<p><span class="tf_a"><b>Synchronisation of Incoming and Outgoing Trucks with
In - Plant Traffic<br>
</b> <b> <br>
</b> The software solution <b>SyncroSupply</b> synchronises the incoming and
outgoing of trucks with the in-plant loading point capacities, as for example
slots, workers or fork lift trucks.<br>
<br>
Insufficient communication between external logistics ( suppliers and forwarders)
and in-plant logistics frequently causes an unbalanced utilisation of loading
points. This reinforces effects like long waiting periods for trucks (demurrage
claims), obstructions in the production process or lack of visibility concerning
loading capacities. <br>
<br>
<b>SyncroSupply</b> solves this deficit by providing a coordination platform
between internal and external logistics and harmonising the trucks' approach
to the plant accordingly.<strong><br>
</strong><br>
<b> SyncroSupply</b> creates an overall optimum from the following objectives:
<br>
<img src="img/pfeil.gif" width="7" height="11" vspace="2"> Ensuring the material
supply for the production <br>
<img src="img/pfeil.gif" width="7" height="11" vspace="2"> Reducing the number
of trucks in the plant to avoid traffic jams and obstructions <br>
<img src="img/pfeil.gif" width="7" height="11" vspace="2"> Shortening waiting
times for the trucks and thus reducing eventual demurrage claims <br>
<img src="img/pfeil.gif" width="7" height="11" vspace="2"> Harmonising the trucks
approach to the plant by adjustment to demand and capacities <br>

<img src="img/pfeil.gif" width="7" height="11" vspace="2"> Automated prioritising
of important incoming or outgoing deliveries <br>
<img src="img/pfeil.gif" width="7" height="11" vspace="2"> Avoiding investments
for additional infrastructure as for example more parking or <br>

<br>
<img src="img/pfeil.gif" width="7" height="11" vspace="2"> Coordination of external
and internal transport activities to the same loading points <br>
<br>

consists of three <br>
modules which may be used <br>
individually or in combination <br>
with each other: <br>
