In high-volume distribution environments, every second counts.

Forklift operators are expected to move fast—yet they’re still asked to pause, scan barcodes manually, and ensure outbound accuracy. This slows things down, introduces risk, and increases labor costs.

Portable Intelligence’s Vision Plus™ changes the game with autonomous barcode scanning at the dock—a solution built for speed, accuracy, and real-time visibility without disrupting forklift movement.

What Is Vision Plus™?

Vision Plus™ is a fixed-mount camera system installed near outbound dock doors that captures pallet barcodes automatically as forklifts load them onto trailers. It eliminates the need for manual scanning, giving drivers real-time feedback and ensuring that every pallet is tracked accurately—without ever hitting the brakes.

Whether you’re scanning for outbound shipments, finished goods receiving, or inventory transfers, Vision Plus integrates easily with your existing barcode formats and workflows.

Why Warehouses Need Automated Scanning at the Dock

Manual scanning slows down dock activity and increases the risk of errors—especially under pressure. With Vision Plus™, warehouses can:

• Avoid OTIF Penalties: Chargebacks for late or inaccurate shipments can reach 3% of shipment value. Automated scanning ensures accuracy and accountability.
• Reduce Human Error: Human data entry has an error rate of up to 1 in 300. Vision-based scanning is exponentially more reliable, reducing costly mistakes.
• Speed Up Shipments: Vision Plus can read barcodes while forklifts are in motion—up to 19 KPH (12 MPH)—with scan speeds between 5–100 milliseconds. That means more trucks loaded per shift.
• Protect Reputation: Accurate shipments improve your supplier scores and customer satisfaction ratings.

Key Features of Vision Plus™

• Autonomous Dock Scanning: No manual scanning required. Pallet barcodes are read instantly as forklifts drive by.
• Real-Time Driver Feedback: The system provides immediate confirmation if a pallet has been scanned correctly—no guesswork.
• Visual Proof of Shipment: Capture images of each pallet at the point of loading for full traceability and quality assurance.
• Easy Integration: Vision Plus works with your existing barcodes and warehouse systems, including Portable Intelligence’s RF Plus™ and TED™ platforms.
• Dock Door Metrics: Automatically track scan events, scan speeds, and trailer loading activity.
• Quick Installation: Vision Plus has a compact footprint and minimal setup time.

Built for Warehouse Speed and Accuracy

A single missed scan at the dock can lead to customer claims, missed shipments, or compliance failures. Vision Plus solves this without slowing down operations.

When paired with TED™ and RTLS, Portable Intelligence offers full visibility into:

• Task execution and worker movement
• Equipment usage and route optimization
• Real-time task reassignment and dock load balancing

It’s a connected system that not only scans but orchestrates smarter outbound processes—from pick to pack to load.
