They’re closely connected to transportation management systems (TMS), enterprise resource planning (ERP) and warehouse management systems (WMS). The opportunity to improve efficiency lies in integrated yard management: a connected, intelligent system that orchestrates people, vehicles, asset resources and data in real time. To reach its full potential, a modern freight yard management system applies intelligent optimization driven by AI-driven algorithms that recalculate schedules in real time when disruptions occur. With this awareness, the software gives yard management control functions from yard entry to the ramp that calculate optimized traffic sequences to avoid tie-ups or other disruptions. The team at Coca-Cola HBC Austria earned a highly coveted Logistics Award for this "Automated Yard Management" project.
