The garment journey, in one scroll.

Follow one set of fire kit from the station to the hub and back. Nine steps. Each one is a scan, a decision and a record.

  1. Collection

    Driver app

    The driver scans the cage at the station. From that moment the system knows which garments are on the van, and the firefighter can see that their kit has gone for cleaning.

  2. Arrival and batch creation

    Floor station

    At the sort bench every garment is scanned in. The system groups them into wash batches by garment type and contamination, and prints nothing: the batch exists on the screen and on the cage.

  3. Wash

    Floor station

    The wash station shows which programme the batch needs. The operator loads the machine and confirms. The wash is recorded against every garment in the batch.

  4. Dry and drying hall

    Floor station

    Garments are scanned onto the drying route. The drying hall screen shows what is in, what is ready and what has waited too long.

  5. Inspection

    Floor station

    The inspector works on a drawing of that garment type and marks every finding where it is. The outcome is pass, repair or condemn. Findings that the standard treats as a hard fail go straight to condemned.

  6. Repair

    Floor station

    Repairs are listed from the inspection marks, not retyped. A repaired garment goes back through inspection before it can be packed.

  7. Packing

    Floor station, put wall

    The system builds the pick list per firefighter. The put wall shows which slot each garment goes in, so a set is complete before it is sealed.

  8. Dispatch and delivery

    Driver app

    The driver scans the cage out, follows the round, and photographs the handover at the station. The delivery is on record with time, place and picture.

  9. Back with the wearer

    Wearer app

    The firefighter sees that the clean, checked set is at the station. If anything is missing, they know before the shift, not during it.

Underneath every step.

  • A scan at every step

    Nothing moves between steps without a scan. Position and history are facts, not recollections.

  • The system decides, the operator confirms

    Routing, programmes and outcomes follow rules set up for your garments. The operator confirms; they do not look things up.

  • One live picture

    The hub floor map, the flow board and the exceptions list all read from the same record. Management sees it as it happens.
