The Supply Chain Innovation of the Year (Smart Logistics) award was given in recognition of Hactl’s recently-introduced Smart Cargo Locating project, as decided by a panel of expert judges, who carefully considered all aspects of the shortlisted candidate projects.
Smart Cargo Locating is a Hactl-developed technological solution to the common problem of quickly and accurately locating loose cargo in major transit sheds. Combining 2D AR barcode labels, a unique self-developed indoor GPS system, cameras and wi-fi, Smart Cargo Locating instructs the forklift driver where to rack outsize loose cargo in the warehouse. Subsequent identification and retrieval are made easier and faster, with the aid of stored position information and photographic images transmitted to the forklift driver’s hand-held device.
