.yard helps coordinate truck movement in the warehouse yard. As soon as the trucks check in at the entrance, the automated strategies kick in. Savanna.NET® recommends to the truck drivers the optimal areas for loading and unloading in terms of time and space. If the truck is loaded or empty, .yard immediately forwards the information to the underriding or overriding systems. Route planners or the ERP systems use this information.
.yard organizes the logistical link between warehouse and the surroundings, and integrates truck loading/unloading to the overall automated or partially automated warehouse process.
.yard's most important functions include
- checking the trucks in at the loading station
- calling the trucks (e.g. via SMS)
- assigning the right loading/unloading station
- highlighting statistical data for assessing truck movement, loading/unloading times and storage periods
- easy scheduling of trucks at the door
.yard reports the ready-to-load trucks to the Savanna.NET® warehouse management system early on. When it comes to delays, the truck loading/unloading order is rearranged at short notice.
