Every second matters in the logistics and warehousing world, which is rather a fast-paced one. But there is one aspect that many facility managers do not pay much attention to that can mute the productivity quietly and it is the door to the warehouse. The lack of efficiency due to failed doors has ripple effects on loading docks as well as the inventory flow and even on the morale of the employees. In Suzhou Oredy Intelligent Door Control Co., Ltd., we know that your door is not a mere entrance, it is a strategic asset. The following are five distinct reasons that your existing door system is dragging your operation behind and how smart upgrades can get it moving again.
Sign 1: Constant Traffic Congestion at the Loading Dock
When there is a large number of trucks and forklifts waiting to enter or to leave due to the slow opening or closing of doors, then your operation is bleeding time. The delay of the supply chain is caused by slow-moving doors that are a bottleneck to the whole supply chain rhythm. Drivers are impatient, schedule is lost, and your Team is not able to meet shipping deadlines. This traffic jam is usually as a result of the old motors or poor control systems that are unable to match with the traffic requirements.

Our systems will make sure that vehicles and materials flow smoothly between our systems with a fast cycle of opening and closing and will turn your dock into a model of efficiency.
Sign 2: Energy Bills That Keep Climbing
The climate control of warehouses is costly and a bad performing door is similar to leaving a window open throughout the year. Slow or poorly sealed doors may be the culprits, should you find that your heating or cooling bills are on the increase yet you are using them all the time. Every time a door stays open, conditioned air is lost and it is replaced by external pollutants. This makes your HVAC system labored and it uses more energy. The smart door systems by Oredy have superior sealing technology and fast functionality in order to seal in temperature. Our doors also improve the minimization of air exchange, thus decreasing utility costs, but preserving a comfortable working environment of your workforce.

Sign 5: Excessive Noise That Disrupts Focus
The noise level in warehouses is already high, so the loud cluttering and grinding door is an unneeded distraction.
