Management system optimized for handling of containers

Internodes

In an inter-node exchange is of primary importance to the order of placement of the container.
Container storage area Transportation.

Disadvantages arising from order

Depositing a long storage container on top of another short stock, or depositing it in an area closest to the loading-unloading more than a short-stock, place a large number of "parasite" movements of the container within the storage areas. Critical factors: distance from the stacking and loading-unloading.

Consequences of "parasite" movements

• Increase the level of wear and fuel consumption of the media handling of containers
• Increased risk of damage to container, its contents and methods used for their handling
• Increase in execution time of handling and stopping of vehicles such as trains, planes, ships, trucks inside the storage areas

All this, as well as impacting on the overall inter-node exchange, involves a lot of time, maintenance costs, fuel, risk management, timing and mode of personal use.

Virtual Freight Station

Virtual Freight Station is a software specially developed for the intermodal logistics industry. With the help of GPS technology and Wi-Fi, the operational integration into the Web (which allows easy access from the browser) and especially through the innovative systems Electronic monitoring of container location and logistics in support of intelligence operators and administrative staff to handling of containers, Virtual Freight Station, today, is the ideal and essential for the optimization of time and operating costs over that increase the quality of services of intermodal nodes exchange. The intelligent logistics system for the optimization of the activities of container handling in intermodal nodes exchange.
Automated mapping of the precise position in the horizontal and the vertical level of each container is in transit and in storage in the warehouse without the aid of any device or label affixed on the container, nor any additional operation by the operators.
Intelligent management and control of transit and storage of vehicles and containers in the areas of exchange inter-node based on the automated mapping of the position of the container and on the information on the destinations and the time of storage provided in the filing for containers and vehicles.

Level of optimization is reached on Cranes and Loaders Transtainer

• Minimizing the level of wear and fuel consumption of cranes and Transtainer
• Minimizing the execution time of movement and stop the transport of containers and consequent increase in the overall intermodal node exchange
• Minimizing the risk of damage to container, its contents, of cranes and Transtainer

Advanced functionality in development and operation

It's to study the possibility of providing a permanent containers of a new type of encoding that the user them so unique in the world. Coding, unlike the alphanumeric print incorrectly detectable in a simple and accurate means of optical devices, cameras and OCR systems, enables automatic identification of the container through a simple WebCam on board cranes and Transtainer. This is to maximize the optimization of working gruisti and break down every possibility of human error in all those cases where the user needs to type in a container by a gruista or another operator.

The system is currently operating at an intermodal terminal in Lazio (see photo).
