Busy yards bring together trucks, trailers, forklifts, contractors, and visitors every hour of the day. One small lapse in procedure can lead to accidents, operational disruption, or regulatory issues.
At Peripass, we help logistics and supply-chain teams make their yards safer and more efficient. Over the years, we’ve seen what works when keeping people and assets safe. The most effective approach combines access control, gate automation, and real-time visibility.
Why access control matters
A yard is only as safe as its entry points. Traditional manual check-ins, clipboards, intercom calls, and ad-hoc badge checks are slow and error-prone. They also leave you with possible gaps in your records.
With integrated Access Control Systems (ACS), you define exactly who may enter, where they can go, and for how long. Drivers, subcontractors, and visitors check in digitally. Permissions are set in advance, so only authorised people and vehicles can enter restricted areas. Every movement is logged.
At Peripass, we integrate directly with your existing ACS or provide our plug-and-play PIN-Point device when no system is in place. Drivers receive a personalised PIN or QR code during pre-registration or check-in. Upon arrival, they scan or enter the code to open the gate. No manual badge creation. No gatehouse bottlenecks. And no risk of someone “tailgating” into a restricted zone.
Gate automation that enforces your safety rules
Automated gates and barriers do more than speed up entry and exit. They enforce your safety processes. The gate stays shut if a driver hasn’t completed a safety induction or lacks a valid booking. If a contractor’s access has expired, they can’t re-enter.
Our customers value their Peripass account connected to their access control system, because it’s quick to deploy and works with existing hardware, from barriers to turnstiles. Automating the physical entry point and linking it to digital permissions reduces the human error that often causes compliance breaches.
Full yard visibility: know who and what is on site
Safety depends on visibility. You can’t protect what you can’t see. That’s why the Peripass Yard Control Tower is at the heart of our platform.
Through one dashboard, your team sees every vehicle and visitor on site in real time: who’s waiting, loading, and leaving. You know which docks are free, which trucks are queuing, and how long each has been on site.
With this digital twin of your yard, you can:
- keep pedestrians and vehicles separated by enforcing safe traffic flows
- react fast in an emergency by knowing exactly who is on site
- reduce expensive congestion by cutting waiting times (many customers report up to 85% less delays)
Since every movement is logged, you also have a full audit trail to prove compliance during inspections or investigations.
Making compliance practical, not painful
We know safety processes can’t slow down operations. That’s why we built our platform to be practical and quick to deploy. Our PIN-Point devices can be installed in days, not months. The Yard Control Tower is cloud-based and easy for planners to use. Workflows and safety checks run automatically in the background, so your teams focus on moving goods safely and on time.
The bottom line
The best tools for safety compliance are systems that work together, not just boxes to tick. Access control keeps the wrong people out. Gate automation enforces your rules. Real-time yard visibility gives you control and proof of compliance.
At Peripass, we combine these elements into one platform that makes your yard safer, more efficient, and fully auditable. When safety is built into your daily operations, not bolted on afterwards, everyone goes home safe, and your logistics run smoother.
