Navis™ yard

Yard Benefits
Exceed service level goals with real-time inbound and outbound visibility By automating inbound and outbound dock processes, warehouse labor is available to do higher value warehouse-related tasks. Real-time inbound and outbound visibility ensures that the right work is being done at all times—when a high priority load arrives, it’s immediately visible to all users, and can automatically be planned to an inbound dock for priority unloading. Improve resource utilization with real-time decision support Navis Yard's real-time nature allows for immediate visibility and management of activity and exceptions. Requests for equipment, door assignments, load statuses, hostler performance, and all other system activity is updated real-time across all clients, ensuring that decisions are never made against stale data. Eliminate yard congestion The advanced optimization agents reduce congestion by streamlining the flow from the gate, to the yard, to the dock, and back out the gate. Yard moves are dramatically reduced by utilizing over-the-road drivers to service the dock directly from the gate, when appropriate, and by eliminating redundant or unnecessary moves. Shorten turn times Minimizing manual processes and decreasing dock wait times reduce overall turn times for both fleet and common carriers. Real-time data capture allows for reporting and analysis of turn times, scheduled vs. actual arrival and departure times, and a host of other carrier performance criteria. Lower operating costs By automating key processes, Navis Yard helps sites reduce labor costs at security gates, inbound and outbound docks, in the yard, and in scheduling offices. Provide better customer service Through real-time updates of load statuses, trailer positions, inventory levels, and other critical data, customers will receive accurate statuses of important data. By streamlining the gate and dock processes, customers also benefit from a more reliable, faster interaction with the warehouse. Increase yard capacity without new facilities Navis Yard helps facilities avoid expansion of existing buildings and infrastructure by utilizing existing assets more quickly and efficiently. Automated agents, including door assignment, hostler dispatching, and equipment selection, keep pressure on the docks to reduce manual dock management requirements and eliminate labor idle time while waiting for the right equipment. Decrease operational costs through dynamic hostler, dock and gate optimization Reduce dock management labor requirements by automating inbound and outbound trailer movements. Minimize labor necessary for product put-away by automatically offloading products closest to their warehouse storage locations. Utilize over-the-road drivers for servicing the dock directly from the gate, when appropriate, avoiding unnecessary hostler moves. Navis Yard reduces operational costs through a myriad of optimization and automation techniques.
