"Kenco wants to use drones for managing real-time data gathering in outside yard operations. PINC’s patented RTLS sensor platform captures locations of assets and inventory, and can provide up-to-the-minute information that would allow Kenco to customize and segment yard operations based on customer needs and business rules."
"With PINC, we have been able to scale to more than 800 trailer visits per day."
"PINC automates many of the yard management processes that were done manually. By using their system, we are able to keep track of our assets in the yard at all times, and share the information through a web-based interface. With a minimal amount of capital investment and virtually no disruption to our Distribution Center operation, we have improved our yard operation efficiency and cut costs."
"PINC allows us to receive an ASN, and we also upload any number of file types and match those files with trailer arrival times into the yard."
"It was really important that the solution be able to grow with us as our business continued to grow and change. Upon review of PINC’s proposal, our project team considered their hosted YMS solution as being truly the ‘best in class’ in each of our evaluation areas."
"When trailers are getting pulled at a high rate of speed, by the time you perform a yard check for 1,000 trailers, the whole yard has changed. We wanted a very flexible, robust system that would give visibility, KPIs, and tracking to know exactly what parts and what containers were in which location at any given time."
“Really, the hard savings for us was easy and included the reduction in trailers, fewer yard drivers, reduction of fuel consumption, and the elimination of cell phones.”
"PINC pays for itself within the first year."
"We did some research, visited several sites, and spoke to our peers that were already using a YMS, from that process, we selected PINC’s YMS."
"We’re sending messages right through the platform, so we no longer have to use a cell phone or a radio."
“Navis is a very sharp company and i don't say that lightly i think they're way ahead of the curve compared to the other tos providers and i don't think anyone's going to wind up catching them for quite some time. I'm glad that we made the right choice for our terminal operating system -- navis.”
"Visibility into container locations boosts our operating efficiencies...our customers have a clear windown into our operations."
“[Kaleris] provides us with the added benefit of ‘Big Data’ needed to manage our entire supply chain operations efficiently.”
"The main reason for choosing n4 is that it is integrated to the equipment control system. The strength of having an integrated solution – kalmar on one hand and navis on the other -- was a strong selling point for us. Of course, the other was the depth of experience in automation."
"Navis N4 2.3 has delivered long term successes in rdp operations. As a tos it has time and time again proven to be scalable, easily adaptable on physical and virtual servers, robust, and able to cater to all needs of rail operations easily."
