Complex Processes at the Intersection of Safety, Efficiency, and Tight Scheduling
The automotive industry is characterized by tightly scheduled supply chains, high safety requirements, and
a large number of external partners.
This results in specific challenges in visitor and facility management:
- A large number of suppliers, freight carriers, and external service providers with varying access rights
- Tightly scheduled delivery windows (just-in-time / just-in-sequence) with low tolerance for errors
- Security-critical production and development areas require strict access policies and security briefings
- Media discontinuities and manual processes in visitor and truck processing
- Lack of transparency regarding movements on the plant grounds and in the yard
- High personnel costs for plant security and reception
One-Stop Digital Management of Visitors, Vehicles, and Access
VISITOR MANAGEMENT
- Digital pre-registration of visitors and service providers, including automated approval processes
- Fast, on-site self-service check-ins to reduce the workload on reception and security staff
- Integration of safety briefings and NDA processes before entering sensitive areas
- Transparent tracking of all visitor movements for audits and compliance requirements
YARD MANAGEMENT
- Slot and time slot management to prevent congestion and wait times
- Digital registration and control of truck traffic, including prioritization of critical deliveries
- Real-time overview of vehicle movements in the yard for dispatching and plant logistics
- Integration with existing ERP, WMS, or production planning systems for synchronization with your supply chain
Optimized Plant Logistics and Transparent Visitor Processes in Mass Production
An automotive supplier with an international supply chain was facing enormous cost pressure and needed to reduce costs, which is why it sought to digitize its gatehouse to cut labor costs.
The Challenge
Unstructured truck arrivals led to wait times in the yard.
Visitors were registered using a significant amount of staff resources. Safety instructions were provided in the form of a paper handout, and coordinating with outside contractors was very time-consuming.
THE SOLUTION
Implementation of VISIT, including
- Digital Reception
- Centralized server installation
- Cross-location use
- Visitor counts available at the touch of a button
- Self-service registration
- Safety briefing
- Visitor badges in the corporate design
The result
- higher throughput in delivery traffic
- lower labor costs due to savings on gate staff
100% compliant – 0% paperwork
- GDPR-compliant
- Certified hosting environment (ISO 27001)
- Support for relevant norms and standards (IATF 16949, ISO 9001, TISAX)
- Integration with existing ERP or access control systems
