Overview
Right Product. Right Amount. Right Time.
Dispatch for Loading is a module within Cat® Productivity that integrates with your scale house check-in software. It provides loader operators with a list of jobs by truck, material, and target payload - improving loadout accuracy and reducing truck waiting times in the yard.
Benefits
INCREASE EFFICIENCY
Monitor operations with a near real-time list of trucks in the yard waiting to be loaded and utilize daily performance data to identify areas for improvement.
IMPROVE SAFETY
Avoid falls from exiting vehicles, being injured by another vehicle, or being hit by falling materials, and prevent overloading, which creates unstable loads - increasing tip-over risk.
MAXIMIZE PROFITS
Reduce truck time in the yard due to incorrect payloads or materials, creating faster cycle times that allow more trucks to pass through the yard daily - maximizing revenue opportunities.
