Tracking Trailers on the Map in Open Yard Management
While efficiency in logistics and supply chain operations is generally measured by in-warehouse processes, the places where the operation truly gets clogged are massive open yards. In a logistics center where hundreds of trucks, containers, and trailers continuously enter and exit, finding a specific trailer can turn into a primitive struggle that severely interrupts operational speed. Manual logbooks, radio announcements, and searches conducted by driving around the yard extend delivery times and directly damage competitive power.
Solving Manual Coordination Failures
Navbea puts an end to this manual chaos with its IoT-based positioning solutions brought to open yard management. Every trailer and container entering the yard becomes instantly trackable on a digital map via long-range active tags or cellular tracking devices. No vehicle remains unknown in terms of where it is in the yard, its status, or how long it has been waiting. Regardless of the size of the open area, logistics managers can track the exact coordinates of all assets in the field second by second via web-based screens.
Optimizing Tow Truck Efficiencies
The added value created by this digitalization step is the exponential increase in operational capacity. When a tow truck enters the yard, it sees the exact location of the trailer it needs to pick up through the system and heads to its destination without waiting. This integration provided by Navbea prevents unnecessary fuel consumption, optimizes personnel effort, and maximizes the daily vehicle processing capacity of the logistics center. The open yard is no longer an uncontrollable parking lot, but a smart station whose every square meter is mathematically managed.
