ONE PREFAB MOne Prefab StockyardES
Your warehouse, automated to the extent you need it to be
From QR code tracking to fully automated warehouse operations: One Prefab Stockyard integrates inventory management, transportation, and loading with production and scheduling—whether manually, fully automated, or both at the same time, depending on the component.
Any item that leaves the production line must be immediately traceable in the warehouse.
Stockyard combines inventory levels, transport status, and delivery dates in a single view—regardless of whether a component is stored manually or moved fully automatically.
Challenges and Solutions
When parts are moved one too many times—and in the end, the wrong one ends up running.
What Causes Friction in Many Works
- Components are marked as complete in the system, but are difficult to locate in the warehouse
- Storage locations are recorded manually or not documented at all
- Delivery dates and inventory are managed in separate systems
- The loading order depends on the individual's experience and knowledge
- Status updates between production, warehousing, and shipping are lost
What Stockyard Does for You
- Seamless tracking of every component via barcode/QR code all the way through to loading
- Real-time inventory overview on mobile devices
- Direct integration with ERP scheduling for on-time loading
- Expedited Check-in for Truck Drivers
- Manual and automated storage areas can be combined within the same system

Many areas of responsibility,
one system
From inventory management to automated loading—Stockyard covers every step between production and delivery. You use what you need and combine it with what you’ve already automated.
1. Inventory Management & Tracking
One Prefab Stockyard ensures that every prefabricated component in the warehouse can be located at any time. Using various tracking methods (barcode, QR code, RFID) and GPS tracking, each component is uniquely identified from production through loading, and its location in the warehouse is documented in real time.
This provides a reliable overview of inventory levels and storage locations—without the need for search lists or having to ask for confirmation on the warehouse floor.
- Barcode, QR Code, and RFID Tracking
- Precise Inventory Management
- GPS Logging for Seamless Location Data
- Mobile Data Entry via the SAA Stockyard App
- Real-Time Warehouse Location Overview
2. Transportation & Loading
Loading is often the bottleneck between a finished component and on-time delivery to the construction site. One Prefab Stockyard speeds up the check-in process for truck drivers and makes the transport status visible to everyone involved.
A delivery package rarely consists solely of the prefabricated component itself—it often includes additional rebar, assembly aids, or other accessories. The pre-picking process can be monitored directly through the mobile app, ensuring that everything is thoroughly checked to confirm that all items are prepared and included before loading onto the truck.
Flexible reallocations and a detailed inventory overview ensure that loading sequences are maintained even when changes occur at the last minute.
- Expedited Truck Check-in
- 3D Loading Planning with Axle Load Calculation
- Real-Time Transportation Management and Status
- Flexible Transfer Postings in the Warehouse
- Monitoring of Pre-Picking
- Quality checks performed directly during loading
3. Automated Warehouse Technology
Whether it’s individual label scanners or fully automated warehouse technology—cranes, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), or rail-guided systems—Stockyard covers the entire spectrum, not just sequentially but also in parallel: Standardized items can be moved and loaded fully automatically, while custom parts can still be handled manually in the same warehouse.
In combination with One Prefab Automation, the system controls cranes and loading systems in 24/7 operation—with full transparency into every step of the process, regardless of the degree of automation of the respective component.
- Scalable from manual to fully automated
- Crane, AGV, and rail-guided systems
- Manual and automated processes running in parallel
- Optimization for “just-in-time” loading
4. Integration & Scheduling
A warehouse is only as good as its integration with planning and production. One Prefab Stockyard is directly linked to the ERP scheduling system: delivery dates, waypoints, and assembly instructions are synchronized with actual inventory levels.
At the same time, Stockyard seamlessly imports the status of each item from the MES as soon as it leaves production—ensuring seamless traceability from the first step to the last.
- Integration with ERP and Assembly Planning
- Real-time inventory management across all systems
- Status Transfer from MES Through to Shipment
- ERP Integration for Automated Shipping Packages
SCALING & INTEGRATION
A warehouse that grows with your automation.
One Prefab Stockyard adapts to your current operations—and to the fact that different components have different requirements. Standardized mass-produced parts can be stored and loaded fully automatically, while custom parts are handled manually in the same facility. From simple label scanners to fully networked, automated warehouse technology, Stockyard integrates seamlessly into production, planning, and plant control.
- Modular Design: Start by scanning, then expand step by step
- Integration with existing cranes, loading systems, and vehicles
- Scalable from a single plant to a warehouse with multiple locations
- Manual and automated areas operating in parallel within the same warehouse, depending on the product
- Integrated data platform with ERP, MES, and automation
Support and Operations
A warehouse system thrives on continuous operation.
We don't just support you during the implementation. We're still here once the system is up and running.
