At their first Thanksgiving meal in 1621, pilgrims and local tribes members dived into a turkey and pumpkin pie, caught a football game and woke up early the next day to catch some Black Friday sales. Well, no! Not even the turkey and pumpkin pie part. In fact, Thanksgiving Day wasn’t even regularly celebrated until 140 years later. When even traditions change, it’s safe to assume that everything else can change too.

Automated material handling systems reduce—and sometimes eliminate—the need for human intervention in industrial tasks. Plain and simple. When “touches”—human intervention—are reduced, costs are significantly impacted. These costs are often hidden, but once removed drop directly to bottom line profitability. It’s for this reason that increasing numbers of industrial organizations are electing to automate as a means to minimize manufacturing costs by reducing human involvement.

Many software vendors offer a version of a Yard Management System (YMS) as an extension to their Warehouse Management System (WMS). They typically define the YMS requirements from the warehouse perspective and only care about locating a trailer and moving it to a dock door. They often position the YMS as a sub-component of their WMS, thereby limiting the operational value that a YMS can provide.
