Yard management system

Revolutionizing Yard Logistics with AI-Powered 3D Yard & Container Management System

Background

Large logistics hubs face a common problem—yard chaos. Hundreds of containers, trucks, and trailers move in and out daily, leading to mismanagement, delays, and untraceable inventory. Our client, a major logistics operator, struggled with: Poor visibility of yard Assets inefficient Inefficient container stacking & retrieval Manual check-ins and paper trails Costly idle time for trucks and labo They needed a futuristic, AI-powered, visually interactive platform to bring precision, speed, and smart control into yard and container operations

Key Modules & Features

We designed a next-gen AI-powered 3D Yard Management System, equipped with real-time asset tracking, intelligent container optimization, and a fully immersive 3D interface.

3D Yard Visualization Interface

A real-time, interactive 3D map of the entire yard Drag-and-drop functionality to assign or move containers Layered views for vehicles, docks, staff, and inventory zones

Real-Time Vehicle Tracking

Live location of trucks and trailers using GPS + IoT Predictive gate-in/gate-out time based on traffic and load AI-assisted dock assignment to reduce wait times

AI-Powered Container Management

Smart stacking logic to optimize space and retrieval time AI learns from historical data to suggest container placements Alerts for high-frequency access containers to reduce movement

Mobile Operator & Driver App

Augmented Reality (AR) guidance to exact container positions Instant check-in/out with QR code or facial recognition Load/unload instructions with AI-driven safety checks

Admin & Analytics Dashboard

KPI tracking: idle time, fuel use, turnaround rate, delays 3D playback of past container movements for audits Predictive analytics on peak congestion hours

Business Impact

After implementation, the system delivered:

95% real-time visibility into yard & container assets 30–50% improvement in container retrieval times Up to 40% reduction in truck idle and wait time Significant drop in human errors, lost items, and paperwork Fast ROI within 6–9 months through labor and time efficiency
