Loady shows solution for digital preloading restrictions
Loady has published a white paper on the digitalization of preloading restrictions in liquid logistics.
Loady's position paper analyzes the current situation with fragmented data and shows how structured preload restriction data can improve testing processes in the chemical, feed and food industries and how this can lead to efficiency and sustainability gains.
Standardized data model replaces manual inspections
Loady structures preloading restrictions in a chemically and logistically consistent data model. Each substance is uniquely identified by CAS and EC numbers, synonyms and multilingual designations. Rules can be defined at substance or group level and return clear statuses. Companies maintain their restrictions centrally in Loady and can import existing lists in a structured manner. The platform offers API interfaces for synchronization with ERP and QHSE systems as well as export functions. The use of structured pre-loading restriction data reduces manual checking efforts by up to 80%, avoids rejections through valid scheduling and reduces CO₂ emissions through fewer multiple trips and unnecessary cleaning.
The solution is used at three levels: Dispatchers, shippers and cleaning companies check whether product combinations are permitted and which cleaning procedures are required. Carriers and shippers carry out structured Previous Load Restriction (ePLR) checks by entering up to five pre-loads and receiving validated results immediately. Pilot customers are integrating ePLR logic into transportation and yard management systems for automated pre-disposition or gate release checks.
Future integration into electronic cleaning certificates
Loady is working on integrating the ePLR logic into electronic cleaning certificates such as ECLIC's eECD or Bulkvision certificates. In future, cleaning certificates could be automatically checked against valid pre-loading restrictions - the cleaning station transmits the pre-product and cleaning code, Loady validates the information and notes the test result directly in the certificate.
