Revolutionising terminals with PORTOS Project's smart solutions
Introducing the PORTOS Project
In the fast-evolving world of maritime logistics, staying ahead is essential. That’s why the PORTOS Project is a groundbreaking initiative designed to revolutionise terminal operations across the globe. At the heart of this project are two innovative software solutions: PORTOS CORE and CATOS (Computer Automated Terminal Operating System). These systems are the backbone of modern terminal management, ensuring efficiency, accuracy, and seamless operations.
PORTOS CORE: the future of terminal operations
The journey of PORTOS CORE began with a vision to create a unified, efficient, and technologically advanced terminal operating system. Developed to replace the legacy Portsys, PORTOS CORE is more than just an upgrade; it is a transformation. This software is currently being rolled out in several key terminals, including Santander, Sagunto, Tarragona, Castellón, Málaga, Autoterminal, and Pasajes.
PORTOS CORE is built on a microservices architecture, which offers numerous advantages over traditional monolithic systems. Each module operates independently, allowing for parallel development and maintenance. This flexibility means that new terminals can be deployed quickly, and existing ones can be easily transformed to handle different types of cargo. The system's integration, with other corporate tools, ensures a seamless flow of information and enhances overall operational efficiency.
One of the standouts features is its ability to optimise manual tasks, like administrative duties, which accelerates the acquisition of new terminals. By adopting PORTOS CORE, Noatum Ports is not only improving its operational efficiency but also setting a new standard in the industry. This innovative system positions the company as a leader in terminal operations, offering a competitive edge.
CATOS: leading the way in container terminal management
CATOS has a rich history of innovation and excellence in the container terminal sector. Developed by Total Soft Bank, this system has been a game-changer for container terminals worldwide, including those under Noatum Ports. The implementation of CATOS in terminals in Cartagena, Castellón, Sagunto and Málaga, has enhanced operational efficiency and traceability.
CATOS is known for its comprehensive functionality and customisability. The system integrates all functional modules, allowing for efficient use and seamless operations. It tracks and traces container movements with precision, ensuring that every step of the process is accounted for. This level of detail not only improves operational efficiency but also boosts customer satisfaction by providing accurate information.
What sets CATOS apart from the competition is its ability to adapt to the changing needs of the market. The system's flexibility and scalability make it an ideal choice for terminals looking to elevate their operations and stay ahead of the curve.
These smart solutions ensure that Noatum Ports remains at the forefront of technological developments, driving efficiency in terminal management.
We would like to thank the Government of Spain for supporting these initiatives thanks to the Next Generation EU funds, without which they would not be possible.
