Yard Management
Yard Management extends warehouse execution beyond the four walls to control trucks, trailers, and yard bins across check-in, spotting, loading/unloading, and check-out. This topic covers EWM Yard Management concepts, master data and configuration, integration with inbound/outbound processes and transportation, RF-based execution, monitoring, and deployment differences across Embedded and Decentralized EWM.
