No drive-away
December 1st 2005 Flextronics Logistics has invested in Castell's driveaway prevention system, Salvo, to ensure high security, time-critical procedures at its supply and distribution hub in Ireland pose no threat to the wellbeing of warehouse staff.
Components from across Europe are stored at the hub before being despatched to a Dell assembly line. It is vital that the outbound process is accomplished in less than 10min. Failure would result in expensive downtime for Dell.
The breaking of security seals on inbound trailers and application of such seals to outbound trailers has to be witnessed by the driver and loading bay operative. Trailer doors must be opened a short distance from the edge of the bay, something that Salvo would normally prohibit.
A modification to Salvo's regular operating method saw the Susie lock, applied to the trailer's emergency airline coupling, interlocked with the dock leveller as well as the door. Drivers cannot depart while loading or unloading is taking place. More articles from Castell Safety International Ltd: |
