As the needs of container terminals continue to evolve in the digital
age, Navis,
a part of Cargotec
Corporation
, and the provider of operational technologies and
services that unlock greater performance and efficiency for the world’s
leading organizations across the shipping supply chain, today charted
its course for the Next Generation TOS.

With 350 container terminals around the world using Navis software, the
company’s extensive experience in building and implementing TOS
solutions brings distinct advantages as it partners with customers to
execute digital- and cloud-based initiatives. Navis seeks to further
improve and optimize planning, execution, visibility and ease of use for
operations. Underpinned by the Navis SMART architecture, Navis Next
Generation TOS is designed to unleash the power of untapped data
residing within all portions of the supply ecosystem, which will help
terminals transform operations through improved functionality, smart
applications and a connected suite of solutions.

“As the proven industry leader in TOS, we are focused on continuing to
make terminal operations more intelligent and predictive for our
customers around the world,” said Andy Barrons, Chief Strategy Officer
at Navis. “In recent years, Navis has made significant investments
making our suite of products and services more agile, scalable and
connected, including expanded capabilities through Navis Smart, cloud
services and Octopi SaaS for smaller terminals. We will always continue
to think beyond our current portfolio of solutions to drive the next
wave of innovation.”

Along with connected data intelligence, Navis’ Next Generation TOS will
provide enhanced flexibility and scalability of the TOS to align with
customers’ unique operational realities, such as increasing cargo
volumes, diverse cargo types including general cargo and varying degrees
of automation. Central to this will be hardware-light, cloud-based
deployments, as well as faster and easier pathways from initial
implementation to the final go-live. Other highlights include:

  • Modular Navis Smart Architecture – N4 Equipment Control,
    Compass and other Navis Smart applications will be able to be upgraded
    independently to reduce time and risk associated with a traditional
    upgrade
  • Support for Brownfield Automation Deployments – Next Generation
    TOS will allow a step-wise progression from manual- to semi-automation
    in a cost-effective and low-risk way
  • A More Connected Ecosystem – Through Navis Smart and XVELA,
    terminals can tap into the power of data in their own systems and gain
    greater insight into the larger supply chain and data flows,
    synchronizing with land and water-side operations
  • Control Room Transformation – A more intelligent, predictive
    and proactive process, leveraging Artificial Intelligence to free up
    people to focus on value adding and strategic tasks
  • Improved UI/UX – An easier to use and more intuitive interface
    will support cross-functional teams for each terminal
  • Multi-terminal Management Increased visibility and
    control for terminals operating in close proximity on one TOS for
    enhanced visibility and control

The Next Generation TOS is just one of the many announcements Navis will
make during TOC Europe 2019. Today, the company also announced the
launch of Navis
360 Managed Services
, new subscription-based services supporting key
areas of N4 TOS success, including: monitoring, upgrades, application
management and operational review.
