Independent monitoring of transportation of timber

Monitoring of timber shipmentsThis special solution was developed for better coordination of shipments and to increase the efficiency of timber transport logistics.  GX SOLUTIONS brings it to all companies who lack information about the timber shipment and handling. It is intended to all firms that need to track their vehicles, cargo, forest machines and mechanisms at work and want to keep track and control of the roadmap of their timber shipments.

GX LOGISTIC monitoring of timber GX LOGISTIC is useful for all companies that keep records of logs - continuous monitoring and evaluation of data on purchasing, handling, cutting, sales and stocks of logs in the wood processing plants. In general, it brings streamlining of fleet, transportation and traffic load operation. Moreover, mutual cooperation and all activities are absolutely transparent and verifiable.

What does monitoring of timber GX LOGISTIC provide?

Key information for timber buyers and processors

  • automation of shipments evaluation
  • logistics management and traffic control
    (eliminating the burden of access roads and citylogistics)
  • overview of the carriage state and utilization
  • overview of timber supply
  • guarantee of accurate results that you need
  • control of handling and distribution of timber
    - loading place
    - location of vehicles and their routing (distance, crossover points)
    - completion of carriage monitoring
    - more data on carraige needed
  • a reliable basis for invoicing and accounting of performance, cost control
    (km, pick-up and delivery points and the source and quality of the delivered timber...)

Important information for suppliers and carriers of timber

  • an absolute control and overview of all shipments
  • independent transport timber for more customers
  • optimization of the planning of transport routes
  • data protection and security only for a specific customer  
  • a comprehensive fleet monitoring with a possibility of fuel metering
  • electronic records of vehicle operation (activity log book) on-line

 

 


How does GPS monitoring of shipments of timber work?

The solution offers several options according to the needs of buyers of timber, or specific requirements of suppliers of timber. Vehicles are equipped with a silent control unit to obtain a comprehensive record of operation. The simplest option of check, for who the shipment is intended is the manual switch indicating the drive for a customer. The higher form is the mode console, on which the driver using 6 buttons chooses a specific plant, specific sawmill, customer. However, the most desired option is on-line connection of the dispatch center with the driver, for which GX LOGISTIC uses the terminal communication. Terminals take control of transport – distance and time course and also activity of the driver.

GX LOGISTIC is designed for every type of shipment, and in addition to monitoring of vehicles and individual shipments it also measures the fuel level in the tank and monitors fuel consumption and handling with fuel. It provides an overview of work of auxiliary devices (mode of measurement of speed, temperature, etc.) and specific monitoring of trailers. It ensures identification of drivers with the control of performance of activities, compliance with AETR and data for meal allowance in individual countries of transition and stay.

Added value of monitoring of transports of timber:

  • automatic registration of the service record with the measurement of fuel and vehicle tracking using GPS
  • proven system of fuel measurement and fueling control, consumption and any suspected fuel drops in different operations
  • solution designed for demanding operations in a difficult terrain (individual approach and proposed solution for each type of operation)
  • independently of each, surveillance of data and operational record from the tachograph and GPS location - two separate modules
  • remote management of the control unit in the vehicle
  • easy to use software applications for users
  • possibility of sending alarm events
  • flexible operation also in central operations
  • data transmission and their ONLINE processing via GPRS/GSM
  • record of individual drives of the vehicle with possible exports to the log book
  • significant savings after introduction of the system
  • comprehensive background of the system – development, production, installation, service – all “under one roof”          

 


Ensure GPS monitoring also for your shipments

Many processing plants and sawmills are obliged to monitor the place of loading, course of the transport of timber and to know the source of timber. Customers place an emphasis on maintaining quality, records and clear identification description of the raw material according to the European standards. Therefore many companies decided to establish and request from their supply chains of timber a provable delivery system and control of shipments of timber. One of the assumptions is that the raw material does not come from controversial sources. Leading companies in the field of wood processing industry already introduced the obligation of timber monitoring for their suppliers. In conjunction with the use of information systems they keep records of raw materials, continuously monitor and evaluate information on buying, selling, handling with timber and stocks in plants. They seek to make supplies and transport of timber more clear. Suppliers must accept determined conditions if they want to continue working together. These measures relate for example to the cellulose and paper company Mondi SCP, a.s., Biocel Paskov, a.s, Czech Republic. This system is also actively used by Mayr-Meinhof Holz Paskov, s.r.o., or the sawmill Štětí.  

The company GX SOLUTIONS, a.s. actively cooperates with the company Nezávislá přejímka, s.r.o., which provides selected information from the monitoring of shipments of the company Mayr-Melnhof Holz Paskov, s.r.o. Also with the company Mondi SCP, whose monitoring system GX LOGISTIC makes accessible selected information from shipments of timber from all supply companies.
