Warehousing & logistics

Keep operations moving.

Every yard, dock and fence line in one console: plates read at the entry points, aisles and exits checked on a schedule, unusual activity flagged after hours, and patrols that keep watch overnight. Vallaris installs it, and cameras where you need them.

Where it watches
  • Gates and entry points
  • Dock doors and yards
  • Fence lines
  • Aisles and exits inside

The challenge

Why a distribution site is hard to watch.

01

A big site, open all night

Acres of yard, long fence lines and dozens of dock doors, with trucks arriving at every hour.

02

Who came in, and when

When a load goes missing, finding the truck that was at the gate means hours of footage.

03

Blocked aisles and exits

Pallets left in an aisle or in front of an exit are a safety problem long before anyone notices.

A day with Vallaris

A day at a distribution center with Vallaris.

  1. 5:30 AM

    First trucks through the gate

    The gate camera reads each plate and the colour and type of each vehicle, so any of them can be found later.

  2. 10:05 AM

    An exit aisle blocked

    A scene check sees pallets in front of an emergency exit and raises an alarm for the shift lead.

  3. 4:00 PM

    Trucks counted in and out

    An Axis camera at the gate counts trucks and cars through the line, hour by hour.

  4. 1:26 AM

    Someone on the fence line

    SentryIQ looks at the picture first and lets it through: one person walking the inside of the fence, where nobody is usual at this hour.

  5. 3:00 AM

    Round 3 of 4: all clear

    Circitor checks the dock doors, the yard and the gate, with a picture from each checkpoint.

  6. 6:00 AM

    The morning report

    The night’s rounds, alarms and what was done, ready for the site manager at shift change.

What happened

A person in a dark jacket and cap walked along the inside of the north fence at 1:26 AM.

What I think

I think this is real and serious: the yard is closed and the person is inside the fence.

What Vallaris does

What Vallaris does at a distribution site.

Plates and vehicles

The SmartHub reads plates and the colour of each vehicle, and you can search them later by plate, colour or type.

A normal day, learned

SentryIQ learns what each camera usually sees and flags people or vehicles where nobody is usual.

Blocked aisles and exits

A scene check looks at an aisle or exit on a schedule and raises an alarm when it is blocked.

Counts at the gate

Axis cameras count trucks, cars and people through a line or in an area, by hour and by day.

Rounds of the docks

Circitor checks dock doors and yards on every round, with a picture from each.

Questions

What distribution sites ask us.

Do we need new cameras?

No. Vallaris works with the Axis, Avigilon and other ONVIF cameras you already have. Where there are gaps, we install Axis cameras.

Can it read plates at the gate?

Yes. The SmartHub reads plates from the gate camera’s picture, and every vehicle can be searched later by plate, colour or type.

Will forklifts and trucks set off alarms all day?

No. Alarms follow the hours you set, and SentryIQ looks at each detection first and lets through only what needs a person.

Can it watch for blocked exits?

Yes. A scene check looks at an exit or aisle on a schedule and raises an alarm when something is in the way.

Does IT have to open the firewall?

No. The SmartHub at each site only connects out, so no ports are opened and no firewall rules change.

See it on one of your sites.

Bring one building. We will show you the alarm, the patrol and the record it leaves.
