A Smarter Approach to Dock Communication
The iDock Alert Light Communication System offers a clear, reliable warning mechanism that bridges the communication gap between truck drivers and dock personnel. By enhancing visual signals at the loading dock, it ensures everyone involved is on the same page, significantly reducing the potential for mishaps.
Here’s how the iDock Alert works:
1. Initial Approach: As a truck nears the dock, the system’s exterior lights flash green. This signals the driver that they are approaching the correct position, while the interior lights are red, indicating that dock operations should not commence yet.
2. Dock Positioning: The dock attendant will proceed with the next steps once the truck is properly aligned at the dock. This includes opening the overhead door, securing the trailer with an optional vehicle restraint, and raising the leveler to meet the trailer.

3. Signal Transition: This is where the magic happens. The system’s advanced sensors automatically detect the truck's position and adjust the lights accordingly. The exterior light turns red, which clearly communicates to the driver that it’s not safe to move. At the same time, the interior light switches to green, signaling to the dock personnel that it’s safe to begin loading or unloading operations.
