trailers are parked without tractors to enable quick pickup of shipments without long waiting times. However, there was a lack of visibility regarding the occupancy of this area.
3. Additionally, there is a third large truck parking area on the factory premises: the waiting zone in front of the central warehouse of the Laundry & Home Care division, which has 50 waiting spaces and 22 ramps. Coordination with the high-bay warehouse is always required to, among other things, hold back additional trucks at registration when the waiting zone in front of the warehouse is already overloaded.
Solution
The dashboard is primarily used to monitor the current parking situation and analyze parking spaces. Additionally, the mobile TicketPilot app is frequently used at Henkel to address drivers directly when they have been parked in truck spaces for too long.
Smart City System provided exactly what we were looking for: a simple, browser-based application for all platforms that perfectly digitally replicates the logistics parking spaces and easily presents insights into the current conditions. Additionally, the installation can be carried out easily and in a decentralized manner, without the need for any special infrastructure work.
