How ASI Yard Shifting Helps You Overcome Yard Management Challenges
Effective yard management is a complex topic in today’s ever-evolving supply chain. PINC.com reports that poor planning on the part of warehouse managers can lead to extensive fees or detention charges, irritability and anger among truck drivers and employees, and excessive gait and congestion. Meanwhile, warehouse managers struggle with maintaining visibility and control over trucks, personnel, and assets in their yards. ASI’s Smart Yard Shifting solution can help warehouse managers overcome these challenges.
INCREASE SHIPMENT AND TRAILER VISIBILITY
The first step to overcoming yard management challenges lies in gaining visibility into shipments and trailers. This includes getting visibility into empty trailers, freight waiting to be loaded, and delays during exiting. Yard managers should use tracking technologies such as radio frequency identification, GPS, and Bluetooth-enabled technologies to monitor shipment location and trailer status.
MONITOR OPERATIONS FOR SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE
Fewer personnel on the ground between trailers and trucks and docks means fewer chances for unsafe situations to arise. Automation and teleoperation keep people out of harm’s way.
AUTOMATE TRUCK ARRIVAL AND EXITING NOTIFICATIONS, INCLUDING CHECK-IN PROCESSES
CLEARLY IDENTIFY & DEFINE YARD ZONES
Depending on the size of your company, you may work with many drivers who have not previously been to your yard. As a result, your company needs to invest in the training necessary to be able to run a safe operation.
ASI’s Smart Yard Shifting solution clearly identifies and defines your yard zones, such as Arrival Zone, Pick-Up Zone, Empties, Repairs, Priority Loads, and more. The Mobius® command and control software platform helps you capture important information, such as arrival time, trailer number, driver, contents, seal number, release date, and more. This system helps to make all players accountable on how and where they move trailers.

Choreographer
PROXIMITY MONITOR
When multiple vehicles are on a track at the same time, Proximity Monitor tracks their location, direction, and speed. If paths may cross, it directs vehicles to react appropriately to avoid collisions.
SAFE AREA LOCKOUT
These areas exist around autonomous vehicles and can be designated around human controlled vehicles on a track. Unmanned vehicles will stop if they approach any designated safe areas.
E-STOP
If unmanned vehicles leave the safety area or lose signal, the e-stop override immediately applies the brake.
