Vehicle Logistics Displays

A vehicle marshalling system helps control and direct HGVs, trailers, vans and other vehicles as they arrive, move around and leave an industrial or logistics site.

London Electronics can provide a complete customised solution using large LED information displays, alphanumeric message displays, traffic lights, warning lights, speed displays and control software, built around our proven industrial hardware.

Clear driver instructions and controlled vehicle routing can help make HGV movements safer and easier to manage.

Our vehicle management systems can combine large LED displays, traffic lights, warning lights, speed signs and bay information displays to tell drivers where to go, when to move, where to wait and when to leave.

Large vehicle marshalling displays can show drivers their vehicle registration together with the bay or destination they should proceed to.

London Electronics can provide highly visible alphanumeric displays positioned around the site so instructions remain clear without drivers needing to leave their vehicles or contact site personnel.

An HGV marshalling system controls the movement and routing of heavy goods vehicles around a warehouse, factory, distribution centre or logistics site.

Our systems can display vehicle registrations, loading bay numbers, destinations, instructions and status information, while traffic lights and warning equipment can control movements at key points.

A yard management system helps coordinate vehicles, loading bays, waiting areas and movements around a logistics or industrial yard.

London Electronics can provide the physical hardware layer that communicates this information directly to drivers, including LED displays, bay status indicators, traffic lights, speed displays and warning lights.

Traffic flow can be improved by giving drivers clear instructions at the points where decisions need to be made.

Our displays can direct vehicles to waiting areas, loading bays, weighbridges, collection points, exits and other destinations, reducing confusion and unnecessary vehicle movements.

A vehicle routing display can show each driver their registration number and assigned loading bay.

London Electronics alphanumeric LED displays can provide clear personalised instructions, making it immediately obvious which vehicle should proceed and where it needs to go.

Yes. Our alphanumeric LED displays can show letters and numbers, making them ideal for displaying vehicle registrations, trailer numbers, bay numbers and destinations.

The message format can be completely customised around the terminology used at your site.

Yes. Alphanumeric displays can show clear instructions such as PROCEED TO BAY 12, WAIT, HOLD, GO TO WEIGHBRIDGE, COLLECTION POINT 3 or EXIT VIA GATE 2.

The wording and display layout can be customised to suit your operation.

Yes. Traffic lights can form part of a wider vehicle marshalling and traffic management system.

Red, amber and green LED signals can provide simple Stop, Wait and Go instructions while alphanumeric displays provide more detailed information.

Yes. Warning lights, flashing beacons and other visual indicators can be incorporated wherever additional attention is required.

London Electronics can combine these with message displays and traffic lights to create a complete visual communication system around the site.

Yes. Speed displays and warning signs can be incorporated into the vehicle management system.

These can reinforce site speed limits and provide additional visual warnings in areas where vehicle and pedestrian safety is particularly important.

Yes. Where required, vehicle speed detection can be combined with high-visibility LED speed displays or warning messages.

This can provide drivers with immediate feedback about their speed as they travel around a warehouse, factory, logistics yard or industrial site.

Yes. A vehicle call-forward system can tell waiting drivers when they should proceed.

The instruction can be provided using a registration number, vehicle ID, traffic light or message such as PROCEED TO BAY 6.

An HGV call-forward system tells a waiting vehicle when and where it should proceed.

London Electronics can provide large LED displays showing vehicle registrations and destinations, allowing drivers to remain in their vehicles until they are called forward.

A vehicle queue management system can organise waiting vehicles and call them forward when a loading bay or destination becomes available.

Our displays provide the visible communication between the control system and driver, helping reduce unnecessary movements and confusion.

Yes. Vehicles can be held in a designated waiting or marshalling area and called forward when their assigned loading bay becomes available.

Large LED displays can show the vehicle registration and destination so the correct driver knows immediately when to move.

Yes. Clear outdoor LED displays allow instructions to be communicated directly to drivers while they remain in their vehicles.

This can reduce unnecessary walking around busy vehicle areas and reduce reliance on drivers reporting to a gatehouse simply to receive their next instruction.

Yes. Visual displays can replace many routine radio or telephone instructions with clear information visible to everyone who needs it.

This can simplify communication and reduce misunderstandings between gatehouse personnel, yard teams and drivers.

Yes. London Electronics can provide straightforward control software allowing gatehouse or logistics personnel to manage vehicle information and routing.

Our existing vehicle marshalling solutions have used PC-based control applications to allow site personnel to route vehicles and update displays as required.

Yes. Vehicle marshalling can be manually controlled, fully automated or use a combination of both.

Displays can receive information from existing software, PLCs, databases or site management systems, while manual control can remain available where required.

Yes. Where suitable interfaces or data are available, London Electronics can integrate displays and control hardware with existing logistics and site management systems.

The objective is normally to use information you already have rather than forcing operators to enter the same data twice.

Yes. Where the required data interface is available, vehicle and bay information can be taken from a Warehouse Management System and displayed to drivers and site personnel.

The exact integration is designed around the customer’s existing system and requirements.

Yes. A Transport Management System can provide useful vehicle, trailer, arrival, destination and dispatch information for a marshalling system.

London Electronics can develop the required interface where suitable access to that information is available.

Yes. Our industrial display ranges can interface with PLC and industrial automation systems.

Depending on the application, options can include Ethernet, TCP/IP, Modbus, Profinet, Profibus, EtherNet/IP and other industrial communications. London Electronics already supports a wide range of industrial network interfaces across its display hardware.

Yes. Wired and wireless communication options are available depending on the site.

London Electronics can provide solutions using technologies including Ethernet, Wi-Fi, radio and 4G, allowing the communication method to be selected around the yard layout and existing infrastructure.

Yes. Wireless communications can be particularly useful across large yards where installing new data cabling would be difficult or expensive.

Only suitable power and mounting may then be required at the display location, depending on the system design.

Yes. Multiple displays can be positioned at entrances, junctions, waiting areas, loading bays, weighbridges, collection points and exits.

Each display can provide information relevant to that location while forming part of the same overall vehicle management system.

Yes. Each display can be independently controlled.

For example, an entrance display might show initial instructions, a junction display could direct a vehicle left or right, and a loading bay display could show the vehicle registration, bay status or loading information.

Yes. London Electronics manufactures industrial alphanumeric LED displays capable of showing both letters and numbers.

Our TITAN range uses a modular construction and is designed for applications requiring customised alphanumeric information.

Yes. Character size and brightness can be selected according to the required viewing distance and environment.

Yes. Equipment can be specified for demanding industrial environments.

London Electronics has previously supplied vehicle marshalling displays for quarry applications where dust and outdoor conditions were significant considerations.

Yes. Depending on the display technology selected, colour can be used to make instructions and status information easier to understand.

For example, green can indicate proceed, amber can indicate wait or caution, and red can indicate stop or warning.

Yes. This is one of the strengths of a customised vehicle management system.

A traffic light can provide an immediate Stop/Go instruction while an alphanumeric display provides the detail, such as WAIT, BAY 14, REG AB12 CDE, WEIGHBRIDGE or EXIT.

Yes. Displays can show whether a loading bay is available, occupied, waiting, loading or unavailable.

The information can be presented using text, numbers, colours or traffic-light indications depending on what is clearest for the site.

Yes. Internal displays can show the same bay status information to warehouse, loading and logistics teams.

This gives both drivers outside and employees inside a common view of the current loading bay status.

Yes. Vehicle arrival, loading and dispatch information can be displayed where the required data is available.

Systems can be customised to show information such as registration, arrival time, bay number, destination, expected dispatch time and current status.

Yes. Vehicle marshalling displays can direct drivers to a weighbridge and subsequently route them to their next destination.

Instructions could include PROCEED TO WEIGHBRIDGE, WAIT, GO TO BAY 4 or EXIT SITE, depending on the process.

Yes. Vehicle marshalling is particularly useful at sites where drivers need clear routing and loading instructions.

London Electronics has supplied systems for quarry and aggregate applications, including vehicle routing displays and displays positioned around aggregate loading points.

Yes. Factories with regular HGV, trailer, delivery or collection movements can use vehicle marshalling systems to improve routing and communication.

The same system can coordinate entrances, waiting areas, loading bays, goods-in, dispatch areas and exits.

Yes. Distribution centres are an ideal application because large numbers of vehicles may need to be routed between entrances, holding areas and loading bays.

Displays provide immediate instructions without relying solely on paperwork, radios or verbal communication.

Yes. The underlying hardware can be configured for ports, freight terminals and other large vehicle-handling sites.

Large outdoor displays, traffic lights, warning lights and communications can be selected according to the distances and environmental conditions involved.

Clear and consistent driver instructions can support safer vehicle movements by reducing uncertainty about where vehicles should travel, wait and stop.

A London Electronics solution can combine routing displays, traffic lights, warning lights, speed displays and bay status information so important instructions are visible at the point where drivers need them.

Yes. Better routing and call-forward control can reduce unnecessary vehicle movements and prevent drivers travelling to loading areas before space is available.

Vehicles can remain in designated waiting areas until the system tells them where and when to proceed.

A well-designed marshalling system can help remove delays caused by unclear instructions, incorrect routing and unnecessary waiting.

By giving drivers their next destination clearly and immediately, vehicles can move through the site’s process more efficiently.

Yes. Where software is included, vehicle events and status changes can be logged according to the application’s requirements.

This can provide useful information for analysing vehicle movements, loading times, waiting times and site performance.

Yes. A customised system can record when a vehicle arrives, enters a waiting area, reaches a loading bay and leaves.

This data can then be used to identify excessive waiting times and operational bottlenecks.

Yes. Where the appropriate events are captured, the system can calculate how long vehicles spend at individual loading bays.

This can help operations teams identify differences between bays, shifts or processes and understand where delays are occurring.

Yes. Where reporting software forms part of the solution, operational reports can be generated from recorded vehicle and bay data.

Reports can be tailored around the information the customer actually needs, such as vehicle arrivals, dispatch times, waiting time, time on bay, loading duration and average bay turnaround time.

Yes. A software-based vehicle management solution can monitor defined time limits and generate alerts when required.

Depending on the project, alerts could be displayed locally or delivered electronically to relevant personnel.

Yes. Customisation is one of the main advantages of the London Electronics approach.

We design the system around your site, your terminology, your vehicle flow and your required information, rather than forcing your operation into a fixed off-the-shelf workflow. This is also how London Electronics describes its existing logistics bay management approach.

Not necessarily.

If you already have software that knows where vehicles need to go, London Electronics can potentially provide the display, signalling and hardware layer required to communicate that information around the site.

Alternatively, we can provide dedicated control software where a standalone solution is required.

Yes. Existing software or control systems can often be enhanced by adding large-format displays, traffic lights and other visual equipment.

This provides clear site-wide communication without necessarily replacing the customer’s existing management system.

Yes. London Electronics can design and manufacture a customised vehicle marshalling solution using our established industrial display and control hardware.

A system can combine alphanumeric LED displays, vehicle registration displays, traffic lights, warning lights, speed signs, bay status displays, radar systems, control software and industrial communications, depending on the site requirements.
