A CLASSIC PORT TERMINAL WITH A PALETTE OF PROBLEMS

Inefficient utilization of silos and low elevator turnover due to a lack of accurate real-time inventory data.

Schedule instability and the inability of terminals to cope with peak loads. Warehouses and infrastructure are used inefficiently.

Inefficient port usage planning leads to demurrage and high operational costs.

Low real-time control over batch processing and the inability to display current, reliable information. The system is operating blind.

Unstable flows and transshipment due to chaos lead to increased losses during storage.

Inefficient operations and downtime directly lead to increased energy costs and a higher cost price for every transshipped ton.

THE PRICE OF DOWNTIME?

Possible losses for the terminal depending on the number of delayed vessels.

  • Vessel and barge demurrage.
  • Low Utilization Rate of lines.
  • Double Handling.
  • Emergency equipment downtime.
  • Increased energy costs and infrastructure wear and tear.
  • Downtime due to a lack of reliable inventory data.
  • Operational planning errors and manual switching

Conclusion: Internal and operational causes of inefficiency can be identified and eliminated.
