Why is it good?

GLABs TSM

This module allows partners to easily register their vehicles for container pick-up or drop-off, enabling the planning of truck traffic at the terminal.

With pre-registration, terminal management can:

Limit the number of vehicles arriving at the same time
Regulate container drop-off and pick-up periods, i.e., opening hours
Set specific container drop-off or pick-up times or intervals
Integration with intermodal terminal management software can link registration to the transport order

GLABs YARD

The YARD Management module simplifies the direction and logging of trucks from their arrival to departure at the terminal:

Entry and exit management
Arrival processing
Digital direction of trucks within the terminal area (truck parking, loading areas, document issue points)
Management of entry permissions for waiting and loading areas
Traffic logging
Loading status management
Automation of truck direction

License Plate Recognition System (ANPR)

Automatic entry and exit
Vehicles arriving at the intermodal terminal can automatically enter and exit the site through automatic license plate recognition and associated permission management.

Onsite direction
License plate recognition cameras,

supplemented by outdoor informational displays, efficiently support the movement of drivers within the terminal area
automatic barriers effectively control the movement of trucks heading for loading on the premises

Self Check-in kiosk

Drivers arriving at the intermodal terminal can register or check in for loading at the Self Service Check-in Kiosk if not done in advance. The check-in process can also be linked to viewing and accepting the terminal’s health and safety and security guidelines, effectively improving personnel and asset security at the intermodal terminal.

Hardware Integrations

OCR Gate Integration
Logging the data of trucks passing through the OCR gate entering or leaving the terminal in the GLABs Yard management module, reading and logging data of containers and other shipments.
Weighbridge Integration
The entry and exit process can also be supplemented with a digital automatic weighbridge, thereby recording the weight of vehicles upon entry/exit.
