| Eurotunnel wins Innovation in Logistics Award 2007 Eurotunnel has received the Innovation in Logistics Award 2007 for its automatic check-in system for trucks. The award was presented at the International Transport and Logistics Exhibition in Paris (SITL, 27-29 March) for the innovative system used to record the hundreds of thousands of trucks which arrive at the terminals in Coquelles (France) and Folkestone (England). Eurotunnel introduced this automatic check-in system, used by more than 80% of its truck customers with a proven reliability. The system reduces the average transaction time to just 45 seconds for each truck. The equipment is made up of touch screens which offer information for drivers at check-in in nine European languages, automatic number plate readers and sensors which measure vehicle size. Eurotunnel won the award ahead of 19 other projects in the information systems category. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
