0:10
o hey up and welcome to the
0:14
channel today we're still at the Smithy
0:17
wood industrial estate we're going to
0:19
have a look at the advanced intelligent
0:22
supply chain there is a foot path which
0:26
runs down the back there so I'm going
0:29
have a walk down there see what else I
0:30
can see but from the front this is the
0:33
hgv entrance your
0:35
side you're full
0:38
Crossing so on the public
0:40
road and youve
0:44
got a security booth with a couple of
0:47
members of
0:49
Staff H delivery driver and security
0:52
maybe he's just checking his l in the
0:56
Gated
0:57
barriers so you need authorization to go
1:01
in we'll go have a walk down this path
1:05
and see what we can
1:12
[Applause]
1:17
see looks like there has been a track
1:19
made down the outside of the perimeter
1:21
fence as well but it looks really wet
1:24
and muddy on there so I'm not going to
1:26
walk on
1:28
that and this this
1:30
one just carries on Mount so I'm
1:34
assuming this is a public foot
1:36
path and then I've got this list of
1:38
sight rules on the edge of the security
1:40
but I don't think we'll be able to see
1:41
them from
1:45
here see if the zoom picks it
1:49
up there's your site
1:51
rules speed
1:53
limits and your
1:55
mandatory warnings
2:01
so we can't really see them from where
2:03
we are so we'll go back to the top and
2:05
we'll head down the edge of the building
2:06
and see what else we can
2:08
see but they've not they've not kicked
2:11
off a fuss in there so they must be fine
2:15
Happy Days
2:30
right so we're back up the foot path
2:31
which is them the big wooden blocks s
2:34
vehicles going down back at the edge of
2:36
the car
2:38
park I will cut to when we're down at
2:41
the main entrance unless there's
2:44
anything noteworthy to see on the
2:52
way so there you go back at the front of
2:55
the in advanced intelligent supply chain
2:59
the only things we saw was the electric
3:01
car charging and smoking shelter and
3:04
bike
3:05
shelter which I'll show you on the
3:09
Drone and then you got your main
3:12
entrance in
3:16
there behind the barried car pack and it
3:18
goes all the way down they turned it off
3:21
so you can't drive down
3:22
there if you're going in on a
3:25
cycle this is where you come in
3:33
but yeah upstairs in that window there
3:35
you have got your meeting room and
3:38
downstairs is the canteen for all the
3:44
stuff so I think the only thing left to
3:47
do is check on drone
3:51
assist and get the Drone up there's a
3:55
vehicle coming out is he is he coming
3:56
out down the bottom
4:00
down that them Gates a yellow van
4:02
thought it was coming through that gate
4:04
there see how we navigated all the cones
4:06
that they put out to stop you going down
4:08
but now it's turn
4:09
around and gone back up the other
4:17
way right so as I said I will check on
4:19
drone assist make sure we're clear to
4:21
fly the in the area and if we are we
4:24
will Che to the skies
4:30
we have got a gentleman coming out
4:32
now so that what he's uh going to say if
4:35
he's got an issue or
4:43
not nope take
4:46
off right home Point updated so
4:51
Advanced intelligent supply chain
4:56
[Music]
5:12

5:15
main entrance you C off area to the car
5:18

5:28

6:09
disabled vase which are all conned off
6:12
for some strange reason i' got quite a
6:15
few electric charging
6:17
points we'll go a bit higher in a little
6:20
while to see what they got on the
6:21
roof and around the back of the
6:24
building so we got the whole car park
6:36
you got your dpd Center just there on
6:39
your
6:40
left as in a previous
6:52
video and then down this that's the
6:54
public foot path we had to walk down
7:01
and that's where your security Hut is
7:04
for hgvs and deliveries so there's a
7:06
sign on the edge of it that says Goods
7:08
in right we'll go a little bit
7:13
higher see what they got on the roof and
7:15
come back this
7:16
way and have a look on the back from
7:18
this side

big old
7:53
facility solar panels yeah right across
7:58
the center of the building
8:09
there's a fair few cows in the C pack
8:11

9:20
yeah wa trying to tell people about
9:22
modern technology do you know what I
9:23
mean
9:26
yeah they're not too bad so I'd prefer
9:29
to get with a screen on the controller
9:31
so you have to use your phone but so
9:33
it's just the one they had at the time
9:35
when I got
9:37
it oh cool so it's just over there just
9:40
up there
9:42
now just on that just on that
9:45

10:02
bring it back and show you the size of
10:03
it no no
10:07
perfect wind up
10:09
there it's it's it's it's pretty exposed
10:11
at the top of here actually yeah um this
10:14
this was a this was all spoil at one
10:16
point from what I'm L to
10:18
believe so it's it's kind of see it's
10:21
kind of manmade in how it's built up
10:22
around here actually yeah so the other
10:24
place I've been which is super windy all
10:27
the time is
10:29
it is oh what's it called Pand yeah yeah
10:33
yeah yeah so that's
10:36
uh yeah that's all one oh Jesus H up
10:39
exposed as well yeah oh you can see it
10:41
moving you can see the the movement on
10:42
it can't you yeah I just put it into
10:44
spot
10:53
down not that not that I don't trust you
10:55
flying but I'll take a step back no
10:58
worries it's actually really
11:02
cool yeah it's tiny oh it isn't it but a
11:06
really really good camera camera feed on
11:08
it don't you yeah I'll just turn I'll
11:10
turn it off for a sec I'll battery on it
11:13
but yeah it's 249 G yeah yeah so if you
11:17
get the 249 ones you don't have um a
11:21
minimum distance to people in buildings
11:24
yes so all goes on where we D oh I I I
11:28
try I I want I remember on looking at
11:30
the whole Civ civil aviation stuff with
11:33
they in it and what's what's licensed
11:35
what's not LIC it goes on my head I'm
11:37
not going to tell you that I know any
11:38
better yeah no say I looked it up and
11:42
like said seen people do this sort of
11:43
thing before you always want to check to
11:45
myself but when you look at the
11:48
legislations on the website take that
11:50
down I can't speak with just I'm I'm
11:52
only we it's cool that's it not trying
11:54
to look suspect to anything hey hey hey
11:56
would also I mean I I come come chat
11:58
with you cuz you got a draw but also
12:00
probably good job to come have a chat
12:01
with anyone on the S side just to see to
12:03
see what they're up to you never know
12:05
yeah yeah no I've got nothing to hide
12:06
for so you're not coming out telling me
12:09
I can't do something I've seen them I've
12:12
seen enough of these videos on YouTube
12:13
over the years I know I know you can I
12:15
do try not to antagonize people I just
12:18
find places that I find interesting and
12:19
go have a look and like give myself a
12:22
sight to a it this is all about changing
12:24
changing to me it's all about changing
12:25
Landscapes of the world as well cuz this
12:27
was this was this was F this was not one
12:29
Farmland this is a this is a spoil leap
12:31
and it's it it never built up and this
12:33
is the way that the world is changing
12:34
around us as well isn't it you know yeah
12:35
so in a couple of couple of years that
12:38
that could be all built up be another
12:39
big unit on there I think there
12:40
potentially the idea is to have one on
12:41
the far end of the building I think at
12:43
one point they were looking at truck
12:44
like a lry park this where transport and
12:47
Logistics coming um primarily and there
12:50
there's a absolutely lack of Lorry
12:52
parking now that for you know for people
12:54
to stop securely yeah um what and it's
12:58
the world's changing and it's massive
12:59
Target area Lor's pked up on play and
13:01
stuff like that it's yeah getting broken
13:03
into all the time yeah yeah yeah I saw a
13:05
post on Facebook yesterday I think and
13:08
some guy had packed up to to sleep or
13:10
whatever and he came back put his uh put
13:13
his truck back on didn't have no camera
13:15
fed went out someone covered them all up
13:17
with something and cut all cables yeah
13:20
yeah yeah good chance try to slash the
13:22
curtains or whatever it is on them
13:24
happens us was just off the motorway
13:26
here so you get you will get people who
13:28
drive down and come and Park on the
13:29
front of here yeah and you know being
13:31
good neighbors to everybody we we're
13:33
obviously we've got huge amount of CCTV
13:35
on a building like this and and it's
13:36
covered under cameras and they think
13:38
it's secure and safe you might we see we
13:40
see a whole lad of breakings on the
13:41
front of a still
13:43
though scumbags out they yeah yeah but
13:46
you never know what's you you never know
13:47
what a l is you know carrying to be
13:49
honest with you until until they get
13:51
into it it's just chances is it yeah but
13:53
yeah now it's
13:55
uh I'll see if I see if I can get a
13:57
drone on S at some point that one's only
13:59
that one's a mini 2 yeah that cost me
14:01
about 250 quid did that but you can get
14:04
the the mini three and four which you've
14:07
got the 4K cameras on yeah they're about
14:09
a grand like two grand, 1500 qu you can
14:12
get them for I see I I wouldn't be fing
14:14
it personally I've got the coordination
14:16
of a of a 2-year-old um but they're
14:19
really easy I don't even drive very well
14:21
to be F really easy to do no no for this
14:25
the left stick up and down is height on
14:28
it left and right turn it the the stick
14:31
move it left and right other stick
14:32
forward and backwards like forward and
14:34
backwards on it and that's it so dead
14:36
simple to do good gen genuinely if there
14:39
anything you
14:40
want look interested there anything you
14:42
want to know about about the building
14:44
the when was it built L really new yeah
14:47
so we've been on site here for about
14:49
four years we just under four years and
14:51
we were the first tenant of the building
14:52
so this this would have been thrown up
14:54
this was thrown up about 5 years ago
14:56
started doing started putting this up um
14:58
and this this built by a company called
15:00
PLP which actually they took it off of
15:02
there now PLP actually run build an
15:04
awful lot of these uh business Parky
15:06
warehouses things another one down by
15:09
metall called Bess B oh Bess yes I've
15:13
I've drove the before got the big uh
15:16
pretty little thing where I stuff and
15:18
you'll notice they all look the same
15:19
these days as well they're all prefabbed
15:21
thrown up um and then we customize we
15:23
come in as as a company and customize
15:25
the Interiors of it to to to to what we
15:27
need to do um
15:29
um um we're primarily a clothing a
15:33
clothing sort of not retailer if the
15:34
wrong word uh we work with clothing
15:36
companies who like Asos for example
15:38
compies have own their own networks so
15:40
again Asos have another they have a gxo
15:43
operat ately prim got massive huge
15:46
Warehouse out there
15:49
um U yeah we we we we Supply warehousing
15:52
and and transportation to to these to
15:54
these companies you know effectiv is
15:56
outsourcing really to extent fully
15:59
automated inside or no no no we we you
16:01
have Pickers and stuff to go pick stuff
16:03
we do we have during our busiest periods
16:05
we have up to about 800 staff working on
16:07
site any you know over the course of a
16:09
day so 400 in the morning 400 in the
16:11
afterno get bigger car packs then uh it
16:13
it it does sometimes provide a struggle
16:15
I'll be honest with you yeah um one of
16:18
the things I said on the video the car
16:20
packs are really busy it's good to see a
16:22
company doing well yeah no no 100% And
16:25
and it's a we're part of a much a wider
16:27
group called reconomy who are um
16:31
effectively I can never describe it
16:33
properly it's part of the whole circular
16:34
economy to do everything from making
16:36
things to recycling so it started off as
16:38
a recycling company and and waste
16:39
Transfer at that um and we work on the
16:42
whole circular economy of the supply
16:44
chain there supply chain actually yeah
16:47
um but so where one where one company is
16:49
part of a quite a large group now is
16:52
it's really really good so I'm I'm
16:54
having a pleasure chatting with you as
16:56
well so so I I'm not going to be rude
16:59
and try and cause an argument with you
17:01
that's not what I'm about I just like to
17:02
come and see interesting places as I
17:04
said yeah like it's it's it's good
17:06
speaking to people as well find out what
17:08
they do that's it plus it also proves
17:10
the security function here Works cuz we
17:11
did see you yeah yeah well I'm not I'm
17:14
not hiding in Bush no no you're
17:16
not um no I um it's I think about the
17:20
third or fourth person since we've been
17:21
open actually simly yeah yeah all right
17:24
I've not seeing any videos or pictures
17:25
that put up or anything which means
17:27
nothing nothing too bad when
17:29
off or um or or again actually maybe
17:32
no's coming engaged as well and actually
17:34
you know about what we do and and that
17:35
sort of stuff as well yeah so I've only
17:38
had really one bad reaction from a
17:42
company in Sheffield yeah uh I mean I've
17:45
seen I've seen some of these where
17:46
they've gone or some something Forge
17:47
Masters I think there one Forge Masters
17:49
in Sheffield oh yeah that it's an mod
17:51
site so oh it's got M mod clearance so I
17:53
think they more direct shall we say
17:57
sometimes M was at um
17:59
the assay office oh down in HB yeah yeah
18:03
yeah came out kicking off shouting
18:06
swearing I
18:08
like I'm still on the road I'm still in
18:10
the public right away just like oh well
18:12
you checking out as security I'm like
18:14
I'm not I'm just looking at the
18:14
buildings I found it interesting what
18:16
you do yeah yeah if they watch the video
18:17
I'll go into I'll go into a bit of the
18:19
history of what they're doing when they
18:20
started and what it is so it's
18:22
like knock yourself
18:25
out you can't what you can't always
18:27
teach security is customer
18:29
it security was it not was it not it was
18:31
some of the employees from inside oh
18:33
okay all right fair enough just ask me
18:35
they came and asked what I was doing
18:37
that's fine it went off and then came
18:39
back with another guy and started
18:40
kicking off no man but perfect yeah
18:43
Brant thank nice before you go yeah of
18:46
course um what is it you do different
18:48
than other distribution centers uh so uh
18:51
what is it what is it we do different um
18:54
like why should people look to use
18:56
Advanced intelligent Supply other than
18:58
other players is like dhen give you give
19:01
you the specific what what we do is
19:04
because we are still a relatively small
19:06
company in the in the areas that we
19:07
we're able to bespoke our um you know
19:12
give give our customers a bespoke
19:13
service so we work with them to to to
19:15
provide what they need for their
19:17
services yeah but we're equally an
19:19
extremely technology-led business now um
19:22
and and you you you can see that in we
19:24
build our own it platforms and stuff
19:26
like that to to work in with other
19:29
customers it platforms and stuff it's a
19:32
yeah pretty fancy stuff then yeah it can
19:34
be it can be I having said that I'm not
19:37
the best spokesperson generally for the
19:39
company obviously SEC work in security
19:41
but what they do sometimes it's a bit of
19:42
a a mystery what they actually are not
19:45
not what they are actually are doing but
19:46
you know how it works yeah uh cuz you
19:49
look at it and go how does that get from
19:50
there to there to there and
19:52
seamlessly um it's a black magic is
19:56
logistics yeah cool absolutely p yeah
19:59
you too mate have a good time like say
20:01
thought get yourself a cup of tea cuz
20:02
it's a bit cold out here that's that's

20:06
perfect see all right see you L
