Traka saves Tesco big bucks
United Kingdom
Traka will upgrade more than 2,200 forklifts at Tesco's 22 UK distribution centres, saving the supermarket giant GBP1 million (USD1.6 million) a year.
According to Logisticsmanager.com, each forklift driver will be issued a Traka IFob key, replacing the existing ignition key or PIN access pad.
Before the new system, forklift keys were collected and returned at the start and end of shifts, causing bottlenecks when accessing keys.
The new approach is reported to save two minutes per person per truck, saving about 80,000 hours a year, the equivalent of GBP1 million (USD1.6 million) in savings.
