Optimising Yard Management in Automobile Manufacturing

Efficient yard management plays a critical role in the success of automobile manufacturers, especially when dealing with vast volumes of vehicles. Traditional methods of managing vehicle yards—relying on manual processes, spreadsheets, or outdated tracking systems—can result in slow search times, higher operational costs, and compromised security. JioThings Asset Tracking solution is a transformative approach that leverages real-time data and automation to revolutionise yard management.

The challenges of traditional yard management

Automobile manufacturers face numerous challenges in managing their vehicle yards efficiently:

• Prolonged search times: Locating a specific vehicle in a sprawling yard can take hours with manual methods.
• Increased costs: Inefficiencies drive up labour and fuel costs, while delays in dispatch can impact customer satisfaction.
• Security concerns: Unauthorised vehicle movement or theft can occur unnoticed in large, unmonitored spaces.

To address these issues, manufacturers need a solution that offers real-time visibility, seamless communication, and centralised control.

How JioThings Asset Tracking solution works

JioThings Asset Tracking Solution employs a combination of cutting-edge technologies—GPS tracking, geofencing, and centralised dashboards—to optimise yard operations.

1. Vehicle tagging and monitoring: Vehicles in the yard are tagged with rugged, NB-IoT-enabled tracking devices that report their real-time location and status to the JioThings platform.
2. Centralised control: The system provides managers with a unified dashboard to monitor vehicle locations, automate inventory updates, and track yard operations.
3. Geofencing and alerts: Custom geofences can be set up to monitor specific zones. Any unauthorised vehicle movement triggers immediate alerts, ensuring swift action.

With these capabilities, JioThings reduces search times by up to 30%, streamlines workflows, and ensures tighter control over assets.
