Real-Time Accuracy. Total Visibility. Zero Blind Spots.
In the fast-paced world of logistics, “close enough” isn’t good enough. From inaccurate stock counts to undetected pallet damage and expired inventory, traditional racking systems often leave you in the dark.
The dangers of not knowing your stock holding in Dynamic Storage solutions like Pallet Flow and Shuttle can lead to costly errors. Customers previously had no way of conducting accurate physical stock counts on these bulk storage blocks. Best estimates were used, and lanes were left open so customers could see how many pallets were stored.
Optima Storage Solutions, being one of the country’s leading System Integrators for Dynamic Storage Solutions, saw this industry problem and, through years of RnD have developed the revolutionary Smart Bulk Storage Monitoring System, PalleTrac! We’ve turned standard Pallet Flow and Shuttle racking into a live, data-driven environment that tells you exactly what is happening in your warehouse, the moment it happens.
The Technology Behind the Intelligence
Our system uses a sophisticated “Daisy Chain” hardware configuration designed for seamless scalability and reliability.
The Pallet Sensor
Discrete sensors are housed within protective bracing along the rack. Using advanced proximity technology, they detect pallet presence with surgical accuracy.
The Lane Controller
The “Brain” of the lane. It features a dual-microcontroller setup that processes sensor data locally and displays it on a front-facing screen for your floor staff. It simultaneously pushes that data to the cloud.
Scaling Up?
No problem. The system allows for unlimited daisy-chaining, making the system perfect for everything from small installations to massive distribution centres.
Your Warehouse in the Palm of Your Hand
All data is uploaded to our Cloud-Based Web Interface. Whether you are on the warehouse floor or halfway across the world, you can access:
- Real-time occupancy maps.
- System health and malfunction alerts.
- Detailed inventory reports.
Why Choose the Optima Solutions System?
Our hardware-integrated solution solves the three biggest headaches in warehouse management:
- 100% Accurate Live Stock Take: No more manual counting or guesswork. Know exactly how many pallets are in your racks at any given minute.
- Lane Obstruction Detection: Instantly identify “blocked lanes” caused by broken pallets or fallen products, preventing bottlenecks before they slow down your operation.
- Expiry & Freshness Tracking: Every pallet is timestamped upon entry, allowing you to monitor dwell time and manage stock rotation (FIFO) with digital precision.
