The loading dock is one of the most critical points in the process when it comes to warehouse and distribution efficiency. Every extra minute spent loading or unloading can ripple through the supply chain, creating delays and adding costs. That’s why UMD Automated Systems designs loading dock solutions that keep product moving and trailers turning faster than ever. Here are just a few of the ways our custom loading dock systems can improve efficiency and throughput in your loading dock, saving you time and money.
Faster Loading and Unloading
UMD’s automated loading and unloading systems are built to save time and money. By pre-conveying product to the dock before a truck even arrives, our systems ensure that loads are ready to go the moment a trailer backs in. This reduces downtime at the dock, shortens load and unload cycles, and maximizes productivity across your operation.
Flexible Loading Options
No two shipments are the same, and UMD’s systems are designed with flexibility in mind. Whether you need to build trailer loads according to a shipping manifest or bulk load, our equipment adapts to your needs. For tire manufacturers and distributors, our systems can even create stacks of varying heights for optimized loading, helping make the most of every cubic inch of trailer space.
Maximizing Trailer Utilization
Inefficient use of trailer space can drive up transportation costs. UMD’s automated systems are engineered for efficiency, ensuring every trailer is loaded to its full potential. The result is fewer trips, reduced freight spend, and an overall leaner supply chain.
Built-In Product Tracking
Accuracy is just as important as speed. That’s why UMD’s intelligent automation tracks the serial number of every tire as it moves through the system. This not only improves traceability and inventory control but also ensures each load aligns with customer requirements.
