Enhancing Security at Logistic Facilities:
Comply to TAPA Regulations
– AUTOMATED GATE SYSTEM –
By meeting the requirements for the Transported Asset Protection Association (TAPA) certificate, you’re assured that your employees and goods are safe at all times. It is not without reason that many international companies require their logistics’ partner to have the correct TAPA certificate.
An Automated Gate System (AutoGate) plays a significant role in improving the security level of a logistics facility, and meets requirements of the TAPA regulations. TAPA regulations focus on preventing cargo theft and ensuring the security of the supply chain. Here’s how an Automated Gate can contribute to meeting these regulations:
Access Control
With the CERTUS Automated Gate you control who enters and exits your facility. This ensures that only authorized vehicles (trucks/vans/cars), visitors and personnel are allowed entry. Access can be granted through various means such as:
- Keycards
- Biometric authentication
- Pin code
- QR codes
- Facial recognition
- License Plate Recognition
- RFID
The CERTUS Autogate is a software solution which is supported by hardware (like a gate kiosk, traffic lights and speedgates amongst others) to manage traffic at the gate and ensure the highest security level. This reduces the risk of impostors attempting to access the facility.
Auditing and Reporting
The CERTUS Automated Gate keeps a detailed record of all vehicle entries and exits, along with corresponding timestamps. This audit trail can be valuable for investigations and compliance purposes, as it helps track who accessed the facility and when.
Remote Monitoring and Control
The CERTUS AutoGate system can be monitored and controlled remotely. This is particularly useful for security personnel who can oversee the gate operations and respond to any incidents from a centralized control tower.
The Automated gate also gives control over the exception handling process. Procedures for rejected trucks are implemented in our software. Any risk to unwanted visitors is minimized.
Integration with Logistics Software
The CERTUS AutoGate can be integrated with warehouse management software (WMS) or any other ERP or YMS. This integration enables seamless tracking of shipments, from entry to exit, ensuring that cargo remains within authorized areas and reducing the risk of theft or tampering.
Optimized gate process
Our consultants are happy to support you in optimizing your gate process and recording the different process flows for visitors, thus optimising your properties security. This means rejected or unauthorized visitors are handled in a way that doesn’t risk your companies’ security.
By implementing an automated gate system with robust security features, a logistic facility can significantly enhance its security measures to meet TAPA regulations. However, it’s important to note that while an automated gate is a crucial component, a holistic security strategy should include other measures like employee training, perimeter security, cybersecurity, and partnerships with local law enforcement agencies.
