LoadOut Technologies has unveiled a mobile system that allows bulk material operators to use an Apple iPhone/iPod Touch to monitor and control the loading process.
According to the company, the LoadOut system was developed to improve safety and efficiency at material handling facilities.
Focus has been placed on sites that require one or more employees to control loading equipment at outbound commodity locations, LoadOut Technologies said.
This also applies to sites where the truck driver is expected to perform the process alone.
The LoadOut system is designed to be simple for people to use, allowing an operator to turn the system on as they arrive at the loading site, open the application, and visually monitor and control the process from their phone.
Encrypted access, human response timers, and a uniform control sequence are featured to help ensure an operator’s safety, LoadOut Technologies said.
