  • Publication number: 20220405695
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to monitor and manage loading dock operations are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a sensor feedback analyzer to analyze feedback from sensors associated with a dock at a material handling facility to determine durations for completion of tasks in a sequence of operations associated with loading or unloading of a trailer at the dock based on the feedback. The apparatus also includes an efficiency analyzer to compare the durations to target thresholds associated with the tasks. The apparatus further includes a user interface generator to generate a user interface indicating at least one of the durations or the target thresholds.
