Equipment Logistics System

Efficient software for cargo handling at container terminals

Equipment Logistics System (ELS) is a platform for streamlining operations and throughput in your container terminal. The software includes various modules for maritime and intermodal terminals.

ELS increases throughput in the maritime sector. Among others, the software covers the control of ship-to-shore and yard cranes as well as horizontal transportation. In the intermodal area, ELS controls your entire terminal with cranes and mobile vehicles, such as reach stackers. It supports standard terminal processes and optimizes the handling of trucks, trains and barges. In addition to the data layer, ELS provides a variety of operational functions, such as the forecasting, scheduling and dispatching of container movements within a terminal. A powerful graphical user interface (GUI) including a real time 3D-visualization ensures transparency and interaction at all times.

ELS can also be integrated into existing brownfield areas to improve the productivity without additional equipment. The open platform approach allows communication with other systems via APIs. The Data Hub linked to ELS archives usage data; operators can leverage historical data to further improve processes.
