Intelligent TOS Core INSIde

Whether you operate a bimodal or trimodal facility, rely on highly automated processes, or manage operations with manual workflows, our modular TOS adapts to your specific requirements. 
We work with you to configure the right combination of functionality, automation, and optimization to support your operational goals today and future growth tomorrow.

Intelligent Yard Control

At the heart of our TOS, an AI-powered yard controller continuously determines the optimal storage location for every unit based on cargo type, dwell time, outbound mode of transport, and real-time yard conditions. This intelligent base minimizes rehandles and maximizes throughput.

Administrative Features

Simplify administrative processes with digital self-service booking, real-time visibility, and automated tracking of terminal movements, enabling accurate invoicing.

Control Every Area of Your Terminal

The Intelligent TOS Core is complemented by operational controllers that manage every key area of your terminal. The solution is configured to fit your operational needs from day one, with specialized modules such as Barge Control available whenever required.

Gate Control

Digitize gate operations with transparent check-in check-out processes, and optimized assignment of truck handover points to eliminate bottlenecks right at the forefront.

Vehicle & Crane Control

Assign jobs, sequence and schedule all types and automation levels of horizontal equipment and cranes in real time to maximize productivity and keep operations running smoothly.

Barge Control

Plan, coordinate, and execute barge operations efficiently from berth allocation to loading and unloading activities.

Rail Control

Manage train schedules, track occupancy, wagon master data, and loading activities from a single platform while maximizing rail capacity and operational reliability.

AI Upgrade:
the best decisions 
at any time

Enhance your TOS with our AI-powered optimizers that continuously analyze terminal operations in real- time. As your terminal evolves, add intelligent decision support to increase automation and turn operational data into the best decision at any time.

Vehicle Optimizer

Continuously optimize transport execution by responding to real-time operational changes and terminal priorities. AI dynamically assigns and sequences transport jobs to maximize vehicle utilization in both autonomous and manually operated fleets.

Train Load Optimizer

Generate optimized train loading plans at the push of a button. AI automatically considers loading regulations, operational restrictions, and real-time conditions to create executable loading plans within seconds.

Crane Optimizer

Continuously optimize crane operations by coordinating cranes, yard activities, and transport equipment in real time. AI dynamically generates and adjusts crane work orders to maintain a smooth operational flow in both automated and manual environments.

Rail Scheduler

Continuously optimize rail operations by coordinating resources, equipment, and rail activities in real time. AI dynamically balances workloads and schedules to maximize rail capacity and maintain reliable terminal operations.
