Most warehouse operations managers are painfully aware of the high costs and productivity killers in their fork truck fleet operations. And perhaps the most detrimental warehouse problem is keeping and maintaining accurate inventory counts. Too often warehouse managers find that despite elaborate warehouse management systems, it is not unusual for pallets to go missing. Each year, imprecise warehouse inventory issues cost employers hundreds of millions of dollars in lost goods, and a staggering number of man hours associated with locating lost inventory.
Sky-Trax Inc. develops software solutions designed to address all of the costs associated with low efficiency, low productivity, lost inventory and safety. These costs represent a form of untapped profit that managers can free up for higher revenues, and competitive advantage. Imagine the difference –
- Reduce capital expenses by 10% or more by right sizing your fleet and improved management of your assets.
- Having complete real time visibility of where each asset is and what it is doing allows managers to retrieve rich, reliable audit data that includes what each truck has done, where it has been, what its utility is. The data is then translated and displayed in standard reports for analysis and optimization of operations. Finally, operations and indoor logistics managers have the data and tools they need to capitalize on the hidden profit within warehouse facilities.
With this data, Sky-Trax™ provides warehouse managers with the ability to more effectively match inventory needs with inventory assets – allowing for increased productivity and warehouse profitability. - Decrease operational costs by 30% or more with real time tracking of assets and inventory.
- Sky-Trax™ solutions enable warehouse managers to improve inventory accuracy by removing elements that are some of the leading causes of inaccurate inventory; like damaged floor labels, poor inventory controls, or inconsistent inventory reporting. Our solutions solve these problems by removing obstacles such as incorrect pallet location, miss-scans, and inaccurate data reports before they can create bad data.
As a result, Sky-Trax™ is able to ensure that pallet locations are properly scanned when an inventory action is taken; a pallet is picked or put- allowing for significant operational cost reductions and inventory accuracy improvements. - Remove dangerous conditions to achieve more efficient and productive operations.
- Sky-Trax™ Safety solutions include products that address specific safety concerns. Accidents and collisions can be avoided with the use of visual and auditory alerts that notify forklift operators and pedestrians of an impending collision and the creation of "safety zones" within the warehouse that activate controls such as gates and alerts. Data collected by Sky-Trax can also be used to provide real-time speed monitoring of every forklift within the warehouse, allow instant replay of actual forklift safety incidents with visualization tools and provide historical reporting of forklift activities such as speed, direction, time and inappropriate presence within defined safety zones.
The result – data collected by Sky-Trax™ solutions improve safety for overall operations. By definition safe warehouses are more productive, more efficient and substantially more profitable.
