Container Terminal Operations

Sparcs Navis 3.6

 

1) Sparcs Navis is sophisticated and modern technology platform that optimizes power efficiency and intelligent movement of goods through container terminals around the world. Terminal next-generation operating system designed to offer unparalleled value and develop the terminal with the lowest cost ownership (TCO).N3 is a very sustainable technology platform and adaptable, allowing customers the flexibility and scalability they need to run their operations from a single terminal to multiple terminals across multiple geographic locations, all within a single instance. In operation at more than 90 sites worldwide, more than 125 total sites have committed to N3. 

Why are so many terminals choosing N3?

• Easy to support future growth while reducing operational overhead
• Integrate, deploy and administer more than a few sites
• Focus on creating a more unified IT strategy and integrated concept of growth
• Create a highly configurable solution
• Centralize back office administration
• Continue with the advancement of technology

Increasingly, container terminal around the world choose N3 as their terminal operating system. With more than 90 sites currently operating, N3 provides a technology platform that marine terminal operators have operating agile, profitable and successful in a competitive market.

In addition, N3 help terminal to:

• Improve Scalability - Navis terminal N3 scale businesses to optimize IT infrastructure and eliminate unnecessary upfront capital expenditure .

• Seamless Integration - N3 provides an open architecture enables the terminal to easily connect to existing systems and add new applications as business needs evolve.

• Simplify and Accelerate Implementation - Navis N3 accelerate implementation by configuring the operational and administrative processes that previously required by code - customization. Flexible configuration allows fast action and reduces implementation costs.

• Avoid Costly Customization - Navis N3 using business logic that is driven by a wide range of data to create a highly configurable solution, thereby avoiding many common adjustments required by TOS less flexible alternative.

• Reducing Administrative and Support Costs - The ability to provide a wide array N3 Navis , a single homogeneous system across its global operations , allowing you to standardize and centralize the hardware and software infrastructure , IT governance , and business functions common in some operations .

NavisPrime Route

As N3 module Navis SPARCS Prime Route allows optimal real-time routing, delivery and monitoring of straddle carriers, terminal tractors and other internal transport vehicles in a container terminal.
In traditional operations, its assets are specific to a single quay cranes and sent first - come - first-served basis in the order of the steps, loaded traveling in one direction and the other is empty. Inefficient operating methods of creating excess demand for equipment to match the capacity of the compound to the required level of productivity at the jetty.
Premier Pool Access straddle carriers and terminal tractors across a variety of job assignments to break them down into discrete “work - step “component, which allows for, delivery on time optimal equipment to work there. As a result, a number of straddle carriers and tractors are required to do the same amount of work while maintaining productivity, thereby lowering capital investment and variable costs for labor, fuel and maintenance.

Navis Expert Decking

 

 

For most terminals are conventional style meter planning is very time consuming, expensive and non-real-time. This makes it difficult for operators to increase the capacity of the terminal fore court and optimize terminal operations. Navis Expert meters close to automate planning, distributing containers across regions based on pre-defined business rules. This comprehensive module facilitates the provision of real-time meter, accurate and optimized container integrity on this page, and allows users to spend less time observing the provisions of meters and more time managing the area.
Navis close Experts consider the pages in real-time, dynamic assess the former, location; heap configurations and terminal business rules specific to the "best case" organize imports, exports and empty containers.

Navis Vessel Autostow 

 

 

Navis Vessel Autostow is an optimization module that automatically generates stow plans for the entire ship or by specific bay based on rules set by the ship planner and in compliance with vessel planning stowage strategy.

Vessel plans are traditionally created manually and with varying levels of expertise, open to human error and planning inconsistencies. Information sources can be disparate, with limited consideration of the operational environment and terminal constraints. These inefficiencies lead to extended planning times, unnecessary yard re-handles, crane delays, an inability to adapt quickly to scheduling and berthing changes and lower quayside productivity.

Navis Vessel Autos tow resolves these problems by combining stowage factors, like port of discharge and container length and weight with yard constraints and operating parameters to select an appropriate container to load. Ships are swiftly planned container-by-container, based on their assigned strategy set and estimated move times, determined by the order of work and associated crane rates.

Vessel Auto stow gives ports and terminals a competitive advantage over their neighbors with consistency and speed in planning, saving significant time during those critical operational periods and throughout the vessel planning phase.

Navis Monitor

 

Navis Monitor allows the terminal operator to monitor the performance of terminal operations. As Navis SPARCS N3 optimization modules, Navis Monitor to track the pulse of terminal operations to automatically display changes to key performance indicators (KPI) in real time. Navis Monitor will alert the operator to emerging issues before they affect productivity, assist with the optimization of the entire terminal.
Personal dashboards provide an in tuitive, unified view of relevant information customized to each employee. Terminal Manager can view KPI ship terminal width while planners can see the productivity statistics for a particular ship and crane associates. In this way, managers remain focused on operation sandless time searching for critical information
