Abstract

In the last years strict quarantine regulations and the associated supply chain disturbances have changed the usual business processes, especially increasing logistics costs. In a pandemic environment, the rapid trend to online sales, and with it, the increase of turnover, have forced companies, especially logistics service providers, to look for solutions, which allow fast and accurate recognition of goods and establish the continuous control of material flow in all steps of the supply chain. One of the major problems in this field represents the lack of integration of yard, warehouse and transport management systems (YMS, WMS and TMS correspondingly), that results in schedule disturbances and uncontrolled material flow inside of a yard of logistics service providers. The goal of our work is to improve the YMS, obtaining new data about the status of the material flow object inside the yard of logistics complexes, using a universal RFID-based logistics complex model, which allows better integration of YMS with the WMS and TMS. Firstly, we provide a theoretical background of YMS and set up of the universal RFID-based logistics complex model. Then the model is mirrored in the software package AnyLogic, where three possible scenarios of transport vehicle identification are shown. Finally, the results and outlook of possible future research are presented.
