Yard Management

Ubisense tracks the real–time position of work–in–progress across indoor and outdoor areas and keeps systems of record up–to–date

Are you looking for Transit Yard Management?

What issue does it address?

With high volumes of finished and unfinished product widely dispersed around site, it can be difficult to find and stage assets effectively. Time is often wasted searching for lost or forgotten WIP. Production resources are left idle waiting for their next job or movement waste is created by incorrect storage or staging of products.

These challenges can lead to:

  • Increased costs from inefficient use of space and resources
  • Delayed product completion and delivery schedules
  • Ageing work in progress at risk of damage or loss

  • Configure business-rules to guide colleagues and ensure processes and WIP are optimized

Create Alerts

In busy production facilities with high volumes or finished and unfinished products widely dispersed around site, WIP can be easily forgotten or lost, increasing the risk of damage or missed delivery schedules.

Ubisense Yard Management can automatically alert colleagues of misplaced or out-of-policy WIP.

  • Easily customizable alerts for ageing or misplaced products
  • Prompts for routing WIP with the option for capturing feedback notes directly in the system
