LiftMaster recently introduced the Light-Duty Dock Door Operator featuring an integrated dock management solution for warehouse facilities with vertical lift dock doors and light-duty cycle requirements.
More advanced than a traditional jackshaft operator, the Light-Duty Dock Door Operator opens 50% faster and features myQ Business Facility for cloud-based access management control and monitoring capabilities, LiftMaster said. The operator also includes the LMi5 interface device that expands awareness beyond the door to surrounding dock equipment.
“Facility management can be a stressful and demanding job, with varied and sometimes unpredictable daily challenges and often shrinking resources,” said Jeff Klein, vice president of LiftMaster’s commercial business unit. “By installing a motorized and connected access system like the LiftMaster Light-Duty Dock Door Operator with myQ Business Facility, managers can easily monitor access points in real time, measure their performance, and track their current open/close door status to help increase efficiency, safety and security, which can help improve warehouse operations and reduce overall stress levels.”
For businesses and facilities with light-duty cycle requirements that are looking to motorize full vertical lift dock doors, the Dock Door Operator provides a cost-effective solution that comes with unique key features including:
- Connected Access Management Solutions: The myQ Business software provides facility managers with full insight and control over warehouse access points, LiftMaster said. Additionally, the Dock Door Operator features the LiftMaster Interface (LMi5) Device, which utilizes sensor technology to capture Dock Door Sessions, allowing facility managers and business owners to track truck arrivals, leveler activity, door status and more in real-time. Through an annual subscription, which is included for the first year, business owners and managers can take advantage of:
- Asset Tracking—Tracks the door system components to allow for better maintenance planning and reduced downtime.
- Access Management—Establishes multi-user permissions-based functionality and reporting. Assigned users can monitor multiple commercial doors and gate operators to track user history and create set schedules and alerts for added safety and security.
- Facility Visualization—Provides real-time views on all connected docks, doors and gates within a customized facility dashboard for full control over all access points within the facility.
- Commercial Intelligence Reporting—Collects commercial door and gate operator activity, operation and events to develop key benchmarks and customized reports for improved warehouse efficiency, productivity, energy savings, compliance and safety.
- Advanced Alerts and Notifications—Enables multiple people/groups to receive alerts and notification based on user-set scenarios for increased safety and security.
- Door Lock Capability: Allows up to two door locks per system for added security.
- Integrated Battery Backup: Ensures access even when the power is out.
- Timer-to-Close: Automatically program the door to close after 1, 5 or 10 minutes.
