Complete Yard Management Ecosystem

Hardware + Software working together

From arrival to departure — automate your entire yard with integrated cameras, barriers, displays, kiosks, and real-time monitoring.

End-to-End Yard Automation

Time Slot Control's yard management combines software intelligence with purpose-built hardware to eliminate manual processes, reduce waiting times, and provide complete visibility across your facility.

How It Works

1

Arrival

LPR camera reads the license plate and matches it to a reservation automatically.

2

Identification

Barrier opens automatically for confirmed reservations. Unplanned arrivals use the self-service kiosk.

3

Assignment

LED outdoor display panel guides the driver to the assigned gate. SMS/pager notification sent via Call-to-Gate.

4

Handling

Slot Monitor at the dock shows real-time order details to warehouse staff. Vehicle weighing records entry/exit weights.

5

Departure

System records departure time. Cross-dock module can automatically create follow-up reservations at the next facility.
