Kaleris introduced new capabilities in its yard management system (YMS) to improve efficiency, operational visibility and safety in yard operations.
“Kaleris is revolutionizing yard management by bringing real-time data and connectivity to the forefront of yard operations,” says Scott Holland, chief product officer at Kaleris. “By incorporating edge devices and IoT into our YMS, we can seamlessly collect and transmit information directly from the yard in real time, improving visibility into trailer locations, conditions, and other critical data points shippers need to know. Integrating edge computing fine-tunes the responsiveness of our system, providing yard operators with data visibility they can use to make informed decisions and take actions to manage exceptions.”
Key takeaways:
- Kaleris YMS optimizes and automates the management of trucks, trailers, containers, and dock slots in yard facilities for Fortune 500 shippers across North America and Europe.
- The latest innovations include intelligent movement to strategically organize yard moves; appointment scheduling, which assigns a specific time for trucks or carriers to arrive for shipment loading or unloading; real-time trailer tracking, which leverages an integration between Kaleris YMS and edge device Radiant Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) tags; and an enhanced driver experience through a driver pre-check-in app that streamlines their process from gate to gate.
- Kaleris YMS includes pre-built integrations with all transportation management systems, warehouse management systems and enterprise resource solutions.
