JADE Master Terminal is a true "set and forget" system. The system installs from a CD using an automated setup program and the software can be up and running in a matter of minutes.

JMT uses the high-speed object-oriented JADE engine to power its integrated capabilities, this technology platform allows for effortless integration with existing legacy systems, elegant deployment options using in-built thin client software, web services and full HTML web page support.

In addition, the technology delivers the following key benefits:

  • No issues with Database size other than disk space consumed. We have ports operating systems equivalent to a 15 million TEU container operation spread across an entire country in 11 terminals, the database for this customer is more than 160GB yet operates as quickly as the day it was installed.
  • No Database Administrators required. JMT comes complete with automated scheduled backups, disaster recovery using synchronized databases on backup hardware automatically maintained by JADE and administrative tools for object space recovery if required. Our ports typically only erase objects when they have disk space issues, there is no performance penalty for storing data for long periods.
  • No deployment issues. Updates to the system can in some cases be performed whilst the system is on-line and running. The JADE object manager manages system software deployments to all of the clients connected to the system fully automatically.
  • Reduced Technical Support staff. JMT has no administrative requirements for the system when running other than backup management and hardware services. If the JADE Care24 service is optioned even this is managed by Jade.
  • JADE Care24 Managed Service. Jade offer a range of hardware and software support and monitoring options through the JADE Care24 service, please click on the link at the bottom of the page for more information.
  • Relational Database Services. No system stands alone, and JMT is no exception to that rule with the system proving automated updates of relational databases for statistical and data-warehouse activities separate to the main operational database. JMT can automatically manage a relational database to keep it as up to date as required.
  • Integrated. JADE Master Terminal is one system, using one set of source code to manage all systems, therefore the updates are well proven in all sites and our support costs are driven down in comparison with other system's of this complexity.

Nelson

Port Nelson have recently upgraded their existing Teklogix narrow band RDT equipment with state-of-the-art heavily ruggedized laptops running the Jade Smart Thin Client Jade Master Terminal application using Telecom's CDMA cellphone cellular network for communications to and from the devices.

Geoff Shepard from Port Nelson states they are extremely impressed with the minimal bandwidth being used by the JMT application's smart forms which are all touch-screen high definition colour units mounted in the terminal's fork lift machinery, with bandwidth consumption well under expectations making this a very cost-effective option to maintaining your own 802.11 or narrow band radio data network. In addition, because the system is using cellular encrypted telephone technology the signals are completely unaffected by steel structures, the radio network is no longer Port Nelson's responsibility.

Feedback from the machinery drivers' is overwhelmingly positive, with workshops held at the port between staff and JMT developers to determine the optimum screen layouts that fitted how they actually do their job.

We have confirmed new customers in Europe, USA and Australia ... more information on this exciting news will be posted shortly.
