Why record loading?
Loading connects fabrication to delivery. Recording the actual assemblies on the truck helps the site understand what is on its way and allows the loading team to check for omissions before departure.
Loading procedure
- Create or select the truck for the delivery.
- Scan the assembly to be loaded.
- Check its identity and add it to the selected truck.
- Repeat for the remaining assemblies.
- Review the load and confirm departure.
Review the truck contents
Consult the assemblies associated with the truck, the project concerned, the related workflow and the truck status. Check that the selected truck matches the physical vehicle and delivery being prepared.
Use clear transport statuses
The logistical workflow can distinguish loading, loaded, in transit and arrived on site. Agree which physical action confirms each stage so the recorded status is meaningful to the teams.
Confirm receiving on site
At arrival, scan the delivered assemblies and compare them with the recorded load. A truck’s arrival and the receipt of every expected assembly are separate checks.
Coordinate workshop and site
A recorded load gives teams a shared view of the departure and the objects in transit. It also provides a reference for investigating a missing item or a partial delivery.
Good practice
Scan at the loading stage, group deliveries coherently by project or zone, check the list before departure and confirm the objects again when receiving them.
Connect departure and arrival
Truck loading is most useful when the same assembly identifiers are used at departure and on site. Keep loading records and receiving actions in the project workflow.
Frequently asked questions
How is an assembly added to a truck?
Select the appropriate truck, identify the assembly by its label and associate it with that load.
Why scan again on arrival?
Receiving confirms which objects actually reached the site and allows comparison with the departure record.
Is loading only relevant to transport?
No. It connects workshop preparation, transport status, receiving and the logistical history of the project.
