Driver check-in and operator review
The demonstration collects direction, registration, driver and company details, job references and refrigerated-load information. It shows how an operator can review the incoming answers alongside a gatehouse checklist. Local browser storage and message channels synchronise the demonstration; they are not presented as secure production persistence, authentication or a cross-country data service.
Proposed boom-gate and detection scope
The project documentation identifies Roger Technology Bionik BI/006 boom gates, a B73/LTM traffic-light module and Roger DLD vehicle-loop detection as the intended hardware scope. Real detector inputs, command interfaces and physical limit feedback require field design, installation and commissioning. Brand and model selection alone do not establish compliance of the entrance.
Camera and intercom design
The documented camera scope includes Hikvision DS-2CD6984G1-IHS(U)Y(/NFC) 32 MP panoramic cameras. Camera positioning, plate capture and visibility of trailer temperature displays must be assessed and tested in the actual yard. The manufacturer’s AES product range is named Opyn; the final intercom model and operator communications path must be confirmed for deployment. Demo camera and intercom indicators are not evidence of live video, audio or NVR-health integration.
Keep remote authorisation separate from movement safety
The proposed remote command scope is an open request. Hardwired protective devices and the commissioned local controller remain responsible for movement and the safe closing behaviour of the barrier. Suspending remote requests during a fault does not prove that the physical barrier is closed, or that every emergency and egress condition is safe. The installed system needs its own risk assessment and operating procedures.
Secure transport and resilience are deployment work
The architecture proposes authenticated commands, integrity checks, an encrypted network path and cellular failover. HMAC protects authenticity and integrity; it does not encrypt traffic. VPN, messaging, credentials, network outages and reconnection behaviour must be implemented and tested before operational use. The foundation demo’s simulated failover indicator is not an uptime guarantee.
Field validation before operational handover
The next phase must confirm vehicle detection, independent barrier-position feedback, camera and intercom performance, command authorisation, safe fault behaviour and locally approved manual procedures. Driver workflows and operator decisions must be tested with representative yard traffic. RJL can then agree the maintenance and reporting scope for the commissioned assets.
