We are Thought LeaderS in Yard Management
Increase added value with tailored yard management
Avoid inefficiencies through better planning on the farm
In many cases, limited resources are wasted on the yard because organizational measures are taken in an attempt to compensate for inefficient processes with a high level of manual effort. This is often accompanied by a lack of transparency as to where which resources are located and for which projects they are even suitable. One consequence is unnecessary search times, as there is no inventory overview of equipment such as trailers or containers, or there is no overview of pending tasks and priorities. This results in delays in dispatch and production. Another consequence of a lack of transparency is that there is no opportunity to make up for delays by reprioritizing critical orders.
Control all activities on site premises
Through intelligent yard management, you can achieve an efficient supply of incoming & outgoing goods with the required equipment at a smoothed utilization of on site traffic. This leads to a reduction of overcapacities due to peak loads and a reduction of fixed assets, depreciation and operating costs.
- Keep an eye on critical processes with smart sensor technology:Sensitive products can lose value because the cooling of a trailer is set incorrectly and is not monitored with system support. Better utilize loading points by automating call-offs.
- Avoid empty runs and empty minutes with queue management and navigation:Support employees on the yard with rule-based order allocation and route optimization and avoid inefficient order sequences and travel distances. Make complex processes plannable and measurable through standardization.
-
Mobile apps and status tracking replace the manual recording of orders on slips of paper and the resulting duplication of effort, and increase transparency. Clever user guidance allows you to capture all necessary information where it arises.
Options for better planning yard processes
Manual planning
Manual planning and distribution of transport, lifting and shunting orders by dispatchers, for example as part of an overall gate control system, as well as prioritized call-up of internal and external vehicle resources to the ramp.
Partially automated
System-based suggestions based on templates and rule sets. The dispatcher accepts or overrides allocation proposals.
Fully automated
The allocation of transport, lifting and shunting orders is automated by a program logic that takes into account customer-specific criteria and allocates the orders efficiently on this basis.
Design your Yard Management of the Future!
Especially in yard management, many processes can be supported, facilitated and automated by IoT and innovative technologies:
- Smart equipment: The combination of sensor technology and tracking technologies is enabling more and more the use of self-driving Mafi trucks. Smart devices such as Google Glasses or sensor technology on the Mafi truck make order entry and resource recognition noticeably easier. By equipping your vehicle fleet with beacons, RFID or telematics boxes, you gain an overview of where which truck is.
- Automation: By connecting the gates to the system, you can automatically detect where resources are currently available. Virtual geofences enable hands-free check-in at the gate, for example, thanks to intelligent machine-software communication - saving time and money. Technologies such as LiDAR, intelligent camera systems, imaging and sensor technology will increasingly allow the use of driverless transport systems in the future.
- Support through technology: With the help of head-up displays, vehicles can be guided around the yard without the need for manual instruction by gate personnel. In combination with intelligent order allocation, you achieve route optimization in your yard and thus save valuable time.
