CyberLogitec, the provider of shipping and logistics operations IT technologies, has announced the successful implementation of its remotely OPUS Terminal system in Brasil Terminal Portuário (BTP).
OPUS Terminal is an integrated Terminal Operating System (TOS) platform that provides end-to-end solutions, managing yard and container operations from the time the vessel arrives at its departure from the yard.
Through the OPUS Terminal system implementation, which was completed in June, BTP, the largest terminal in South America which is a joint venture between APM Terminals and TIL (Terminal Investment Limited), is expected to enhance the work efficiency as well as the punctuality in vessel entry and departure, and achieve higher productivity in annual throughput.
In particular, OPUS Terminal’s deployed ‘Advanced Modules’ enhances the operational efficiency of the terminal’s yard and vessel operations, decreases unnecessary and unproductive work, shortens the needed planning time while increasing operational productivity, according to a statement.
“We chose OPUS Terminal since the system is based on best practices around the world and we believe that the system is advanced and stable enough to support us to provide efficient terminal operation and high-quality service,” stated Marcio Guiot, Chief Operating Officer at BTP.
The biggest issue for the implementation of this project was the restricted movement between nations due to Covid-19 and, therefore, the OPUS Terminal project team at CyberLogitec has implemented the system remotely without a single visit to BTP Terminal during the 18 months project period.
“To achieve a successful remote implementation for the first time, we completed rigorous preliminary planning and preparations, and the establishment of new processes and development and testing was carried out repeatedly,” said Jeong Min Son, Head of Port Department.
