4. Solvo.TOS Architecture

5. Interaction between Solvo.DMS and Solvo.CTMS
The planning of container transshipments and service providing operations is carried out in Solvo.DMS. Then all the data necessary for executing the work is sent to Solvo.CTMS. The actual terminal operation execution is done under Solvo.CTMS, and all the resulting data is then sent to Solvo.DMS for tracking.

6. How Solvo.TOS Subsystems Interact
Solvo.TOS container terminal information system comprises two basic modules:
Solvo.DMS The Document Management System automates the processing and archiving of documents related to containers and vehicles, the reports generation, and all other required operations with documentation.
Solvo.CTMS The Container Terminal Management System enables the time-efficient scheduling, execution and control of all operations at the terminal

7. Integrated Solution Modules

8. Solvo.TOS Hardware Architecture1
APPLICATION SERVER
The application server runs the job planner designed to process operative events, to optimize jobs to shift containers, and to send jobs to terminal workers (container acceptance workers, container truck drivers, dispatchers, etc.). 2
DATABASE SERVER
The database server runs DBMS that stores all information used by the system. 3
STATIONARY WORKPLACES
Automated dispatcher workplaces are run on client work stations integrated with both the application server and the database server. The dispatcher is provided with a set of visual instruments that allow him/her to monitor the operative situation at the terminal, make decisions, resolve problems, plan jobs, configure the planning system. 4
RADIOTERMINAL-BASED WORKPLACES
Automated radioterminal-based workplaces provide workers with text-graphical forms designed to minimize the manual data input and to prevent input errors while working with radio equipment.

9. Commercial Streamline Management

10. Contracts and Documents

11. Contracts and Documents
Data Exchange (UN/EDIFACT):
CODECO – Confirmation of entry to, or departure from, the terminal of containers via motor or railroad vehicles
CUSCAR – Import cargo manifests (bills of lading)
BAPLIE – Unloading list, and container shipboard placement map (export and import)
COPRAR – Loading list

12. Service Rendering (Operation Execution)

13. Payment Calculation for Rendered Services

17. Container Terminal Topology Editor
The container terminal topology can be changed in the topology editor included in the system.

18. Container Terminal Topology Editor
Each container can be viewed for details and its location within the terminal.

19. Vessel Operations

20. Shipboard Cargo Plan
Each vessel’s cargo plan can be created by means of a special editor.

21. Receiving Containers Imported by Vessels

22. Vessel Entry Plan Maintenance
Information on containers to unload and the vessel entry plan are transmitted from the service center to the container terminal.

23. Unloading Planning
The system allows to make an container unloading plan. The unloading plan is transmitted to the crane operator.

24. Unloading Containers from Vessel
Various schemes for unloading containers from the vessel and putting them away to the warehouse are supported in the system.

25. Container Registration by Tallymen
Tallymen perform the registration of containers in the system using radioterminals.

26. Containers Putaway
After the container registration is completed by the tallyman, the system searches for a free location to place the container based on placing rules and strategies.

27. Reloading Equipment Management
The system supports all types of reloading equipment used at the terminal.

28. Containers Allocation
The system issues a work to vehicle operators to place the container in the specified cell.

29. REF Site Management
The system sends works to the refrigerator operator to connect/disconnect REF-containers.

30. RTG Rows Blocking
The system blocks the allocation of containers in cells and rows in RTG stack if the row has any containers to move.

31. GPS Integration
Containers are allocated at the terminal with the use of GPS and container pick-up sensors.

32. Konecranes C-Pics and Kalmar Smartrail Integration
SOLVO.CTMS integrates with vehicle-born positioning systems via RS-232.

33. Export Containers Forwarding by Vessels

34. Load Planning

35. Load Planning
SOLVO.CTMS performs automatic planning of shipments by types, weight classes and hazard classes.

36. Loading Container to Vessel
SOLVO.CTMS issues works to vehicle operators to move the container to crane. Tallymen register the loading of containers to the vessel.

37. Gate Operations

38. Time Slotting
The time slotting technology is used in the management system to regulate load on equipment dedicated to process trucks.

39. Web Portal
The container terminal’s customers can send requests for trucks’ visits via SOLVO’s web portal.

40. Registration of Truck Visits
All required procedures for registering truck visits are done in SOLVO.DMS.

41. Truck Registration
A list of containers to discharge and load, and an assignment to motor platforms are sent from SOLVO.DMS to SOLVO.CTMS.

42. Motor Platform Registration
Using RDTs, tallymen make a description of containers that are put on motor platforms.

43. Tallyman Acceptance
After the tallyman acceptance is over, a tallyman sheet and container examination documents are generated in the management system.

44. Place the container in a stack
Container Repairs
If a container is found to be damaged, the management system can perform the following actions:
Place the container in a stack
Send the container to repair right from the vehicle
Place the container in the repair zone
Deny the receiving of the container

45. Motor Platform Discharge
Then the system sends a work to reachstacker operator to discharge the container from the motor platform and to put it away to the stocking zone.
According to motor platform processing rules, SOLVO.CTMS decides when the motor platform is to be placed to the processing cell.
The operator confirms the work completion via RDT and the motor platform moves to the next handling cell.

46. Move Optimization
SOLVO.CTMS minimizes inefficient container moves and allows to cut down vehicle run distance and time.

47. Loading Containers to Motor Platform (RTG)
Solvo.CTMS issues a command to an RPG operator to put the container to a motor platform, and a proactive command to move the next motor platform to the stack cell to minimize RTG downtime.
The system sends an SMS-message to the trailer driver to move the trailer to the cell under the stack. Adjacent cells are blocked automatically.
Trailers arrive to processing cells. Processing the trailers is done in order of decreasing priorities.
Processing priorities are calculated automatically based on various parameters, including the minimization of RTG moves.
RTG 20 70 50 30 60

48. Rail Operations
