How Sky-Walker Enhances Your Logistics Process

In the logistics industry, effective planning, organising, controlling, and executing the movement of goods from start to finish is crucial. The process begins with the supply of raw materials, involves internal flow of goods and stock control, and ultimately reaches the end consumer. This sector is constantly on the move, placing a high emphasis on safety, security, and comfort. The image below illustrates the multitude of systems present in a smart warehouse, often resulting in a complex web of interconnected systems.

However, the logistics sector extends beyond the boundaries of the warehouse. Once a truck leaves the warehouse, the logistics process has only just begun. It is essential to consider the diverse range of locations, shipping methods, docking areas, and more. All building, security, and safety systems should ideally be centralised under our Sky-Walker control room, whether managed internally or externally. In cases where location-specific management interfaces are required in multiple locations, additional Sky-Walker clients can be deployed for daily monitoring and management of these systems.

Streamline Systems and Overcome Crisis Situations with Sky-Walker

The vast array of different system types often leads to control rooms or technical spaces where operators must navigate numerous interfaces and software packages. This demands extensive knowledge and training for each individual software package. Fortunately, our open platform, Sky-Walker, provides a seamless solution to this problem.



Our software platform excels at integrating subsystems from various vendors into a single, intuitive, and customisable user interface. Most subsystems found in warehouses, offices, multi-site logistics sites, and more can be consolidated under our three areas of expertise: comfort, safety, and security management. The result? Operators no longer require expertise in multiple interfaces, as they need only be trained in using Sky-Walker.

During emergencies, response times are accelerated, and evacuation times are reduced. This is especially beneficial for a sector characterised by large buildings and a significant workforce on the road or working within expansive warehouses and docks.

How Our Central Management Platform Addresses Logistics Challenges

The utilisation of Sky-Walker offers countless advantages to the logistics sector, far beyond what can be outlined here. However, let's explore some of the most crucial benefits:

• Sky-Walker provides a comprehensive overview of access control and closed-circuit television (CCTV) systems within your company. Any event such as door sensor activation, parking barrier movements, or window openings can trigger alarms. By linking these sensors with CCTV cameras, real-time insights can be obtained when alarms are triggered, enhancing security and burglary protection for buildings and warehouses.
• Unnecessary open doors lead to wasteful energy consumption, including heating, electricity, and cooling costs. Sky-Walker can be programmed to raise an alarm when abnormal situations occur, such as doors being left open longer than necessary or lights remaining on in unoccupied areas or rooms.
• Integration of the Geographic Information System (GIS) module allows for efficient tracking of transport methods. With Sky-Walker's detailed reporting system, this feature enables improved routing, resulting in time and cost savings.
• During evacuations, Sky-Walker guides users through pre-programmed workflows to ensure essential steps are followed to secure buildings and protect inhabitants. Even emergency services gain valuable insights about the situation, facilitating a coordinated response.
• By utilising electronic badges, Sky-Walker enables complete staff monitoring. This system allows for restricting access to specific areas for authorised personnel, and even temporary visitors can be tracked using the badge system, providing real-time location information.

Sky-Walker empowers the logistics sector with its comprehensive capabilities, simplifying operations, enhancing security, and improving overall efficiency.
