YARD PLACEMENT & MOVE JOBS

Every unit in the right slot. Every move a job.

Place units by rule and turn every reposition, load, and unload into a dispatched move job, sent straight to your reach-stacker and crane operators, with a live yard the back office can see.

CAPABILITIES

Win productivity on the ground.

Check trucks in and out on one platform: validated steps, mandatory photos and signatures, and a live gate the back office can see in real time.

Placement

Rule-based placement, not guesswork.

Every unit gets a storage location by rule at gate-in — by unit type, customer, dangerous goods, FIFO for empties, or siding — automatically, or assigned by a planner. Like stays with like, and fast-movers stay reachable.

Live parking utilisation shows total spaces, occupied slots, and utilisation rate, so planners see capacity before they commit the next unit — and the next move stays short.

Auto or manual, by type, customer, dangerous goods, FIFO, and siding.

Move jobs

Every move a dispatched job.

Every reposition, load, and unload becomes a move job — origin, destination, equipment, and priority — that lands on the reach-stacker and crane operators’ mobile screens in real time, not over the radio. Shunter workflows cover loading with plan checks, unloading with position documentation, train composition, and replenishment, and units are auto-allocated to wagons so the plan and the yard stay in step.

Move-job dispatch to equipment

Jobs sent to reach-stacker and crane operators with priority, in real time.

Shunter mobile workflows

Loading, unloading, train composition, and replenishment on role-based screens.

Unit-to-wagon auto-allocation

Units allocated to wagons from the plan, so composition is right first time.

Yard visibility

See the whole yard, block the wrong move.

The whole yard is visible in real time — parking utilisation, company-filtered unit overviews, and Wagon Loader status tabs (Gate-In, Plan, Backup, Loaded) aligned with the back office.

Before any load, back-office plan-checks validate capacity, dangerous goods and out-of-gauge, allowed units, and holds — and hard-block on errors, so mistakes are caught on screen, not on the track.

Capacity, DG/OD, allowed units, and holds validated before every load.

How does TOS decide where a unit goes?

By rule, at gate-in — based on unit type, customer, dangerous goods, FIFO for empties, and sidings, automatically or by a planner. Live parking utilisation shows capacity before the unit is committed.

What is a move job?

A dispatched instruction for a physical move — origin, destination, equipment, and priority. Repositions, loads, and unloads all become move jobs that land on the operator’s mobile screen in real time, replacing radio calls.

What can shunters do on mobile?

Loading with plan checks, unloading with position documentation, train composition, and replenishment — on role-based screens that sync in real time with the back office.

How does it stop the wrong move?

Back-office plan-checks validate capacity, dangerous goods and out-of-gauge, allowed units, and holds before every load, and hard-block on errors. Units are auto-allocated to wagons so composition stays correct.

How does the yard connect to the rest of TOS?

Placement flows from truck check-in, move data updates the portal and Wagon Loader status, and the same units feed train loading and unloading and billing.

Truck Check-In & Check-Out

The gate feeds the yard — every unit that checks in gets placed by rule and enters the move queue automatically.

Train Loading & Unloading

Plan-checked loading and unloading with wagon position and timestamps, from the same units that entered at the gate.

Damage Reports & Sign-on-Glass

Capture damage with photos at the barrier and require a mandatory digital signature on every gate move, with a full audit trail.
