Why Compliance is More Than Just Inspections
Pallet racking is the backbone of warehouse operations—yet, for many businesses, racking safety is an afterthought until something goes wrong. Traditional inspections are often:
🚨 Inconsistent – Different inspectors, different methods, different results.
🚨 Reactive – Damage is recorded, but are repairs actually tracked and verified?
🚨 Disconnected – No centralized system for compliance tracking across multiple sites.
That’s where RAMS changes the game.
RAMS isn’t just an inspection management tool—it’s a total compliance solution.
And at its core, IRDS, built for global standards, including:
✅ AS4084:2023 (Australia)
✅ EN 15512 (UK)
✅ U.S. compliance (currently in development)
What is IRDS? A Full-Scale Compliance Solution
At the heart of RAMS (Rack Asset Management System) is IRDS (Integrated Rack Diagnostic Suite)—an intelligent racking compliance platform designed to go beyond simple inspections.
IRDS is built specifically for compliance with AS4084:2023 and European EN 15635 standards, with U.S. compliance in development. It provides a standardized, digitized, and fully auditable process for racking inspections and risk management.
Key features of IRDS:
✅ Digitized Inspection Management – No more paper reports. Every check is structured, recorded, and stored.
✅ Real-Time Issue Tracking & Location Mapping – Pinpoint exactly where problems occur and track them to resolution.
✅ Automated Compliance Documentation – Always audit-ready, with reports available 24/7.
✅ Impact Monitoring & Overload Detection – Get real-time alerts when racking is compromised.
✅ Remote Expert Review & Third-Party Inspection Integration – Connect with specialists instantly.
✅ Multi-Site Management – Centralized control across multiple warehouses.
This isn’t just an inspection tool – it’s a complete compliance ecosystem.
Why IRDS is Essential for Warehouse Safety
Racking failures are costly—not just in repairs, but in downtime, lost goods, and safety risks. Traditional inspections often miss the bigger picture:
📉 Cost of Poor Quality (COPQ): Every unaddressed issue leads to higher repair and replacement costs.
⏳ Lost Productivity: Unplanned downtime from damaged racking disrupts operations.
⚠️ Human Risk: A single rack collapse can lead to serious injuries—or worse.
With IRDS, compliance isn’t just a checkbox – it’s a continuous process that ensures every issue is logged, verified, and resolved before it escalates.
Enhancing Compliance with the Full RAMS Suite
While IRDS is the backbone, RAMS offers additional modules that take warehouse compliance and efficiency to the next level:
📍 ATOS (Asset Tracking & Optimization Suite) – Real-time asset tracking, movement monitoring, and inventory control.
🚜 MEPS (Mobile Equipment Positioning Suite) – Tracks forklifts and MHE in real-time, reducing travel time and improving efficiency.
⚠️ RTSS (Real-Time Safety Suite) – Monitors impact events, driver behaviour, and equipment condition to enhance safety culture.
Each of these modules builds on IRDS to create a full compliance and operational safety ecosystem—but IRDS alone already transforms how racking compliance is managed.
Future-Proofing Warehouse Compliance
With global compliance regulations evolving, IRDS ensures that businesses stay ahead of the curve. Whether operating under AS4084, EN 15635, or future U.S. standards, RAMS provides the flexibility and intelligence needed to maintain compliance without the guesswork.
🔹 No more missing documentation.
🔹 No more reports without locations, item type, brand or sizing.
🔹 No more “quick fixes” that don’t get followed up.
🔹 No more surprises when an auditor shows up.
