Solutions Overview

Advanced Yard Management is now a priority for DC managers and logistics professionals building efficient supply chain operations in the 21st Century.

Recent developments in Real Time Location Systems (RTLS) enable efficiencies in yard management that legacy yard management systems can never achieve. Current RTLS platforms have the capability to eliminate the inefficiencies and associated costs of dated practices. Existing yard management implementations rely heavily on error prone human information collection. They also frequently rely on time consuming, static (not real time) yard management software that requires manual input of collected data. Through automation, RTLS eliminates errors in information collection and, because it is a true real time system, RTLS eliminates the need for time-inefficient, static yard management software.
