Advantages of FlexYard SAP Yard Management for the chemical industry
Dangerous goods inspection
In the chemical industry, there are many products and substances that are subject to the European directive for dangerous goods controls on the road (ADR: Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road). FlexYard therefore offers the function of carrying out system-guided ADR checks. So you are always on the safe side.

Success Story
Follmann Chemie GmbH
Chemical industry
Step 1: Time slot planning
The first yard-relevant step at Follmann Chemie is to book the time slot for the delivery. Follmann Chemie relies on SAP EWM DAS (Dock Appointment Scheduling) for this. All time slots are managed here. This is no problem with FlexYard, because our system is designed to work seamlessly with SAP EWM. This means that the data from the DAS is transferred directly to FlexYard and can be further processed there.
Step 2: Registration at the terminal
Next, the driver arrives at the plant. Here he has the opportunity to register via a self-service terminal. After selecting their language using the button with the national flag, they enter all relevant information such as the vehicle number and load data. This registration at the yard terminal enables efficient and secure access by ensuring clear identification and tracking of vehicles and freight.
Step 3: Safety instruction at the terminal
In the next step, the driver undergoes a detailed safety briefing. This ensures that the driver behaves correctly on the site and has been made aware of all the dangers.
Step 4: Terror control
If it is stored in the transport unit in the leading SAP system that the truck contains goods subject to terror checks, the terror check is automatically inserted into the process flow. In this case, an employee checks the driver directly in the system.
Step 5: Loading & unloading
The truck can now be unloaded and/or loaded accordingly. FlexYard offers seamless integration into SAP EWM here. This allows the process to switch seamlessly between the two systems.
Step 6: ADR control
If the truck has been loaded with goods subject to ADR, the “ADR check” process is automatically inserted. Here, the shipper checks the entire truck and driver using a system-guided checklist.
Step 7: Exit
Finally, the LWK can leave the site again through the barrier. The status of the process is automatically set to Completed and the process ends.
Step 8: Evaluation
The entire yard processes are monitored and controlled using cockpits, control stations and mobile apps. All data is stored in the SAP system and can be called up in real time or subsequently analyzed in order to make optimizations.
