Gain Velocity at the Gate

Driver Pre-Check-In

Drivers have the option to check in ahead of their scheduled arrival via:

Driver Pre-Check-In App
Drive-Up Kiosk
Walk-Up Kiosk
Phone Call

Less wait at the gate = higher gate velocity = higher facility productivity.

Kiosks

Kaleris YMS does not let labor shortages or manual errors slow your gate down. With Kaleris kiosks, drivers can check in at their convenience in the language THEY need. Once a driver completes the kiosk check-in process, they will receive an RFID tag and instructions on trailer placement. Kaleris YMS automates the planning process for quick and efficient yard movements. No more spreadsheets. No more missing assets. No more gate congestion.

RTLS

RTLS (real-time location system) provides live information, automated check-in/out, automated location determination, move validation, and move generation.

With your entire yard connected through an intuitive, integrative, automated system like Kaleris YMS with RTLS… your days of yard chess are over.

Digital Yard™ Features

Gate Management

The gate system can be manned or unmanned in managing inbound and outbound rail and truck shipments. This automatic process streamlines gate procedures and increases the velocity of gate check-in and check-out of yard tractor-trailers, yard trucks, shuttle trucks, tractors, and drivers up to 100%.

Dock Appointment Scheduling

Yard managers, warehouse teams, carriers, and suppliers can use this feature to easily self-schedule inbound and outbound appointments, which are then leveraged by the YMS to automate the dock schedule. Automated scheduling eliminates time-consuming manual efforts, reduces errors and delays, balances loads, and decreases detention charges.

Yard Truck, Rail & Shuttle Management

Through an in-cab touch monitor, Kaleris facilitates two-way communication between the traffic managers and the drivers to assign, prioritize, and confirm tractor-trailer move tasks. Additionally, yard managers can solve yard management challenges by monitoring the location of the yard and shuttle trucks in real time.

Carrier Collaboration Manufacturer to Final Destination

Carriers gain real-time visibility over assets in their customer yards and can make gate appointments online 24/7, eliminating the need for frequent phone calls and faxes. Carriers can also perform live inventory checks, view current load status, and obtain historical records of asset activities.

Real-time Visibility

Real-time location systems (RTLS) enable users to track and locate yard assets in real time using passive RFID, GPS, and other sensors. All the information collected is presented in an easy-to-use, cloud-based system. Automate railcar movement tracking with AEI fixed and mobile device integration.

Reports & Analytics

A robust collection of more than 100 standard reports and dashboards are available within our Digital Yard™ including recent arrivals, departures, and yard capacity. See empties by the carrier, which can be augmented by custom reports. Reports can be exported by yard managers to Excel or scheduled to be run at predetermined times.

Seamless Integration

Digital Yard™ software enhances the value of existing warehouse management systems (WMS), transportation management systems (TMS), and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems through easy integration and the provision of real-time visibility and data via web API.

Reefer Management

Records refrigerated trailer information including temperature, fuel level, and operating status. Alerts operators to ensure regular checks are performed on all reefer trailers at a facility and all necessary and important information is recorded.

Dock Management

Digital Yard™ provides a graphical view of dock doors, showing yard asset details and the ability to initiate moves to and from the door. Additionally, the Digital Yard™ includes Dock Scheduling capabilities, which are used as an inbound load planning tool by yard managers or trading partners.
