Anchoring efficiency: How Arise Ports enhanced safety and security on their premises
Arise Ports and Logistics is a leading infrastructure company in Africa, aiding in all types of logistical and port management solutions. One of their leading ports- Industrial terminal of San Pedro (TIPSP) is considered to be one of the largest ports in the western African region. The port manages 300,000+ Tons of cargo storage and 20,000+ tons of fertilizer storage, making this port one of the busiest areas in the city of San Pedro. Due to the heavy movement of nickel ore and other commodities, 24/7 security and visibility of operations was the key concern of the management.
Exhaustive flow of manpower, material, and automobiles
There are more than 1000 of trucks, and more than 5000 of persons entering the exiting the premises on a daily basis, all managed by manual paper trails.
- Increased chances of unauthorized vehicles entering the premises for material theft or other malpractices.
- Manual weighbridge operations increase chances of inaccurate data capturing, or intentionally tampering with the data.
- Lack of visibility of any truck’s turnaround time, allowing for authorized and unauthorized vehicles to stay within the premises for longer times and posing as a security threat.
- Vehicles entering and exiting the campus without completing the required processes, documentation, and weighment activities.
- Unable to flag or blacklist any persons for non-compliance or misbehavior.
- Poor network connectivity hampers operations.
- Commotion at entry and exit gates due badly managed traffic and vehicle movement.
