Yard Management System

POXO's RFID Yard Management System automates gate check-in, trailer and container location, and dock scheduling across your yard — cutting truck dwell time, ending manual yard checks, and giving dispatch a live map of every vehicle and asset.

Quick Summary

POXO's RFID Yard Management System automates gate check-in, trailer and container location, and dock scheduling across your yard — cutting truck dwell time, ending manual yard checks, and giving dispatch a live map of every vehicle and asset.

  • Integrates with: SAP EWM / Yard Logistics, Warehouse Management Systems, Transport Management Systems (TMS), REST APIs & Webhooks
  • Core capabilities: Automated Gate Check-In: Trucks and trailers are identified at the gate automatically, removing the manual logging bottleneck.; Live Yard Map: Every tagged trailer and container is located in real time, so nothing is hunted for on foot.; Dock Scheduling: Match trailers to dock doors and monitor door status to keep loading and unloading flowing.

RFID Yard Management

The yard is the blind spot between the road and the warehouse — trailers arrive, park somewhere, wait, and eventually get to a dock, often with no one quite sure where any given trailer is or how long it's been sitting. Manual gate logs and yard checks on foot are slow and error-prone, driving up truck dwell time, detention charges, and dock congestion. POXO's RFID Yard Management System automates the whole flow: readers identify trucks and trailers at the gate, the system assigns and directs them to a dock or slot, and tagged trailers and containers are located in real time across the yard. Dock doors are scheduled and monitored, dwell time is tracked to flag detention risk, and departures are logged automatically. Designed for distribution centres, manufacturing plants, ports, 3PL operations, and large logistics hubs, the solution reduces truck turnaround time, eliminates manual yard hunts, cuts detention costs, and gives dispatch a live, accurate map of every vehicle and asset in the yard — connecting seamlessly to warehouse operations inside the dock door.

Core Features & Capabilities

Automated Gate Check-In: Trucks and trailers are identified at the gate automatically, removing the manual logging bottleneck.
Live Yard Map: Every tagged trailer and container is located in real time, so nothing is hunted for on foot.
Dock Scheduling: Match trailers to dock doors and monitor door status to keep loading and unloading flowing.
Dwell & Detention Alerts: Track how long each trailer sits and flag detention risk before charges accrue.

Turnaround Analytics: Measure gate-to-gate times and pinpoint the bottlenecks slowing the yard down.

How it works

1

Automated Gate Check-In

RFID readers identify trucks and trailers at the gate automatically, logging arrival without a manual stop-and-log.

2

Assign & Direct

The system assigns an inbound to a dock or parking slot and directs the driver, based on live yard status.

3

Locate in the Yard

Tagged trailers and containers are tracked to their yard position, so nothing has to be hunted for on foot.

4

Dock Scheduling

Dock doors are scheduled and monitored in real time, matching trailers to doors to keep loading flowing.

5

Monitor Dwell Time

The system tracks how long each trailer sits, flagging detention risk before it incurs charges.

6

Gate-Out & Report

Departures are logged automatically at the gate, and analytics reveal turnaround times and bottlenecks.

Key Components

Faster Turnaround

Automated check-in, direction, and dock scheduling move trucks through the yard faster, freeing capacity without new infrastructure.

Lower Detention Costs

Real-time dwell tracking flags trailers at risk of detention charges early, protecting margins on every load.

No More Yard Hunts

A live map of every trailer and container ends the time wasted searching the yard on foot and radio.

The yard is where hours quietly disappear — trailers arrive, park somewhere, and wait, while staff hunt them down on foot and detention charges tick up.

POXO’s RFID Yard Management System turns the yard into a live, managed space: trucks check in automatically at the gate, trailers are located in real time, docks are scheduled, and dwell time is watched for detention risk. Dispatch finally gets an accurate map of the whole yard — and it connects straight through to warehouse operations inside the dock door.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does this connect to our warehouse system?

Yard events — gate check-in, dock assignment, departure — sync to your WMS and TMS via API, so the yard and the warehouse work from one continuous flow rather than two disconnected steps.

What gets tagged — the truck or the trailer?

Typically trailers and containers carry RFID tags for in-yard location, while trucks are identified at the gate via windshield tags or ANPR — the system links them for full visibility.

How does it reduce detention charges?

By tracking exactly how long each trailer has been in the yard and alerting your team before a trailer crosses its detention threshold, so you can prioritise and act in time.
