A Real-Time Terminal Operating System (referred to as TOS) is a control system that allows you to see, control all operations within a port or a terminal facility.
TOS is an integral part of the terminal operations, including yard management, berth management, vessel management, crane allocation, other processes. It controls movements within port (subsequent, related territories) and facilitate load/unload operations within terminal (yard).
A Real-Time Operating System improves port working processes' efficiency by accommodating asset, labor, equipment management. As the name suggests, information is processed in real-time between client, server. A good TOS should be lag-free to eliminate delays and improve terminal's operational efficiency. In addition to that, TOS is a stand-alone system that automates various processes. For example, TOS will allocate containers to storage spaces. It will supervise working queues to make sure that two containers won't be appointed to one place.
TOS is compatible with other technologies, such as the Internet, cloud technologies, EDI processing, RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification), wireless LANs, mobile devices. This system is fully integrated into all working processes so that authorized personnel can see another person's activity in a matter of seconds.
TOS accumulates all data from terminal to a central database. Database can compile reports that include cargo status, location of staff and vehicles, as well as other supporting data. TOS can execute various tasks, ensures the efficiency of other integral systems. It continually monitors different operations, including yard management, vessel management, container handling equipment management, gates and terminal’s.
To sum up, Real-Time Terminal Operating System is an essential part of the port's operational processes.
