Benefits at a Glance

Dispatching of Shunting Vehicles

Digital assignment and automatic prioritization of shunting tasks — optimal resource utilization and faster trailer movements across the yard.

Shunting Dispatch

Structured and efficient dispatching of shunting vehicles

cadis® YM enables digital assignment and automatic prioritization of shunting tasks within the yard — ensuring optimal utilization of shunting resources and smoother yard flows at all times.

Shunting tasks are prioritized based on time sensitivity and operational rules, reducing empty moves and unnecessary repositioning of trailers and swap bodies.

  • Digital assignment of shunting tasks to drivers
  • Automatic prioritization based on time sensitivity and rules
  • Reduced empty moves and unnecessary shunting
  • Faster repositioning of trailers and swap bodies

Graphic Yard Visualization

Real-time visual overview of yard areas, gates and all vehicles — immediate identification of bottlenecks and idle capacity for yard supervisors.

A real-time visual overview of the entire yard — instantly

A core feature of cadis® YM is the graphical, real-time visualization of the yard layout. Yard supervisors get an instant operational overview — including gate occupancy, parked trailers and idle capacity — at a single glance.

  • Clear overview of yard areas, gates, docks and parked vehicles
  • Live status of gate and dock occupancy
  • Visual identification of bottlenecks and idle capacity
  • Instant operational overview for yard supervisors

Gate & Dock Optimization

Intelligent gate assignment immediately upon vehicle arrival — balanced gate occupancy, reduced congestion and faster turnaround times.

Optimal gate assignment from the moment a vehicle arrives

cadis® YM supports intelligent gate and dock utilization — assigning vehicles to the optimal gate upon arrival, balancing load across docks and eliminating the congestion and idle time that manual coordination creates.

  • Intelligent gate assignment immediately upon vehicle arrival
  • Balanced gate and dock occupancy across the yard
  • Reduced congestion and vehicle waiting times
  • Faster turnaround without additional infrastructure

Real-Time Yard & Trailer Visibility

All trailers, swap bodies and trucks visible at any time — location, status, availability and readiness for loading or departure.

Every vehicle and loading unit tracked at all times

cadis® YM delivers continuous real-time information on all loading units in the yard. The status, location and availability of every trailer, swap body and truck is visible — enabling proactive control and better planning decisions across the operation.

  • Status of all trailers, swap bodies and trucks on the yard
  • Location and movement tracking throughout the yard
  • Availability and readiness for loading or departure
  • Immediate identification of delays or deviations

End-to-end functionality

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed do eiusmod tempor incididun

cadis® YM covers the full yard lifecycle — from vehicle arrival at the gate to trailer departure and native integration with the CADIS platform.

Gate Operations

From the moment a vehicle arrives at the gate, cadis® YM takes control — assigning it to the optimal gate and initiating the yard process automatically. Waiting times are eliminated and gate occupancy is maximized.

  • Intelligent gate assignment immediately upon vehicle arrival
  • Balanced gate occupancy across the entire yard
  • Reliable fulfilment of documentation and compliance requirements
  • Real-time gate status visible to all relevant teams
  • Reduced congestion and vehicle queuing at entry points
Yard & Shunting Management

Full real-time control of yard movements — trailers, swap bodies and shunting vehicles tracked and managed from a single graphical overview. Shunting tasks are dispatched digitally and prioritized automatically.

  • Graphical, real-time visualization of yard areas and gate occupancy
  • Digital dispatching of shunting tasks with automatic prioritization
  • Reduced empty moves and unnecessary repositioning
  • Faster trailer movements and yard flow optimization
  • Visual identification of bottlenecks and idle capacity
Loading & Unloading Integration

cadis® YM digitally connects loading and unloading teams with yard and transport operations — eliminating manual handovers and miscommunication. Yard movements and loading processes are synchronized in real time, preventing incorrect or premature loading.

  • Seamless coordination between yard, gate and dock activities
  • Reduced manual handovers and miscommunication between teams
  • Better synchronization of vehicle movements and loading processes
  • Lower risk of incorrect or premature loading events
  • Higher operational reliability and process quality across the yard

Integration & Mobile Operations

cadis® YM is natively integrated within the CADIS ecosystem and connects yard operations with transport planning and execution. Shunters receive tasks via mobile app in real time — reducing radio communication and enabling immediate response to changes and exceptions.

  • Real-time task delivery to shunting drivers via cadisAPP
  • Status feedback directly from the yard — transparent and traceable
  • Reduced radio communication and manual coordination
  • Native connection to cadisCONTROL, cadisSTUDIO and CADIS Connect
  • Integration with host systems via CADIS Connect and standard APIs

Beyond real-time visibility and dispatching, cadis® YM covers every layer of yard coordination — from shunter communication to native integration with transport and execution systems.

Full yard control, from gate to dock

App-Based Communication with Shunters

Mobile Communication

cadis® YM integrates shunters directly into the digital process via mobile app — delivering tasks in real time, collecting status feedback from the yard and eliminating the inefficiencies of radio coordination.

  • Real-time task delivery to shunting drivers via cadisAPP
  • Status feedback directly from the yard — traceable and instant
  • Reduced radio communication and manual coordination effort
