ADVANCED LOAD ANALYTICS SOLUTION OVERVIEW

• Measuring Efficiency & Quality

– ~70% space utilized on trailers

– Manual trailer fullness monitoring

– Manual load quality monitoring

– Manual detection of hazardous work behaviors

– Manual scheduling (line haul mgt)

• TLA System

Real-Time Dashboard

Line-haul volume, quality, performance optimization

SMART PACKAGE SOLUTION OVERVIEW

• Sensing Objects of Interest – Packages

– Pallets

– Trailers

– Equipment

• Electronic Label (& other form factors) – 802.11 Std based

– Ultra Low Power & Disposable, Eco-friendly

– Read/Writeable for dynamic labeling

– Flexible, very low profile tag using: • Printed battery & electronics | System-in-Foil technology

• Printed barcode and serial number for provisioning

– Ability to sense: • Movement, vibration (accelerometer), presence

• Temperature, Humidity

• Toxic gases, Explosives

– Extremely easy to provision & use - Like postage stamps • Activation of Tag: Removing the tag from the roll or booklet, activates it for provisioning (IP Pending)

• Provisioning of Tag: Via WiFi from any mobile computer, smartphone app, or desktop

RFID RTLS CONCEPT Server-based Analytics Software

• Each tagged pallet within the facility is typically within

range of 3-4 overhead readers (based on reader per 3-

dock door configuration)

• Location analytics fuses multiple AOA estimations from all

readers to triangulate a more precise location estimation

• Location analytics fuses multiple location estimations over

time to further enhance the precision of location

estimation

Objective

• Track each pallet in real time

• Identify the door where pallets enter or leave from

• Locate pallets sitting in staging areas to better

than 4’ accuracy

Low-cost Reader Hardware

• Advanced Array Reader (AAR)

• 16 element, omni-directional phased array antenna

structure

• Digital beamforming enables advanced location techniques

Reader-based Core Location Technology

• Uses adaptive monopulse method for fast, accurate, Angle

of Arrival (AOA) estimations

DIMENSIONING SOLUTION OVERVIEW

Mobile Dimensioning:

• Hand-held box and pallet 3-D dimensioning solution

• Using newly emerging 3-D low-cost sensors and 3-D processing technology

• Robust measurement in a challenging environment (e.g. low-light, clutter)

• Exceeds the performance of RGB camera and label based solutions

• Creating new technology to dimension cuboid shaped boxes & pallets

• Extending technology to dimension irregular shaped boxes and pallets

• Applies to field workers (LTL, Delivery/Pickup etc.)

Dynamic Dimensioning (Fixed)

• Wall or ceiling mounted 3-D dimensioning solution

• Dimensioning mobile pallets (80% of freight) (i.e. a type of scan tunnel)

• Extending technology to dimension irregular shaped items (20%)

• Robust measurement in a challenging environment

• Applies to freight & parcel (x-Docking etc.)

HANDS-FREE COMPUTING FUTURE CONCEPT

Multiple Component System

• Create unified User Experience

• Streamline manageability (components/accessories/backroom)

Flexibility

• Right mix of solutions for the right job – tailored productivity

• A light architecture to build a flexible solution stack

• Variable mounting and deployment options

Adaptability

• Scales to adapt to a number of application needs

• System adapts to the mix and use scenario behavior

• Intelligent paring – connectivity (wired/wireless)

• Optimized for hybrid picking

Ergonomics

• Human performance is not burdened by technology

• Uninterrupted workflow/interactions

• Reduce operating fatigue

Enhance Productivity Workflow

• Smart Environment interacting with users

• Productivity Metrics – dashboard

HANDS-FREE COMPUTING FUTURE CONCEPT

Information when you need it - in appropriate task sequence

Information displayed as real-time overlay – augmented reality

Accessing information does not interrupt workflow – no stopping to check display
