With Pozyx’s real-time location tracking, operators can quickly find Material Handling Equipment (MHE) like forklifts, tools, and inventory across large facilities. By leveraging accurate indoor and outdoor positioning, teams can reduce wasted time searching for assets and respond faster to operational needs. This improved visibility leads to:

  • Faster response times
  • Increased productivity
  • Streamlined workflows

By minimizing search times, Pozyx helps teams focus on core tasks, optimize equipment utilization, and reduce operational delays.

Optimizing the efficiency of every trip taken by your Material Handling Equipment (MHE) is key to reducing wear, energy use, and downtime. With Pozyx’s Trip Monitoring feature, you gain actionable insights to streamline routes and improve operations.

Pozyx’s Trip Monitoring tracks every movement of your MHE, capturing data on paths taken, stops made, and trip duration. This data helps you:

  • Optimize routes to reduce unnecessary travel
  • Lower wear and tear on equipment
  • Save fuel or power consumption

By enhancing trip efficiency, Pozyx extends the lifespan of your MHE and improves turnaround times for material handling tasks, contributing to more streamlined and cost-effective operations.

Efficient material flow depends on identifying and eliminating obstacles. Pozyx’s Path & Bottleneck Analysis helps you visualize congestion points and optimize traffic flow for smoother operations.

Pozyx’s Path & Bottleneck Analysis pinpoints areas of congestion and delays in your Material Handling Equipment (MHE) operations. By analyzing this data, you can:

  • Identify traffic bottlenecks
  • Adjust workflows to improve traffic flow
  • Streamline routes to reduce idle time

These insights lead to increased operational efficiency, smoother workflows, and faster throughput across your facility, ensuring that your equipment and personnel operate at peak performance.

Smooth dock operations rely on accurate tracking and precise coordination. Pozyx’s Dock Entry Detection ensures your equipment is in place when it’s needed most.

Pozyx’s Dock Entry Detection monitors when Material Handling Equipment (MHE) enters and exits docks, providing real-time alerts to optimize loading and unloading processes. These insights help to:

  • Ensure equipment is ready for timely shipments
  • Minimize dock congestion by coordinating dock usage
  • Optimize scheduling for efficient dock operations

By reducing delays and improving dock utilization, Pozyx keeps your shipment processing on schedule and your logistics running smoothly.

Automating routine processes boosts efficiency and safety. Pozyx’s Trigger-Based Automations streamline operations by initiating tasks based on real-time location data.

Pozyx’s Trigger-Based Automations use location-based triggers to automate routine processes, such as sending alerts when equipment enters restricted zones or starts specific tasks. These automations help:

  • Minimize human error by reducing manual intervention
  • Improve safety compliance with automated alerts
  • Optimize equipment usage by responding to real-time conditions

By automating key workflows, Pozyx enhances operational accuracy and ensures tasks are completed efficiently and safely.

Monitoring more than just location is crucial for safe and efficient operations. Pozyx’s Extended States feature leverages asset tracking technologies to provide detailed insights into key equipment conditions, including load status, height, and more, ensuring safe and efficient material handling.

This powerful functionality tracks critical metrics, such as load status (full/empty) and height, to prevent mishaps like overloads or improper lifting.

By delivering real-time data, the system helps:

  • Avoid equipment damage by detecting overloads
  • Enhance safety by maintaining proper handling procedures
  • Improve load management to reduce loss or breakage

With immediate alerts for threshold breaches, Pozyx ensures materials are handled safely and efficiently.
