Tesco saves £1m with intelligent Traka forklift key
Working with leading UK retail supermarket giant Tesco, Traka is to improve the current key control and access management system for fork truck fleets in three new and 19 existing UK distribution centres. Initially, this will involve upgrading over 2,200 fork trucks at Tesco sites.
Previously, keys for fork trucks were collected and returned to the Traka cabinet at the beginning and end of each shift. However, Tesco identified that staff accessing the existing key management cabinets could create significant bottlenecks when gathering to collect or return keys. By adopting a new approach to key management, some two minutes per person, per truck, across all shifts has been saved.
