Yard Management and Self‑Check‑in: ELOGATE in Everyday Plant Operations

In-plant logistics

The best way to see exactly what digital transport processes deliver is to observe them in action on a day‑to‑day basis. Bayerische Milchindustrie eG went to Salinen Austria in Ebensee to see this for themselves.

Together with the team from Bayerische Milchindustrie eG, we had the opportunity to visit Salinen Austria AG at its headquarters in Ebensee.

Whilst there, BMi was able to see for itself how smart and efficient our cloud-based transport management platform, ELOGATE, works in practice, and to discover the specific benefits that digital processes bring to day‑to‑day operations in the transport sector, massively simplifying and speeding up the work.

What could be seen at the plant

  • Self‑check‑in / self‑check‑out in the Yard Management module – contactless and safe for drivers and the plant
  • Time slot management – loading and unloading can be planned using fixed ‘time slots’
  • Digital transport order allocation – fast, transparent and traceable
  • Automated freight cost calculation – no more Excel chaos
  • Credit note processing – error-free, efficient and automated

These are just a few examples of successful digitalisation in industrial transport management.

A high‑bay warehouse made entirely of wood

As well as the enormous quantities of salt in the warehouses, the guests from Landshut were also impressed by the huge high‑bay warehouse, built entirely of wood. Why? Because metal would simply corrode away in the salty air. That is the spirit of innovation par excellence.

Many thanks to Salinen Austria AG in Ebensee for their time and the fascinating insights.

FAQ

Drivers check in and out of the factory premises themselves, without any personal contact with factory staff. This is contactless and safe for both parties.

Loading and unloading can be scheduled within fixed time slots. Instead of uncoordinated arrivals, there are allocated slots, which reduces peak periods and waiting times.

Freight costs are calculated automatically, without the need for separate Excel spreadsheets. The credit note process is also automated, making it error-free and efficient.
