The problem
Manual vehicle registers are filled in inconsistently — plates are misread, timestamps are approximate and entries are missed during busy periods.
Manual identity checks create queues at the gate, delaying truck arrivals and extending dock dwell times.
Without automatic plate recognition, vehicles that should not be on site can enter unchallenged during busy periods.
When a theft or dispute occurs, tracing which vehicles were on site at a given time is time-consuming and often incomplete.
Overnight truck arrivals and collections are often self-managed with no accurate record of entry or exit times.
There is no automatic connection between a truck's gate entry time and the loading or unloading activity recorded at the dock.
What FlowLinks captures
Read and log number plates and licence plates for every vehicle entering or leaving the gate — regardless of time of day.
Record the precise time each vehicle entered and exited the facility, with camera ID and gate location.
Distinguish between trucks, vans, cars and other vehicle types to match activity with expected deliveries.
Alert security immediately when a vehicle not on the approved list attempts to enter the facility.
Search by plate, date, time or vehicle type to quickly find any entry or exit event in the historical record.
Connect gate entry times with dock loading records to build a complete picture of each truck's visit.
How it works
FlowLinks integrates with existing gate-facing CCTV or IP cameras. Camera angle and resolution are assessed during setup.
Add the plates of regular suppliers, staff and contracted carriers to the approved list for automatic recognition.
As vehicles approach the gate, the plate is read, timestamped and matched against the approved list in real time.
If a plate is not on the approved list, an alert is sent to the security or gate contact with plate number and snapshot.
All entries and exits are stored in a searchable log accessible from the dashboard, with export and API options.
