BERKELEY,
CA, September 10, 2009 – PINC Solutions, the leader in cost-effective
real-time asset visibility technology, announced today that Transfreight
has implemented PINC Solutions’ Yard Hound at its Toyota-dedicated
crossdocking facility and the adjacent manufacturing plant located
in Woodstock, Ontario. Yard Hound added automated real-time visibility
for asset tracking to an existing yard management and shunt control
solution.
PINC’s
innovative real-time location system utilizes passive RFID and
other wireless and sensor technologies to locate and track the
positions of assets in the yard in real time, ensuring the visibility
information for the yard is always up-to-date.
“We
are pleased to enable Transfreight to monitor and track their
yard assets in real-time utilizing our patented RTLS technology,”
said Aleks Gollu, CEO of PINC Solutions. “As a well-recognized
expert in the Toyota Production System (TPS), Erlanger, Kentucky-based
Transfreight engineers lean supply chains for top manufacturers
across North America. Our system helps further streamline the
yard operation by providing real-time, accurate information about
all activities associated with the assets while in the yard.”
With
PINC’s Yard Hound, users have access to the yard information
remotely anytime through secure web portals. Electronic records,
automated alerts and notifications, and customized reports about
our customer’s assets are also available. PINC’s customers
