Hyundai Motor America’s stack is connected. The yards never were.
Your TMS runs the road. Your WMS runs the building. The yards are the tier between them, and they were never on the network.
Every truck gets re-keyed, re-queued, and re-found at each step. The lost time lives between the steps, which is why no single tool ever fixed it. The audit below is that gap, measured on your real yards.
A real audited site, played gate→dock→exit on the true yard geometry. Switch sites with the picker.
Mobis Parts America PDC - Jamesburg NJ
Driver rolls past the gate, looks for instructions on where to drop.
Movement durations are honest floors set by yard geometry; the uplift lands on the wait fields (queue + dispatch + secondary checkpoints). “Today” timings reflect the radios-and-clipboards world; “With YardFlow” reflects the protocol acting end-to-end. We may be wrong about parts of this, your actual numbers will tell us where.
What the handoffs cost across your network, and what removing them is worth
Read from satellite + Street View across all 16 facilities. At a comparable network, Primo Brands cut drop-and-hook turns from ~48 to ~24 min. Set your real volumes and margins in the calculator to put a number on it.
What surprised us reading Hyundai Motor America’s network
Three patterns held across the sites we sampled. None of them show up on a facility list. All of them change how the yard runs.
- 01
HMGMA Ellabell GA is 2,900 acres of greenfield EV manufacturing. Largest single auto investment in NA history.
- 02
15,088 trailer spots across the 16 audited sites. Hyundai parks more trailers per site than any auto OEM audited.
- 03
Glovis Brunswick GA is 1,627 acres of port vehicle processing. Hyundai owns the port and the plant.
