Managing and tracking transport flow at event sites
Events often face congestion at entrances when multiple transports arrive simultaneously. It can become difficult to track transports. Events need reliable data to generate accurate reports and identify improvements for future operations. The goal was to manage and control logistics transports entering an event site.
Gates can be created and managed per event, define opening hours and capacity per timeslot, and require suppliers to register transports for specific slots when submitting production or supplier requests. Each request includes transport details and driver information. We introduced a pre-production environment, where transports can be assigned, moved and monitored to track the planning.
During showdays, gates can be managed through kanban, timeline, and list views displaying transport statuses. This makes it possible to track transports any moment and take actions. Gates can also be temporarily locked to redirect transports if necessary.
Impact
- Regulated transport flow and reduced congestion
- Provided real-time visibility of transports
- Enabled production teams to review and redistribute transport requests
- Collected transport data to support CO₂ emission calculations for events
