Terminal Operating System
Key-part in the Supply Chain

Control the movement and storage

of various types of cargo in and
around a terminal or a port
Better use of:
• Assets
• Labour
• Planning workload
• information

Cost-Effective decision making

Gate operations:
TMS (truck management system)

• Pre-check:
• Order known
• Customs released
• Container already on the terminal?

• Time slot
• Avoid long waiting times
• Equipment planning
• EIR follow up
Invoice Module

Every handling and / or movement of goods or containers must be registered.

Depending on the contract, these may or may not be invoiced.
The registration of these extra handlings or movements can be done manually or automatically.
The invoice module captures these registrations and will invoice them automatically.

Fixed costs: Moves, Storage, …

Variable costs: VAS, labor, unproductivity times, breaks,…

KPI
Koen’s personal interest

Koen Cornilly
 Qualitative
KPI’s
Values based on or influenced by
personal feelings, tastes, or
opinions and presented as any
numeric or textual value that
represents an interpretation of
these elements.
Lagging
Measures an output, something
that has happened in the past. It
measures a result.
Quantitative
Facts without distortion from
personal feelings, prejudices, or
interpretations presented with a
specific value – objective- preferably
numeric measured against a standard.
Leading
Measures an input, or an enabler. It
measures an element that is
positively related to the achievement
of the corresponding lagging
indicator. it is a predictor, though
imperfect of the future state of
related lagging indicators

What are the traditional KPI’s of a container terminal?

• QC productivity:
gross, net • Gantries/vessel

• Unproductive times • Throughput

• Vessel turnaround • TEU/FTE

time
• CHE utilization rate
• Truck turnaround
time • Waiting time

• Space usage • Fuel consumption

• Berth occupancy - • Message processing

availability
• # Gangs
• Dwell time

Traditional KPI’s of a terminal (bulk)

Use of berth groups: when handling

different types of cargo
• Ship revenues related to berth group
• Cargo revenu related to berth group
• Berth occupancy revenue per ton of cargo
• Labour costs per berth group
• Capital equipment costs
Measuring is knowing

• Identify Process Flow (!) --- automation of bad processes

results in badly automated processes!
• Identify critical activity to measure
• Performance goals and standards
• Performance Measurement System
• Identify Responsible party - specific entity
• Collect data (SMART DATA)
• Analyze report actual performance
• Compare
• Make changes
• Determine if new goals necessary
• Dashboards!
Measuring is knowing
Can I improve operations?
Can I use this input for future
development?
Objective Set

Changing conditions: Labour

working rules
Adjust Calculate
• Trade develops
• Cargo handling technologies
Evaluate • Identify shifts in
cost/performance
• Early recognition (time laps)
Work on:

• Availability: range of services provided

within the port area, terminal;

• Speed: time taken to service ships and

cargo; ‘Customs flows’

• Reliability: consistency of port performance;

• Flexibility: ability to provide alternative

solutions when things go wrong;
Innovation

Nespresso what else?

Koen Cornilly
1956 McLean:

Frustrated by the inefficient

and slow process of loading /
unloading.

"Malcom revolutionized the

maritime industry in the 20th
century. His idea for
modernizing the loading and
unloading of ships”

Trailer ships converted to BOX

• Standardisation : Simplification aims at reducing

product complexity
• Improving quality
• Improving product reliability
• Maintaining technological leadership
• Reducing processing and manufacturing costs
• Gaining competitive edge, …
OCR: Optical Character Recognition

In port-related environments OCR is usually used to

optimize gate, rail, crane and yard operations.

This ensures fast and accurate processing of containers

and goods at terminal entry and exit as well as during
handling with a limited use of resources.
OCR: Truck
Truck:
Automates the processing and validation of truck and container
data. The OCR portals scans all in- and outbound trucks and
trailers. This allows an automatically detection and capturing of
container data:

Collected data are:

• Container number (s)
• ISO-codes
• Trailer number
• License plate
• Chasis numbers
• IMDG dangerous goods labels
• Door direction
• Container position
• Damage
OCR: Rail
Rail OCR provides a solution for remote visual inspection and
automatic identification of containers and railcars.

Collected data are:

• Container number
• ISO Code
• Non-ISO container number
• Railcar and chasis number
• IMDG and seal presence
• Door direction
OCR: Crane
Crane OCR identifies containers during loading and discharge,
without interrupting or slowing down crane operations*.

Collected data are:

Container number
ISO code
Seal presence
IMDG label
Door direction

(*) KPI 3 phases!

Geofences
Geofencing
Use of Geofencing in Port related environments:

• Track Vehicle or Heavy equipment's.

• Anti-thief for 24 hours a day.
• Emergency for help.
• Management: Car, Taxi, Truck, Special vehicles.
• Dangerous area’s (safety security)
• Blocked area’s
• Dwell calculation
• Cargo handling (passing certain area’s)
• Personal safety
• Equipment control
