Unique dock management system gives Cardo door order worth SEK 8.1 million

Cardo's division Door & Logistics Solutions has entered into an agreement to
deliver doors and docking solutions for one of the world's largest logistics
companies. The doors will be installed at the company's logistics center in
Västerås, Sweden. The order is worth SEK 8.1 million.

Under the Crawford brand, Cardo sells industrial door, docking and service
solutions for operations in retail, industry, transportation and logistics. The
order in question comprises doors, docking systems and a unique control and
follow-up system, Crawford Dock Management. The system is integrated into the
customer's facility management system and is thereby made available in the
customer's existing web-based environment. The system makes the docking process
more efficient by automatically reporting errors, guiding trucks to the correct
docking bay and compiling important operating and user statistics. This
solution, which has been developed by Cardo, is also used to reduce the energy
consumption of the logistics center by ensuring that the doors are open only
during loading and unloading. 

“In all divisions and for a considerable time, we have been developing
technologies and new solutions that meet the demand created by some of today's
greatest global challenges. Our system for the control of doors is a good
example and a significant reason for us winning the order,” says Peter Aru,
Cardo's President and CEO. 

The order will be booked in the third quarter. Delivery will occur during the
second quarter of 2010.
