Transforming security and efficiency in warehousing and logistics
Innovative, end-to-end digitization of logistics and warehousing operations – integrating security, visitor management and freight handling operations – is making supply chains more resilient, and cutting losses. Maxxess integrated solutions provide a flexible and robust foundation for logistics operators looking to automate their processes.
With supply chains facing multiple pressures – from opportunist and organised crime, online fraud and cybersecurity risks, local labour shortages and global transportation disruption, to increasingly unpredictable extreme weather events – it’s never been more important for operators to combine higher security with greater resilience and efficiency
Warehousing and freight-forwarding operations sit at the heart of extended and sophisticated international networks, enabling the efficient movement of goods and materials across continents – via air, sea and road transportation – right down to the last mile.
But those networks are vulnerable, so the stability of supply chains, depends on building robust systems for tracking, oversight and control.
Maxxess technology provides the perfect platform for managing this complexity,and building-in resilience, by integrating key functions including security – access control, video, intruder, fire – with general building management systems, visitor management, and logistics software. Integration with Maxxess eFusion and eVisitor delivers a powerful unified foundation that allows everything to be managed from a single user interface.
Eliminating siloed systems allows everything to be monitored and controlled from one platform, giving new insight into risks and inefficiencies – from delays at entrances, to suspicious activity around loading bays, from health & safety hazards in storage areas to disputes.
Complete oversight of vehicle, people and goods, and comprehensive audit trails
The new generation of Maxxess digitised access control and visitor management solutions, integrated with tools such as video and network audio, is making it easy for logistics operators to automatically monitor, direct and analyse all arrivals, departures, and activity on site.
Seamless integration with wider security and core management systems, through eVisitor software, enables more efficient oversight of people, vehicles and goods and eliminates the losses that arise from inefficiency – losses commonly caused by error,dishonesty or simply excessive staffing costs incurred with poorly run warehouse operations.
Authorised vehicles, including delivery trucks, staff, contractor and guest cars, can now gain access automatically, and quickly, with ANPR linked to the eVisitor pre-booking system leveraging the simplicity of Outlook or a web browser. This can be also integrated with adaptive signposting directing drivers to the correct loading bay or parking space.
Vehicle arrival and departure times are logged, enabling easy traceability, audit trails and to meet compliance – all from the at-a-glance Maxxess dashboard or compressive reporting tools.
And wherever higher risk stock is handled – or for more secure areas, and bonded warehouses subject to Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) requirements – enhanced ID checks can be implemented as required, with authorised visitors presenting QR codes or ID verification depending on the security level.
Adaptability built in – meeting your future needs
Supply chains are undergoing accelerating change – as countries around the world implement new trade policies and respond to new pressures, and as consumer and business purchasing patterns change.
For warehouse and logistics operators this means increased pressure to remain agile, and to be competitive. Maxxess technology supports you with both, making it easy to upgrade or adapt security, safety and core operating systems at any stage.
With eFusion as your foundation platform you can quickly ad new devices and technologies – including edge AI cameras, deep-learning analytics, the emerging generation of IoT – with more than 60 leading technology vendors already available as off-the-shelf integrations.
And we are constantly searching out the best new tech, adding to the Maxxess ecosystem of technology partners that solve real-world security, safety and operational challenges.
Easy to adopt the latest smart tools, such as AI-powered video analytics.
Take pressure off security monitoring operations with proven AI-assisted video functions including object, loitering, and fall detection, density and overcrowding monitoring, heatmapping, and people counting – tools to help operate sites more securely and comply with safety legislation. Set automatic notifications to send alerts to security managers and staff on their mobile devices.
Integrate with leading VMS video management systems and video hardware.
Giving warehouse operators the widest choice of camera solutions for affordable and comprehensive coverage of key areas, internally, externally and in all lighting conditions – including challenging back-lit and darkness common in loading bays – your video system should provide enhanced, real-time situational awareness, allowing operations managers to see exactly what’s going on 24/7.
Impress customers with an efficient welcome every time
The Maxxess eVisitor visitor management solution takes pressure off your reception teams and makes it easier for customers and other visitors to gain access, and for your team to meet them efficiently the moment they arrive. It allows VIP guests to be welcomed by managers or offered a white-glove concierge service by reception staff.
Linking to your databases, and systems for managing contacts, Outlook and web browsers event scheduling, eVisitor streamlines the arrivals process and includes options to configure wayfinding information and providing QR codes for contactless access.
It can be set up to assign parking spaces, grant frictionless access, and automatically log guests onto your Wi-Fi network when required.
And the benefits needn’t be limited to your guests – staff, contractors and other approved visitors can experience the same efficient processes. And Maxxess solutions can be extended and adapted, with limitless options for streamlining and better securing your operations.
