10 Solutions SLV PLATFORM Cachapuz solutions are based in SLV Platform, an innovative software and automation truck management system for industrial plants that provides the complete automation of the main functional areas: _Access control and identification _Goods and products dispatching _Automatic truck parking management (queue and calling) _Entry/exit gates control _Self-service and unmanned weighing _Self-service bulk loading for trucks and wagons _Bags loading and automatic counting control _Raw materials unloading control and validation _Fleet management (GPS/GPRS) _Business and KPI analysis and rich Reporting features _ERP integration in online and offline modes (contingency) Every SLV Platform-based solution is: _Modular _Scalable _Robust _Reliable _Remotely supported _A proven solution ADVANTAGES _RFID access control and identification (both long and short range technologies) _Improved logistics and control on the inbound/outbound processes; _Increased organization of truck movement; _Self-service weighing operations; _Automatic management of trucks yard (queue and calling); _Automated dispatching and raw materials reception 24/7; _Reduction of manpower, human errors and fraud; _Improvement of safety and security on the plant; _Reduction of turnaround time to complete the unloading operations; _Possibility to integrate with third party systems (software and automation); _Possibility to automate other processes and areas due to the scalability and modularity of SLV Platform solution; _Web based, well oriented and business focalized software frontends; _Detailed and comprehensive business analysis, KPI and reporting for control of the operations and decision making; _Authorization and authentication security features; _Integration with ERP in online and offline modes (contingency); _Possibility to reduce ERP licenses, fees and AMC contracts (the operators will use SLV platform frontends); _Remote support.

11 SOFTWARE SLV Platform was designed to be operated in three different modes: Automatic mode Automatic management of the dispatching and reception processes, without operators and with speed, security and accuracy; the truck drivers perform the operations in self-service mode interacting with the SLV Platform kiosks and using the RFID tag for identification; Manual mode Manual processes performed by the operators using well- defined and tailored frontends, through a PC or a mobile device (PDA/handheld, Smartphone, tablet, etc.); Mixed mode Combination of both manual and automatic processes in different areas. HARDWARE Due to its modularity and scalability, SLV Platform allows the integration of innumerous and optional components of hardware, which may be adapted according to the demands and needs of the customer: traffic lights, barriers, positioning sensors, information panels, LCD screens, Vehicle Number Plate Recognition, etc. SLV Platform self-service kiosks may also be customized, among others, with the following components: touch screen (color or black and white), printer (thermal or laser), short/long range RFID reader, card/tag collector, intercom, traffic lights, pushbuttons, etc. The main core modules of the solution are: Check-in; Parking management and calling; Gate-in; Weight-in; Loading; Unloading; Weight-out; Check-out; Gate-out; ERP Integration; Printing and Reporting; Data exploration.

14 SOLUTIONS SLV PLATFORM ARCHITECTURE SLV Platform is a web-based and a centralized solution which uses TCP/IP technologies for communication between all the components installed in the plant. This architecture brings great benefits for the customers, because SLV Platform will run on top of the existing LAN and WAN networks in the plant and ensures a fast and smooth installation, without the need of expensive and dedicated infrastructures. The communication between SLV Platform server and all hardware and software components is managed by the SLV Platform core modules, abstracting the complexity of the communication and control protocols. ERP System WEB VPN/Firewall Managers Operators Printers LAN/Ethernet/TCP/IP INTEGRATION WITH ERP SLV Platform can be integrated with the customer s ERP, which can be achieved for local and remote ERP servers, using standard and proven integration technologies. Both systems can communicate, exchange and validate business data related with the dispatching and reception processes. The integration between the two systems can be performed in online and offline modes using preferably Web Services and RFC, which are synchronous and standard technologies for the integration of heterogeneous systems. Cachapuz has decades of experience in industrial plants projects with ERP integration, creating self-service solutions to manage dispatching and reception processes 24 hours per day, 7 days per week with no data loss.
