Palletline has launched a £2m scanning system for its forklift truck fleet, which it said would eliminate inaccurate scans and speed up its freight sortation process.
Palleteyes has been designed to scan barcodes within 2m of a pallet and display information such as bay location for the driver.
At the same time, CCTV cameras record close-up and wide-angle videos of the pallet’s journey from unload to bay to reload, which Palletline said offered customers full visibility of their freight via a cloud-based portal.
The system also weighs each load and sounds an alarm to prevent drivers attempting to lift a pallet weighing more than 400kg above a height of 1.2m.
