PR Log (Press Release) – Nov 12, 2007 – BERKELEY - PINC Solutions, the leader in cost-effective real-time asset visibility technology, introduces the latest generation of Yard Hound™ Product Suite, a revolution in RTLS enabled yard management systems. Designed as a turnkey solution for rapid deployment without impacting ongoing operations, Yard Hound™ leverages low-cost passive RFID technologies to track the location and status of trailers in real time, trace the movements of yard trucks in the yard, and provide live information for all the yard activities via an intuitive, web-based application, accessible remotely, 24/7. The modular components of Yard Hound™ Product Suite include: pincGATE to produce automated electronic documentations of all traffic entering into and exiting from the yard, pincSPOTTER to provide real-time location information of the trailers and yard trucks, pincDIRECTOR to facilitate visual communication of task assignments to the yard truck drivers in the yard, pincREEFER to enable remote temperature and fuel-level monitoring of refrigerated trailers, as well as many other specialized components.
