The basics of yard control include time slot management, (un)loading, check-in, weighing, dock planning/control, cargo security, yard control tower, control center, and analytics. An end-to-end view also includes delivery, notification, pre-registration, ETA calculation, dynamic time slot calculation, as well as app-based gate control, driver registration, communication, and navigation. But to make it future-proof, you need automation: self-service terminals, sensors, driverless yard jockeys, AI and OCR… and ideally, all of this can be integrated into the existing system infrastructure.

However, YM only becomes future-proof through automation: self-service terminals, sensors, driverless yard jockeys, AI and OCR … and best of all, everything can be integrated into the existing system infrastructure.
