Transshipment of goods with monitoring - Gdansk | Q&A with Dawid from Alfa Warehouses
Wondering what the safe handling of goods with monitoring from container to tarpaulin looks like in a transhipment warehouse?
At Alfa Warehouses, we not only ensure a smooth process, but also offer continuous monitoring of each ramp. See how this works in practice," says Dawid Masierak - Warehouse Office Manager at Alfa Warehouses.
What is the transhipment of goods from container to tarpaulin?
As standard, we start by unloading the container. The goods are then palletised and our team carries out the quantitative and qualitative verification - We count the pieces, check the condition of the packaging and compliance with the documentation. Everything takes place under the watchful eye of the cameras.
What challenges do you face in transshipment?
The most common difficulties are:
Lack of boarding - i.e. adequate protection of the goods inside the container.
Incomplete cover overlap - This is particularly important. The wrap must be complete so that the goods do not push the trailer apart and cause damage.
These are issues that can lengthen or hinder the handling process. It is therefore worth bearing them in mind as early as the loading stage.
Can the customer see how their goods are handled?
Yes! All transshipments are carried out under the watchful eye of cameras. Each ramp is covered by monitoring and the customer can receive:
Access to real-time preview,
Transshipment recordings,
Photo documentation of the hall.
This ensures that our customers know exactly, what their goods look like and how they are treated.
