The WCDAT Terminal Operator module provides a unified automation layer that connects vessel operations, gate movements, and yard activities through AI, IoT, and computer-vision-driven data collection.
It is designed to help container and bulk terminals achieve higher productivity, safety, and cost efficiency while integrating seamlessly with existing TOS and ERP environments.
Smart Automation for Every Operation Zone
- Gate Automation: Supports OCR-based container, truck, and driver recognition with barrier control and real-time validation against pre-approved truck appointments.
- Yard Equipment Monitoring: Integrates with PLCs and RTG/STS spreaders to capture lift, lock, and movement events — enabling real-time asset utilization tracking.
- Vessel Operations: Digitally monitors loading/unloading sequences and yard allocations to minimize re-handles and optimize vessel turnaround time.
- Inventory Synchronization: Provides live updates to TOS, Customs, and Shipping Line systems to ensure data consistency across all stakeholders.
AI-Driven Insights and Predictive Analytics
- Cycle-time and KPI Dashboards: Visualizes crane, gate, and yard performance through customizable Power BI dashboards for operational control rooms.
- Predictive Congestion Alerts: Uses machine learning to identify yard congestion trends and recommend re-stow or dispatch actions before bottlenecks occur.
- Automated Exception Handling: Detects anomalies such as mis-stowed containers, damaged units, or extended truck dwell time via computer vision and AI models.
Integrated Safety and Compliance
- Real-time Safety Alerts: Tracks personnel movement in restricted areas using CCTV analytics and sends alerts to control rooms or supervisors.
- Digital Permit-to-Work: Streamlines safety permits, contractor registration, and work validation through online workflows.
- Incident Logging & Reporting: Centralizes event records, corrective actions, and audit trails for compliance with ISPS and HSE standards.
Seamless System Integration
- Native connectors with Navis N4, TOS+, and in-house ERP platforms.
- API-ready architecture supporting REST and SOAP protocols for 3rd-party integrations.
- Modular deployment — start with Gate Automation or AI Analytics, then scale to full terminal digitalization.
WCDAT’s terminal solutions empower port operators to operate smarter, safer, and faster — building data-driven terminals ready for autonomous operations and integrated port communities.
