Traffic Control was designed for the long haul and to guide customers through years of operations. Equipment dispatchers and mobile client users will benefit from a modern user interface with clear visibility of moves and commands on client screens optimizing their productivity and performance.
Highly Configurable Setup
Setup filters, which group planned moves according to filter parameters and then determine how moves should be handled in the system. Modify list views, equipment information and other devices.
Prioritize Moves
Adaptable move priority system allows you to configure the system to determine the priority of container moves so that higher priority moves, such as vessel or rail moves, have precedence over other terminal moves.
Real-Time Updates
Real-time status updates occur in Traffic Control and related systems as soon as an equipment operator confirms a completed move or when an optionally deployed DGPS system automatically confirms the move.
Inventory Control
Real-Time inventory ensures you have up to date information about moves and handling equipment to increase efficiency and accuracy.
Intuitive User Interfaces
Crane and handling equipment with optional touch screen functionality eliminate the need for paper instructions, making it faster and more efficient to dispatch move instructions to operators.
Maximize Equipment Productivity
Equipment pooling increases equipment utilization against yard, rail, vessel, and gate operations by assigning equipment to zones.
What’s new with the next generation of Traffic Control?
A Modernized Architecture
The next generation of Traffic Control is built on a secure, cloud-enabled microservice architecture allowing for horizontal scalability, multi-tenancy, rapid deployment and full test automation. The microservice architecture also allows for redundant services increasing speed, efficiency and uptime of the system.
Web Deployable Mobile Clients
Web deployable mobile clients will integrate with your terminal’s active directory to tailor user actions, notifications, information display and user experience based on operational needs. Mobile client users will also be able to utilize clients on any device with a modern browser.
Standardized APIs
Integrate with a variety of third-party vendors using modern, standardized APIs for Position Detection (DGPS, RTLS), Equipment Control (ECS), Optical Character Recognition (OCR), Sensors (RFID), Inventory, and others.
Automated Performance Features
Monitor system performance metrics via messaging brokers and integrate with Tideworks Insight to gain valuable terminal operations performance data.
Redesigned Yard Manager Client
The newly designed Yard Manager client enables your terminal to easily customize every unique role within your operation.
