International Terminal Solutions
International Terminal Solutions (ITS) have announced the successful implementation of their external Automated Trucker Identification system (ATI), to allow the automatic identification of the external truckers, containers carried, and planned positions in the container yard.
The system is based on the already proven ITS Infrared truck ID system to provide a seamless post gate automated data transfer and container movement confirmation system.
ITS have already integrated this system successfully with an interlock to stop yard movements being carried out incorrectly and preventing containers, including high security or suspect cargo, being misidentified or placed in the wrong location.
The paperless and keyboard free system leaves no scope for yard operatives to misidentify the containers or yard locations, ensuring full data integrity. ITS says the integrity the system provides has allowed one terminal to plan with confidence for the optimum stack locations, and to increase density and reduce the yard checking and number of re-handles.
The company says it also envisages the system being developed to allow automated pre-gate identification where regular truckers using a terminal’s web-based appointment system can be issued with their own unique encrypted ID.
