    The latest 4SIGHT Logistic Solution white paper explains how integrated yard and dock management systems will help warehouses, manufacturers, retailers, and distribution centers do more with less while realizing a return on investment (ROI) in as little as 12-24 months. These white papers can be downloaded at www.4sightsolution.com/industry-trends.
    Titled Doing More with Less: Yard and Dock Management From an ROI Perspective, the new 4SIGHT white paper is an important analysis for anyone faced with logistics problems in the yard or at the dock, including operational and labor costs, inefficient processes, and security.
    “Fundamental flaws in inefficiency lie at the core of many supply chain management problems facing facility managers and warehouse executives today,” said Eric Breen, director, commercial door and docking solutions, 4SIGHT. “This new white paper clearly addresses how an integrated yard and dock management system can ensure a timely ROI using what is often a misunderstood ‘less is more’ approach.”
    4SIGHT, part of the ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems portfolio, is the culmination of more than 60 years of experience in innovating loading dock equipment and specialty industrial doors to improve safety and efficiency of warehouse, manufacturing, retail, and distribution center customers.
    Voicing concerns about their own roadblocks and logistics challenges—and with no efficient way of resolving them—these customers expressed an interest in using technology readily available in their loading dock equipment, such as Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and other physical sensors, to improve productivity.
    4SIGHT leverages that experience into an operationally based approach to assist facilities in optimizing yard, loading dock, and warehouse logistics through real-time, automatic visibility, and productivity tools.
