Detailed Sustainability Features of YMS

In today's industrial landscape, sustainability practices are more than just a concept—it's a shared responsibility. Yard Management Solutions empowers facilities to optimize move management, enhance yard visibility, and maximize space utilization. Here’s how:

Enhance Yard Visibility:

Without YMS visibility, drivers spend excessive time and generate unnecessary greenhouse gas emissions searching the entire yard for a single trailer, not knowing the exact location, or even if it's on the yard. With YMS, real-time visibility ensures drivers know exactly where every trailer is located. Our system guides drivers directly to the trailer's location, significantly reducing emissions by eliminating aimless driving.

Maximize Space Utilization:

Upon arrival at the gate, trailers are directed to the optimal spot, ensuring efficient space use and minimizing unnecessary movements within the yard. This approach contributes to an improved supply chain by optimizing resource use.

Reduce Fuel Consumption:

Without YMS, drivers are often assigned moves on the opposite side of the facility, resulting in unnecessary fuel consumption. With YMS, when a move is created, it's assigned to the nearest driver using GPS technology, minimizing the distance traveled between moves, ensuring efficiency and reducing carbon emissions.

Real-World Impact

The implementation of Yard Management Solutions brings about significant real-world impacts, aligning with our corporate social responsibility and supply chain sustainability goals:

Reduction in CO2 Emissions:

The precise tracking and location capabilities of YMS mean that drivers no longer need to waste time and fuel searching for trailers. By knowing exactly where to go, drivers spend less time idling and driving aimlessly, leading to a considerable reduction in carbon dioxide emissions. This directly contributes to a cleaner environment and helps companies meet their sustainability targets

Increased Operational Efficiency:

With real-time visibility and optimized move management, operations become more streamlined. Drivers can complete tasks more quickly and with fewer errors. This increase in efficiency means that facilities can handle more trailers in less time, boosting overall productivity without the added environmental cost. This contributes to supply chain transparency and supports sustainable supply chain management.

Cost Savings:

Reduced fuel consumption translates into significant cost savings for companies. By minimizing unnecessary movements and optimizing routes, YMS helps lower fuel expenses. Additionally, the decrease in wear and tear on vehicles due to fewer and more efficient moves results in lower maintenance costs.

Improved Driver Satisfaction:

Drivers benefit from a more straightforward, less stressful working environment. With clear instructions and real-time data, drivers can perform their duties more effectively and with greater confidence. This can lead to higher job satisfaction and lower turnover rates, further enhancing the stability and efficiency of yard operations. Improved working conditions and labor practices are critical for long-term operational success.

Enhanced Space Utilization:

Efficient yard management means better use of available space. YMS ensures that trailers are placed in optimal locations, maximizing the use of yard space and reducing congestion. This not only improves operational flow but also delays the need for additional infrastructure investments, saving money and reducing the environmental footprint of facility expansion. Reducing waste and promoting efficient resource use are key aspects of our sustainability practices.

Contribution to Corporate Sustainability Goals:

Implementing YMS helps companies achieve their supply chain sustainability goals. By reducing emissions, optimizing resource use, and enhancing overall efficiency, YMS supports broader environmental initiatives and corporate responsibility efforts. This includes reducing the carbon footprint of supply chain operations.
