How does Yard Management using IoT work?

The Yard Management System works using both asset and people tracking tags. The trucks and trailers as well as the drivers are assigned tags to identify them. They are tracked by communicating their locations to gateways placed at different planned points. This tracking happens in an intermittent manner and these traces are maintained. The gateways act as markers to identify where the asset currently is placed. The gateways are connected to the cloud-based or a central server and they keep sending the track and trace data. As the trucks and trailers Check-In through as well as go to parking spaces or dock to the door assigned the movements to get traced and marked.
