ConsID YMS Yard Management System

ConsID YMS (Yard Management System) extends the capabilities of ConsID WMS and manages equipment, labor resources, space at the warehouse gate to ensure efficient processes of goods acceptance and shipment. This solution is especially relevant in large warehouses with intensive cargo flow, frequent peak loads, large queues of transport in the warehouse.

Tasks solved by ConsID YMS:

• Control of entry/exit of vehicles to the warehouse area;
• Vehicle registration, opening/closing/printing of passes;
• Real-time gate congestion monitoring;
• Automatic installation of the vehicle on the warehouse gate for unloading/loading;
• Optimal loading of warehouse gates by time windows;
• Calculation of the gate employment plan;
• Tracking transport status and location;
• Reduce vehicle waiting times and delays for loading/unloading.

ConsID YMS Functionality

Depending on the requirements of ConsID, YMS ensures the passage of vehicles to the territory of the warehouse complex in three ways: obtaining a pass by the driver in the control room, a checkpoint self-service kiosk or through registration through a mobile application. Together with the pass, the driver automatically receives from the system all the necessary information for loading/unloading, including the gate number, time window and parking place.

The distribution of vehicles to the gates and time windows for loading/shipping is carried out either automatically by the system or by the dispatcher in a web application using drag & drop technology, which minimizes the time for this operation.

The solution can be integrated with:

• Information boards;
• LED indicators;
• On-board GPS devices of vehicles for displaying on the map in real time;
• Vehicle number recognition cameras;
• Gate opening/closing sensors;
• Barrier opening sensors.

2018: April System Update

ConsID On April 25, 2018, the company announced the launch of an updated version of the ConsID YMS warehouse management system on the market, which is focused on the needs of large warehouses with heavy cargo flow and frequent peak loads, where the tasks of minimizing queues and downtime are most acute. transport

In the updated version of ConsID YMS, the following functionality has been improved:

• the possibility of creating applications for entry and exit of vehicles in the system;
• advanced manual control of applications with the purpose of the shipping and acceptance gates, changes in the status of vehicles, confirmation and closure of passes;
• An optimized gate distribution algorithm without or taking into account the delivery time of transport, which allows you to plan shipping and acceptance processes with the separation of your own and hired vehicles;
• management of the standards for the location of transport in the territory, which allows you to flexibly manage the delivery schedule of transport units;
• visual reports that allow you to quickly identify problems and respond quickly in the event of a deviation from the transport delivery schedule.

ConsID specialists have also finalized the interface of mobile devices, which allows you to record the facts of the delivery of a transport unit to the gate and the fact of completion of work. This allows you to work effectively online with the transport queue and receive timely information about delays.

The updated ConsID YMS has been expanded with an interface of third-party transport companies, which allows them to manage their transport using a web application and have information about the current status of applications. In the future, the system will be able to receive notifications about critical events on the phone and e-mail, which will allow you to react even faster to problems with the delivery of goods, noted in ConsID.
