Terminal Smart Yard™ YMS | Real-Time Yard Visibility & Autonomous Operations

Terminal SmartYard™ YMS

The Terminal Yard Operating System^TM (YOS) is more than just a YMS—it’s a full-spectrum solution connecting every yard operation, from the gate to the dock. At the heart of this platform is Terminal’s SmartYard^TM YMS, a modern, AI-powered system that delivers all the core functionality operators expect from a traditional YMS, but reimagined to do more, faster, and smarter.

AI Computer Vision-Powered Workflows

Leverage AI-driven computer vision to track every asset and event in real time. Eliminate manual inputs and RFID dependency, reducing errors and blind spots. SmartYard automates check-in and check-out, cutting gate processing times by up to 85%.

Full Automation and Orchestration

Unlike traditional YMS systems that optimize individual tasks, SmartYard orchestrates the entire yard workflow. Every event and asset is coordinated in a single, unified system, ensuring maximum efficiency and flow.

Modular and Configurable Platform

Built on a modern, AI/ML-first tech stack, SmartYard YMS is modular (use only what you need) and fully configurable to the forms, workflows, and operational rules of your unique operations.

Automated Gate Operations

From vehicle and trailer identification to full data capture, our AI automates the gate process. Drivers can self-service, and manual labor is minimized—bringing average check-in times to under two minutes.

Efficient Dock Scheduling

Organize inbound and outbound logistics with an intuitive scheduling tool. Enable carriers and customers to self-service appointments, smoothing yard operations and reducing dwell times by over 30%.

Real-Time Asset Visibility

Gain a single, unified view of all assets in your yard. Track location, status, and dwell time in real time, providing unparalleled visibility that traditional systems cannot match.

This is just the start. Terminal can expand into predictive maintenance and asset health, automated security and safety compliance, cross-dock/warehouse automation and intermodal/port operations, and more. Not a bolt-on, Terminal is the yard's operating system, using computer vision to drive efficiency, resilience, and smarts.

Agentic AI Worflows

Built AI-first where agents make optimized decisions.

Modular Deployments

Applies the modules that you need to optimize the movement of material through your yard.

Enterprise Visibility

A single pane of glass across all yards in your network.

AI Computer Vision

Computer Vision intelligence that reinvents how yards flow.

Advanced Yard Applications

Extends beyond traditional YMS systems with physical security, and more.

Event-Based Integrations

Integrates with core systems to keep your data and operations flowing.

Trailer Yard Management: Optimize Logistics with Smart YMS

Trailer yard management is a crucial link between highway transportation and warehouse operations. It coordinates the complex movement of assets that keeps North America's daily goods transport, worth over $50 billion, running smoothly. This is where trucks, trailers, and cargo come together—yet surprisingly, this area has been left out of the digital transformation that is affecting modern logistics.
