features

JADE Master Terminal's VTMIS core is a fully featured software component that graphically manages vessel visits to busy ports.

The system has the following key features:

Integrated

All vessels that are defined within the VTMIS module, and are indicated as having cargoes, can be worked using the Container or Warehousing cores of JMT in the same package.

Movements, resources and updates are all automatically tied into the JMT Invoicing functionality (if optioned) giving on-line real time invoice line generation minimizing revenue leakage.

Information can be easily exported to update Web pages as required.

Visit Scheduling

Vessel visits can be simply created as far in the future as required, tidal models are projected and arrival and departure movements can be scheduled to take these into account automatically. Any number of extra vessel movements between berths, wharves or harbors can be scheduled and resourced, changing one impacts on how the others are arranged.

Resourcing

All vessels can have a number of resources allocated to them, including Water, Garbage collection, Warehouse berth preferences, Cranes, Tugs, Pilot vessels and pilots, Stevedores (or longshoremen), Telephones, Electricity etc. All resources are completely user-defined.

Tidal Model

Tidal ports have unique constraints surrounding vessel visits, JMT's VTMIS module replaces the manual guesswork with firm facts, figures and graphical representations of water depth, flow rates and optimal times based on the class of the vessel. The tidal model can also account for travel time down a channel and calculate an overall arrival and departure scenario.

Graphical

The user interface to JMT's VTMIS is highly graphical and very intuitive giving a very easily understood picture of berth usage at any point in time, giving a clear view of your operation.

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.
