Logistics under control: from gate to production
In modern supply chains, any loss of visibility, time or control is a direct cost. Access management, freight planning, bulk loading and contractor safety are often spread across multiple systems, manual and error-prone. Equans Digital brings this together in a single integrated solution, specifically designed for industrial sites. With smart logistics technology, we optimise speed, safety and throughput capacity.
Our strength: in-depth knowledge of the logistics context
We understand logistics not as an abstract flow, but as an operational process that brings together place, time, people and infrastructure. We work with embedded technology (barriers, weighbridges, QR scanners, badges) and powerful software: LMS, ATV..
A logistics error is rarely digital. It is often a human or infrastructural bottleneck. We build systems that understand that.
Our domain expertise in logistics
- Industrial sites (bulk, chemicals, waste, agriculture, food)
- Distribution platforms & ports
- Yard management & transport management
- Contractor management and safety onboarding
- Bulk handling: weighing, loading, unloading procedures, recipe management
Who do we work for every day?
From technical management to strategic decision-making: every role has its own needs and goals. Yet they all strive for the same thing: greater insight, better control and more efficient working. Discover how we tailor digital solutions to your daily practice for each role.
HSE-Manager
Who wants to manage contractors safely.
Challenge:
"I have to guarantee the safety of contractors, but follow-up is fragmented, manual and often incomplete."
How we help:
With our logistics solutions, we digitise the entire contractor process: from prior registration to safety briefing and badge release. Via registration kiosks, QR scans or video modules, everything is traceable and complies with applicable regulations.
What you gain:
- Safer site management without extra paperwork
- Automatic checking of permits and certificates
- Less waiting time at the gate
- Complete audit trail for inspections or incident analysis
Logistics manager
That wants to increase throughput.
Challenge:
"Our throughput capacity needs to increase, but waiting times, misunderstandings and manual processes slow everything down."
How we help:
Our LMS system ensures a smooth flow of vehicles and goods. Registration, weighing, loading orders and release are automated, with real-time tracking. This allows you to increase efficiency without additional infrastructure.
What you gain:
- Less downtime on site
- Full traceability of incoming and outgoing flows
- Real-time insight into planning and status
- Clear communication with drivers and dispatch
Plant Manager
Who wants to reduce bottlenecks and waiting times.
Challenge:
"At peak times, everything gets clogged up. Our gates and loading zones are a bottleneck for the entire production process."
How we help:
We analyse the logistics flows around your site, identify bottlenecks and build a tailor-made system. Our solutions control barriers, weighbridges and loading zones based on real data and planning – fully integrated with your production flow.
What you gain:
- Less congestion around loading and unloading zones
- Better coordination between logistics and production
- Automated access and bulk handling
- Increased throughput with the same infrastructure
IT/OT-teams
Those fragmented systems need to be centralised.
Challenge:
"There are too many separate systems for access, planning, security and documentation. We want one central solution."
How we help:
Integrate LMS and ATV with existing ERP, WMS, PLC or access control systems via open standards. This creates a single manageable digital layer on top of your infrastructure – future-proof and scalable.
What you gain:
- A single centralised solution for access, planning and monitoring
- Reduced IT complexity and maintenance burden
- Integration with eCMR, badge platforms and other tools
- Fully scalable to other sites or departments
