CargoSprint Deploys Dynamic Yard Management System at Multiple U.S. Marine Terminals

en.Wedoany.com Reported - On November 11, U.S. freight technology company CargoSprint announced that its Dynamic Yard Management (DSM) module has been put into use at several major U.S. marine terminal operators. The module is integrated into the company's eModal Pre-Gate appointment platform. By acquiring real-time container status and yard location information, it coordinates truck gate appointments with terminal yard operations, optimizes import container pickup scheduling, and reduces container rehandling and truck dwell time at ports.

The core of DSM is to connect gate appointments and yard dispatching, which have traditionally been relatively independent. The system continuously exchanges data with terminal operating systems, adjusting available appointment slots based on container lifecycle information, current status, and yard location, so that truck arrival times match the actual conditions for container pickup. Terminals can dynamically adjust appointment schedules in response to changes in yard operations, reducing situations where vehicles wait for containers to be relocated after arriving at the port.

In actual operations, container location and surrounding stacking conditions affect pickup efficiency. If the appointment system schedules vehicles solely based on gate processing capacity without simultaneously considering yard operation status, it can easily lead to concentrated truck arrivals, repeated container moves, and equipment waiting. DSM, through the linkage between the appointment system and yard data, enables terminals to comprehensively consider container location and pickup conditions before scheduling vehicles to enter the terminal.

The module is currently offered as an add-on feature of the eModal Pre-Gate platform and can be configured according to different terminals' operating rules. At this stage, it supports Rubber-Tired Gantry (RTG) yard operation modes. CargoSprint stated that the system architecture also reserves the capability to expand to other terminal equipment and operating modes.

In addition to appointment scheduling, the eModal platform also provides functions such as container status tracking, fee payment, and gate transaction information management. DSM works in conjunction with these functions to enable terminal operators, freight forwarders, and trucking companies to arrange pickup operations based on container status.
