Warehouse tracking system wins Industrial Product Award

Monday, 14 July, 2008

The Highly Commended Award for Australian Industrial Product of the Year has gone to Peacock Bros this year for its innovative indoor vehicle and product tracking solution.

The solution, recently deployed at EastPack in New Zealand, received the accolade due to the unique system developed to keep track of the exact position of indoor items such as a forklift, pallets or warehouse inventory.

The system includes a live schematic of a warehouse with the movements and positions of indoor vehicles and pallets displayed at all times. The solution also provides efficiency reports and evaluations on the vehicle operations within the warehouse for workplace improvements and analysis.

“We are very proud of this award as it acknowledges the work and investment that went into developing a world-class product offering far more benefits and return on investment than any warehouse management solution currently available,” said Neil Crump, managing director of Peacock Bros.
