TRANSFORM YOUR YARD INTO A SMART LOGISTICS HUB

As global supply chains continue to evolve, the yard is emerging as a strategic control point for operational excellence. Real-time logistics expectations and increasing complexity across supply chains are accelerating the need for digital transformation. While many facilities still depend on manual check-ins, paper logs, and disconnected systems, the future belongs to organizations that embrace intelligent, connected yard operations.

 

By transforming outdated yards into smart logistics hubs, companies can unlock faster turnaround times, reduce dwell costs, and gain the agility needed to compete in a data-driven economy. Yet the yard of the future must be more than just efficient. It must be secure, adaptive, and integrated.

 

ABB Ability™ Logistic Insight is built to lead this evolution. Our vision is to empower logistics teams with a platform that not only streamlines yard operations today but also scales for the demands of tomorrow. With enterprise-grade security, real-time automation, and seamless integrations, ABB Logistic Insight helps organizations move from reactive management to predictive control, turning the yard into a competitive advantage, not a bottleneck.

HOW IT WORKS

ABB Ability™ Logistic Insight is a smart yard management platform designed to transform logistics operations through intelligent automation and real-time control. It automates the entire yard lifecycle, from driver check-in and license plate recognition to automatic bay allocation and order management system integration. Using an intuitive, no-code configuration interface, operational teams can adapt workflows and scheduling rules without technical expertise, while the platform's scalable architecture supports everything from single-site operations to international networks.

  1. Automatic yard operation

    ABB Logistic Insight automates the entire yard operation, from driver check-in via self-service kiosks and license plate recognition, to automatic bay allocation and seamless integration with order handling systems.

  2. Scalable for growth

    Adapt to market dynamics with automation in the energy sector. Our system intelligently adjusts power generation based on fuel and electricity price fluctuations. When external power costs rise, in-house generation is prioritized—maximizing savings through industrial energy optimization tools and smart technologies for energy systems.

  3. No-code configuration

    Achieve sustainable energy operations with scalable digital energy tools.
Closed-loop configurations automatically implement optimizer decisions by adjusting setpoints in real time. This ensures ideal operating conditions using solutions for power generation, while advisory mode provides insights without direct control—supporting digital platforms for energy operations and process automation in energy plants.

  4. Built-in enterprise-grade security

    ABB Logistic Insight offers robust data encryption, secure user authentication, audit trails, and compliance-ready controls. Its architecture is designed to meet stringent data protection standards, including NIS2, GDPR, and ISO 27001 requirements.
