More Efficiency through Yard Management by PAARI

PAARI® Waagen- und Anlagenbau GmbH & Co. KG optimizes the logistical processes of companies through the targeted use of yard management. Furthermore, the processes become significantly more transparent and traceable.

What exactly is Yard Management?

(Erfurt) – Yard management, also known as yard/work logistics or truck handling, focuses on organizing vehicle movements at the interface between transport (road, rail, etc.) and intralogistics (EWM, WM, etc.).

PAARI® provides you with intelligent and effective traffic control in the yard, modern kiosk systems, and precise weighing systems.

What advantages does digital yard management offer?

• Reduction of language barriers through multilingual terminals
• Increased attractiveness of the location for truck drivers
• Integration of safety instructions
• Increase in the share of time slots for more efficient internal processes
• Qualitative improvement of data
• Increased safety at the location through access control
• Optimization of traffic control at the location
• Utilization of gate staff for other value-added activities (e.g., monitoring the premises)

In short: With yard automation, you have an efficient, automated, and scalable plant logistics system that allows you to capture and manage the material flows of incoming and outgoing goods. By optimizing the processes in the yard, you can ensure a consistent use of resources. The connected solutions made by PAARI® from software and hardware elevate process optimization to a new level.

What are the investment costs for yard automation?

The resulting costs are not always immediately apparent at first glance, as they are distributed across various areas and can vary significantly due to the individual structure of a company. In projects, PAARI® takes on process analysis and optimization as well as the selection and implementation of the system, training and instruction of users, adjustments, service, and support.

PAARI® provides solutions and services to both large industrial and logistics customers as well as medium-sized companies from various sectors. In kickoffs and workshops, the customer processes to be optimized are collaboratively developed. According to your goals and requirements, we develop a customized concept tailored to your company.What costs can be reduced through the use of digital yard management?

• Costs for stand fees from freight forwarders, which, if not contractually possible, are usually calculated through a higher freight price
• Costs for increased personnel needs and personnel planning efforts to compensate for fluctuations in utilization
• Costs for overtime incurred by the loading/unloading crew
• Costs for personnel (gatekeepers), due to a high number of routine tasks

Which processes can be optimized through the use of digital yard management?

• Process optimization by reducing bureaucratic overhead in administration (no more printing of Excel files and manual handovers, but digital data exchange)
• Introduction of a time-optimized process chain design for efficient loading/unloading
• Process planning: better and individualized planning of capacities for increasing volumes and peak times
• Reduction of waiting and stay times of trucks in the yard
• Transparency in processes and simple billing (detailed daily closing)
• Real-time information for management and systems
• Compliance with safety and hygiene standards through prior digital safety instruction
