| 摘要： | By orchestrating trucks, trailers and other vehicles moving in and out of the warehouse or distribution center (DC) yard, yard management systems (YMS) help expedite traffic, improve inventory management and provide real-time location information for assets out in the yard. They digitalize a process once done using clipboards, paper, and handheld radios, and work in sync with warehouse management systems (WMS) and transportation management systems (TMS) to support fast, accurate tracking of both trailers and their contents. For any shipper not using YMS prior to the pandemic, the COVID-19 outbreak and subsequent business changes put a brighter spotlight on this "black hole" of the supply chain. As e-commerce sales rose in the double digits, the truck driver shortage deepened and social distancing became necessary, companies began looking for ways to automate more aspects of their warehouses, yards and transportation networks. |
