Issues
A Yard is the critical interchange

point between manufacturing,
distribution, and transportation.
Failures in yard operations do have a

costly ripple effect across the systems they support.
Problems such as line shutdowns, theft, late deliveries, high demurrage costs, trailer shortages,
and spoiled cargo are just a few of the problems that can result from yard failures.
These problems are addressed through manual methods such as performing routine yard checks,
logging information about arriving and departing trailers at the gate, and recording each trailer
move within the yard.
Causes
Having up-to-the minute location and status information about yard equipment and parking slots
is essential to ensure smooth operations.
Manual processes lend themselves to data entry errors and tend to be untimely.
To compensate for unreliable information, companies typically keep a buffer stock of yard
equipment on hand to prevent equipment shortages.
This, in turn, leads to greater yard congestion, higher equipment expense, reduced equipment
utilization, and higher labor expenses associated with managing more equipment.

The yard management software has a positive effect on reducing the severity of common yard
problems, but even the most advanced software solutions are subject to error if they rely solely
on manual data input.
In a nutshell
Business Need
• Bottlenecks in real-time location of containers, leading to inefficient business processes
• Inoperable planning, resulting in heavy congestion in the container terminals causing

delays
• Underutilization of terminal capacity, due to lack of visibility of empty storage slots,

leading to loss of revenue
Our Solution
• A financially viable solution for automatically locating, tracking, and inventorying of

containers within a closed loop container terminal operation
• Web-enabled container tracking and monitoring system providing access to end

customers of the container terminal and with real-time information about the containers at
remote locations.
• Accurate and real-time data using a combination of advanced technologies like RFID,
GPS and GSM/GPRS
Ph no : (079) 4032 2219
Business Benefits
• Real time tracking of pallets and containers within the terminal
• Notify security and management personnel, when unscheduled movements occur
• Reduce cost and time for check-in and check-out as containers and pallets enter and leave
the terminal
• Total container visibility
• Full process control of container movement within the facility
• Reduces overall cost of operations
Solution
With RFID providing real-time visibility of all your yard activities, managing yard operations
becomes an integral part of your supply chain management practice which enables you to:
• Speed up gate processing
• Centralize appointment booking
• Manage your docks more effectively
• Clear up choke points
• Link with ERP, WMS and TMS
• Optimize switcher moves

Characteristics of an Enterprise class RFID platform
• Configurability
• Scalability for Future Growth
• 24/7 Availability
• Robustness
• Seamless Integration of real-world data and events with enterprise services
• Methodology for Selecting RFID app’s
• Measuring process improvements
System Implementation Plan
Phase I
ID In/Out
• Gate location identification and mapping with auto time stamp.
• Real time info of assets and slots matrics
• Some manual entries for slots and time lag fields
• Low capex and faster ROI.

All cargo/containers are tagged with advanced RF enabled sensors (Tag) when they enter the
ports boundary. The port boundary is implanted with RF based radio beckons (Location
Antenna), which can read/write to the container tags, to uniquely locate their position in two-
dimensional plane. In addition to locate their position, the RF based technology also helps any
vehicle mounted/personal PDA to navigate to the location (Vehicle Mount Computer). This is
very similar to a portable metal-detector where the location of the cargo/container is pinpointed
on a two dimensional plane.
Phase II
Real Time Location system (RTLS)
• Uses RFID antenna web design to cover yard profile
• Can be used with GPS for triangular location fixing with +/- 5 mtr accuracy
• Completely automated slot management and movement forecast application possible.

System Advantages
• Absence of Line of Sight

• Contact less - No wear and tear
• Writable - 10,000 to 1 million times
• Variety of Read Ranges - Location Tracking – Large Read Range
• Data Capacity - Store a unique identifier – increased network traffic
• System can be installed and run independently without relying on communication
network.
• Flexible access modes: support GSM modem and message gateway access modes
simultaneously, even customized message gateway access mode.
• Hardware installation and maintenance are simple. Software is easy to use.
System features
• Long reading range: tags can be detected within 50 meter range. There is no need to
slide cards or get into a small required area to make sure tag is detected. All
processing is automatic. We can see benefits clearly at rush hours.
• Anti-collision: up to 200 tags can be detected simultaneously.
• Support identification of fast moving objects with speed up to 200 kilometers.
• Work at globally free 2.45GHz ISM band.
• Applied channel isolation technology, no interferences between equipments.
• Customized microwave work modes, adjustable transmission power.
• Ultra-low power consumption and tag can work normally for more than five years.
• Anti-jamming capability, tolerance of interfering sources at the scene.
• Easy installation with built in antenna.
Ph no : (079) 4032 2219
Salient Software Features
• Samvith’s application is a browser-based, enterprise software application

which uses a powerful middleware engine to process the tag reads based on
pre-defined user rules. Tags are enrolled in the software which can include
unique historical data and schedules for inspections.
• Tag data is collected and presented as read on a screen when logged. The
software was easily interfaced to direct tag reads to the enterprise inventory
system at the database level, thereby improving the utility of the existing
enterprise system.
• Tag reads are also filtered against the pre-defined rule base for alarming.
Alarms or exception reporting can include emails or wireless messages to
address a particular condition
• Automatic and dynamic inventory counts are managed.
• Aggregate reports are available on-demand for containers (by type) and
locations.
• Also available in the system is an integrated digital video storage capability

automatically linked to each tag read. By clicking the tag transaction, stored
digital video of the tag event such as the container’s entry or exit is displayed.
