Intelligent Intermodal Solutions (IIS)

Overview

A busy cargo terminal needs to keep track of thousands of containers, trucks and drivers every day — all at the fast pace of commerce. SAIC's IIS systems provide automated processing at the gates and on the quay to improve efficiency, throughput and security. With IIS systems providing timely, accurate information from key locations, the terminal can streamline its gate and quay operations and manage traffic more efficiently than ever.

Features

IIS system components at key locations throughout the terminal work together to identify containers, trucks and drivers, and deliver information where it's needed.

• At the gates, the IIS system uses OCR to read numbers on containers, chassis and license plates.
• In the lanes, Gatestand kiosks automate the terminal transaction for drivers.
• On the quay, the CraneView OCR system reads container numbers and records stow positions as containers are moved by cranes.
• The IIS server stores images and data from IIS components and other sources throughout the terminal, and exchanges data with the terminal operating system (TOS).
• Using IIS workstations at central locations, clerks can manage the gate processes remotely, and inspectors can check containers for damage online.

Benefits

• Enhances efficiency through automation and centralized operations
• Increases throughput by streamlining processing
• Improves security by identifying containers, trucks and drivers
• Reduces data errors and incorrect container moves
