Challenges
with logistics processes and volume accounting

The operation of tank storages is a demanding task that poses numerous challenges - especially with regard to logistics processes and volume accounting. The flawless loading of fuels or chemicals requires absolute accuracy in inventory management, efficient coordination, and scrupulous compliance with current regulations and safety standards. This involves an enormous amount of work: Time slots must be meticulously planned and communicated, gauges read and entered by hand, countless papers filled out and managed. High workloads and cost-intensive errors are the consequences. Put an end to manual processes and tedious paperwork: by implementing automated systems, you and your employees save a lot of time, money and nerves!

  • Time-consuming administration of all documents

  • Language barriers in international transports

  • Manual processes are error-prone and cost-intensive

  • Unstructured processes slow down the loading process

  • No overview of internal logistics processes

Frequently asked questions

Warehouse Management refers to the planning, control and monitoring of warehouse activities. A warehouse management system (WMS) supports the entire warehouse management process - from the arrival of goods to storage and quantity accounting. The software-based solution also offers functions for inventory control, report generation or optimization of warehouse processes. A WMS helps to increase efficiency in the warehouse, reduce errors, better control inventories, make optimal use of capacities and increase customer satisfaction.

Yard management (also known as parking space management, depot management or yard management) plans, manages and controls all activities on the plant premises. This includes the monitoring of arrivals and departures, the management of parking spaces and parking areas, the allocation of loading facilities and loading ramps, the planning of loading and unloading, the communication with carriers or the preparation of reports and analyses. With the help of a yard management system (YMS), traffic movements can be optimized, bottlenecks avoided and productivity increased.

The areas of Yard Management and Warehouse Management are closely linked. While the Warehouse Management System is used to optimally manage warehouse inventories, the Yard Management System is responsible for planning, controlling and monitoring all activities on the premises. By using both systems, all processes can be seamlessly coordinated.

The data provided to the driver as part of the Yard Management System (YMS) is transmitted via an interface to the on-board unit of the tank truck (TKW). This includes information such as the allocation of remote time windows and loading gates, product information or route descriptions.
