Yard Management in SAP
Efficient control of factory traffic, gate and ramp handling with
the yard management of SERKEM.
The SERKEM solution in detail
The yard management system is used for monitoring and controlling vehicle movements. It enables the coordinated management of ramp allocation and gate processing.
By implementing the yard management system, you can optimize the timing and locations for the loading and unloading of vehicles. This helps to avoid waiting times at ramps or gates and increases processing speed. Various operations are automatically recorded in the system, giving you a real-time overview of all vehicles currently on the premises.
Companies with large premises, heavy traffic, multiple loading points, or several locations particularly benefit from using the yard management system. When combined with our solutions for swap body management and load carrier/container management, visibility and efficiency can be further enhanced.
