Yard, Logistics & Compounds — forklifts, docks and finished vehicles

Between the inbound dock and the finished-vehicle compound sit the site’s busiest vehicle movements and its highest-value unsecured stock. Fogsphere detects conflict, congestion and movement outside plan.

Safety

Protect people where robots, presses, hot work and pedestrians share the same floor.

Security

Hold the perimeter, the gatehouse, the compounds and every restricted zone.

Operational Intelligence

Read line status, cycle time, bottlenecks and throughput from cameras already in place.

How Fogsphere sees a plant yard and compound

A live operations layer on top of the cameras already covering your lanes, docks, gates and finished-vehicle compounds.

Workplace transport

Forklifts, tuggers, AGVs and the people around them

Vehicle and person proximity

Vehicle-person proximity, AGV and person near-miss events and cart-person conflict at line-side.

Speed and routing

Speeding, wrong-way movement and pedestrian in a vehicle lane across plant, warehouse and yard.

Line-side pedestrian safety

Pedestrian in an AGV lane, line-side exclusion breach and aisle blockage in automated material-handling zones.

PPE in transport zones

Missing high-vis in the yard and PPE compliance by zone for drivers, banksmen and pedestrians.

Inbound logistics

Docks, trailers and the JIT/JIS window

Truck queue and dock dwell

Truck queue, dock dwell, trailer arrival and departure, wrong dock and unloading delay.

Line-side replenishment

Empty rack and bin detection, wrong container, line-side stockout and replenishment delay against the kanban lane.

Trailer and load security

Trailer door open, unauthorised loading, seal-check evidence where visible and trailer moved without dispatch authorisation.

Supplier SLA evidence

Timestamped dock events, part-delivery delays and line-stoppage evidence, organised by supplier and customer programme.

Finished-vehicle compounds

Bay occupancy, dispatch readiness and movement outside plan

Bay occupancy

Bay occupancy, vehicle dwell, movement history and vehicle present or absent verification across the compound.

Blocked lanes and dispatch queue

Blocked lanes, dispatch queue length and compound utilisation, reported live rather than from the previous day’s manifest.

Movement outside plan

Vehicle movement outside the authorised window, compound exit anomalies and vehicles missing from their bay.

End-of-line vehicle movement

Vehicle speed, wrong lane, pedestrian near a moving vehicle, unsafe parking and reversing risk during end-of-line and yard moves.

Yard and gate security

The gate, the fence and everything staged in between

Perimeter and fence line

Fence intrusion, loitering, climbing, after-hours movement and vehicle approach at compounds and yards.

Gatehouse access

ANPR and LPR, gate tailgating, unauthorised vehicles, queue and dwell monitoring and badge-to-video correlation.

Dock and loading-bay security

Dock door open outside plan, unauthorised person in a loading area, vehicle dwell anomalies and wrong trailer at dock.

Export and bonded movements

Zone access monitoring, vehicle handover evidence, compound exit correlation and container or trailer door events.
