Container terminals
When a crane stops, the cutoff doesn’t.
A terminal runs on a berth plan, a TOS, crane telemetry, yard and gate systems, and the radio. When one of them changes, the duty manager connects the rest by hand. AiNOS One holds them as one model, so the consequence is visible before the cutoff is missed.
What AiNOS One reads here
- Terminal operating system
- Berth plan
- Crane PLC and telemetry
- Yard and block system
- Gate and truck booking
- AMR and AGV fleet manager
- EDI messages
- Customs, dangerous goods and reefer holds
- Radio and supervisor notes
- Safety rulebook
The three products at the terminal
The same model serves the manager who decides, the people who do the work and the machines that move.
| Product | The situation | Today | What changes |
|---|---|---|---|
| AiNOS DeskDecide | A quay crane goes down with 1,300 moves left. | The duty manager calls the crane desk, the yard planner and the warehouse, rebuilds the picture in a spreadsheet, and decides late. | One traces the impact across the vessel, the yard, the gate and the warehouse downstream. Desk compares three recoveries with their cost and who each one affects. The duty manager approves; the TOS executes. |
| AiNOS FlintWork safely | A reach stacker carrying a container is blind on every side that matters. | When someone walks into its working radius, the signaller has to see them first. The rule is taught once, in a classroom. | The rule is compiled from the rulebook and rehearsed in the terminal’s twin, the stop included, before anyone walks the yard. |
| AiNOS MarshalMove | Fourteen AMRs share the lanes between the quay and the blocks. | Each vehicle plans for itself. A blocked lane is a radio call, and the fleet finds out one vehicle at a time. | One brain reserves every lane in time and space. It reads “Lane A north blocked for 20 minutes”, replans the fleet against the vessel cutoff, and keeps the rejected alternatives on record. |
The whole terminal, area by area
How each area runs today, how it runs on AiNOS One, and which product serves it first.
| Workflow area | Today | On AiNOS One | Product |
|---|---|---|---|
| Berth and vessel planning | Berth windows are agreed by email and re-planned by phone when a vessel runs late. | A late vessel is traced to every yard, gate and warehouse plan it touches, with recoveries ready to approve. | Desk |
| Quay and yard operations | Moves are planned in the TOS; disruptions are handled on the radio. | An outage arrives with recoveries ranked by moves saved and by who is affected, and the fleet replans centrally. | DeskMarshal |
| Landside: gate, truck, rail and barge | Gate congestion is seen when the queue has already formed. | Bookings, arrivals and yard state are read together, so the desk sees the queue coming. | Desk |
| Cargo flow and connections | Transshipment and cutoff risk is checked box by box by planners. | Every box carries its connection, holds and cutoff; cohorts at risk are flagged with their evidence. | Desk |
| Equipment and maintenance | Fault logs live in the equipment system, apart from the plan they disrupt. | A fault is linked to the moves, vessels and shifts it affects the moment it is logged. | Open |
| Safety and workforce | Rules are taught in a classroom and checked on paper. | Rules compiled from the rulebook are rehearsed in the terminal’s own twin. | Flint |
| Capacity and commercial | Whether a new contract fits is answered with a capacity memo. | Capacity and feasibility are answered from the same model, site by site. | Desk |
Built for the terminal
Working software on AiNOS One, each piece a decision, a rule or a fleet.
Terminal operations twin
A vessel delay, a typhoon closure and a quay-crane outage, traced across berth, yard, warehouse and customs. An agent proposes; the duty manager approves, modifies or rejects.
- 18 source systems in one model
- 11 typed agent tools
- Decisions kept as memory
Yard recovery
A yard equipment failure, worked by three agents (diagnosis, recovery, verification) and approved by the shift supervisor.
- 30 of 30 agent runs passed
- +26 jobs against the baseline
- −17 crane-minutes of waiting
Transshipment admission
Admit, reserve, defer or escalate an incoming cohort during congestion. Stale or conflicting evidence forces an escalation, never a guess.
- 1,591 source records
- 12 decision packets
- 4 outcomes
Plan feasibility check
Finds where a plan that fits the schedule fails in execution: crane interference, AMR starvation, lane congestion, yard spillback.
- 10 deterministic checks
- Replay of every check
Brainless AMR yard
AMRs, quay cranes and yard blocks under one brain: central assignment, time-space lane reservation and replanning, with every decision traced.
- 14 AMRs, 2 quay cranes, 4 blocks
- 7 disruption types
- Same seed, same replay
Reach stacker rule
The working-radius rule, compiled from the safety standards and played as a scene in which the signaller stops the machine.
- 57 deaths in port cargo handling in Korea, 2011–2021
- Struck-by is the leading accident type
