Prepare: Setup Yard Driving Rules and RTG Performance Profiles

Your TOS data reader is configured, the RTG Dispatcher is installed and the following parameters are set once and for all:

• Setup the yard driving distances by applying yard  geometry and driving rules
• Describe the RTG driving and handling speed
• Define rules for distributing moves on the yard to container handling equipment
• Set individual RTG handling restrictions like wheel turn locked, maximum passing height and (lack-of) OOG ability

Assign: Gate Moves Assigned to RTGs

If no TOS gate appointment system is in use and no planned gate moves are available in your TOS, assign RTGs to support gate activities.

Dispatch: Automatic Dispatch of RTGs, In-Place-In-Time with Highest Efficiency

By using sophisticated math optimization algorithms the RTG Dispatcher tells you when to dispatch an RTG and where to send it, making sure it arrives in time to carry out required moves.

Switch to the graphical view, which lists the recommended RTG move orders per yard block in time, so you feel confident that the instructions from the RTG Dispatcher result in timely arrival and uninterrupted operations in all blocks on your yard.

Undeploy: Adjust Deployment & Initiate House Keeping

Monitor the utilization of each RTG and, if utilization is too low,  reduce your deployment or initiate more house keeping moves, ensuring a high productivity for your RTG fleet without ever jeopardising your terminal operations.

Monitor: Validate, Confirm & Adjust; Operations by Exception Management

By using simple colour codes you let the RTG Dispatcher alert you that RTG move orders are carried out in time and move orders are duly executed, thus turning your dispatching function into an exception management process.
