How can you support the sector of logistics using the TIMATE system?

Implement TIMATE in warehouses

The system enables the monitoring of large warehouse spaces using a relatively small number of main units. The main units are fixed every 30 metres under the ceiling of storage facilities. Employees carry TIMATE cards which connect with the main units to send information to the system about the working time and the card location once every minute.

Record the working time of warehouse employees

The system enables planning of the working time or downloading schedules from external systems via the API. Schedules are provided automatically and displayed on the card screens to a large number of employees in different sections of the storage facility, facilitating shift work, night work and overtime processing. The system records effective working time (used for e.g. warehouse operations) and ineffective working time (e.g. cleaning the facility). All office workers and managers can also use TIMATE cards.

Assess and motivate your employees

TIMATE enables the association of the financial bonus with the employee assessment. The bonus depends on the evaluation in five areas: time and attendance, use of the working time, ensuring safety, task performance and achieved results. To determine the work results, a performance indicator is calculated on the basis of the number of warehouse operations per an effective hour. TIMATE can be integrated with systems such as WMS in order to download the information about warehouse operations via the API and present the assessment result on the employee card on a daily basis. A positive assessment can increase the motivational bonus.

A traditional system which requires the use of readers will not work in this case, because it will be difficult to install and use at every passage, dock or exit. With TIMATE you do not need readers, gates, turnstiles or cumbersome organisational procedures. TIMATE is a self-operating and automatic system that records the working time and prevents abuses.

Get savings by detecting downtime

TIMATE automatically detects and processes breaks at work, making sure employees take their required breaks. At the same time, it also indicates downtime which can be caused by errors in the work organisation (e.g. delays in goods delivery). The use of the working time can be optimized on an ongoing basis.

Use one card in multiple facilities

One card can operate in many logistics facilities under one company. In result, you can analyse and account for the time of moving between facilities and then optimize the workstations.

Enhance the employee safety level

Warehouses used in the logistics sector are huge. If an accident occurs, it is crucial to be able to locate the injured employee or the people who call for help. By pressing and holding the button on the card, employees can enable the SOS function and call for help. The card automatically detects falls and (thanks to the connection with the system) faints, i.e. no motion. Cards and central stations enable the monitoring of the working conditions in warehouses.

Evacuation drills

The TIMATE system is equipped with a mechanism that counts the number of people present in facilities on an ongoing basis. It is possible to track evacuation processes, e.g. to count people in facilities and at assembly points. Drills monitored by the TIMATE system are quicker and more effective, which reduces the costs. Additionally, reports that estimate the duration of the evacuation and other indicators are available.

Help managers manage their teams

The TIMATE system supports warehouse managers in the routine tasks related to the work organisation and task assignment. The system automatically evaluates direct reports of the manager and then makes an assessment of his or her managerial performance.
