Toyota Material Handling — automated trucks and fleet data
Transport orders to the automation controller; fleet and utilisation data read back
BizBloqs raises a transport request the moment the warehouse process needs one: a received pallet that has to go to bulk, a replenishment to a pick face, a finished pallet that has to reach the outbound dock before its cut-off. The request carries the source, the destination, the carrier identification and a priority derived from the order it serves — not a fixed FIFO queue. The Toyota automation controller accepts, queues or rejects it, then reports pick-up and drop as they happen, plus exceptions such as a blocked route or a load that is not where it was expected. Where T-Matics is in place, vehicle hours, throughput and utilisation can be read back so you can see whether the fleet is genuinely the bottleneck before buying another truck.
What you need
- Toyota automation (Autopilot) with its controller available for host integration
- An agreed map of pick-up and drop-off points, matched to BizBloqs locations
- Network access between the BizBloqs environment and the automation controller
- T-Matics access where fleet and utilisation data is in scope
- A named contact at Toyota Material Handling for the interface and the safety scope
