Primalcom Sea Port Terminal Operating System
Company A, a major Indonesian container terminal, partnered with Primalcom to implement its Sea Port Terminal Operating System (TOS) to streamline operations and enhance port efficiency. This case study examines how Primalcom's solution transformed the Terminal's performance, improved workflow, and set the stage for future growth.
Background
Company A faced challenges in handling increasing container traffic and managing complex logistical tasks. Manual processes, outdated systems, and limited real-time data integration contributed to bottlenecks, delayed vessel schedules, and increased operational costs. The terminal needed a solution to meet the growing demands of the maritime industry and ensure seamless operations.
Plan & Implementation
Primalcom collaborated with Company A to design a tailored TOS solution. The implementation plan included the integration of container handling systems, automated gate controls, reefer monitoring, and real-time data analytics. The rollout occurred in phases, ensuring minimal disruption to daily operations. Primalcom’s team of engineers and programmers provided training to staff for seamless adaptation.
By incorporating automated controls and analytics, this system not only reduces labor costs but also enhances decision-making at every operational level.
