Recent developments in Real Time Location Systems (RTLS) enable efficiencies in yard management that legacy yard management systems can never achieve. Current RTLS platforms have the capability to eliminate the inefficiencies and associated costs of dated practices. Existing yard management implementations rely heavily on error prone human information collection. They also frequently rely on time consuming, static (not real time) yard management software that requires manual input of collected data. Through automation, RTLS eliminates errors in information collection and, because it is a true real time system, RTLS eliminates the need for time-inefficient, static yard management software.

Providing a new level of visibility into the movement of assets throughout the transportation logistics cycle, Advanced Yard Management bridges the gap between transportation and warehouse management systems. PINC Solutions' industry leading, award winning Advanced Yard Management system ̶ Yard Hound™ ̶ was developed exclusively for the yard. Its real-time locating capability delivers efficiencies in yard management that legacy yard management systems can never achieve.

PINC Solutions developed the first passive RFID based RTLS for yard management. The solution is now widely deployed in yards across North America where the productivity gains and cost reductions enabled by PINC have been proven and confirmed. The PINC RTLS yard management system pays for itself within 6 to 9 months.
