DP World has completed the implementation of its CARGOES TOS+ (Terminal Operating Solution) in the Port of Limassol in Cyprus.
DP World Limassol is the first terminal in the group to upgrade its software to the latest version of Cargoes TOS+ and General Cargo (GC+) cloud modules.
“The transition to Cargoes TOS+ showcases the real-world potential of technology for enabling the future of smarter, more efficient and effective supply chains,” said CEO of DP World Limassol, Nawaf Abdulla, who went on to add that the entirely cloud-based solution enables greater flexibility and fluidity.
Available on 70% of DP World’s ports, Cargoes TOS+ provides them with terminal operating solutions from documentation and billing management to consolidation and de-consolidation of cargo, while it also supports integrations with a variety of third parties, according to the Dubai-based company.
The system also replaces the previous container and bulk solutions at the terminal by handling container, general cargo and roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) activity.
During a trial, where the old system and the new DP World solution were run concurrently, there was a large drop in radio chatter as equipment operators switched to devices for receiving instructions, resulting in increased productivity. During the testing process, the results outperformed expectations finishing a full week ahead of schedule.
“Cargoes TOS+ will suggest predictive maintenance to reduce operating costs, improve productivity by identifying bottlenecks, and optimise the terminal’s operational fleets and resource usage,” said Abdulla.
