From the data that enters through the ETL to the gate out and the billing line: nine steps, one Gate Operating System, next to your TOS.
Works with the TOS, cameras and barriers you already run
Data in (ETL)
Appointment (VBS)
Virtual Kiosk check-in
Gate in: cameras + OCR
In detail
1 · Appointments and moves arrive from the TOS by JSON push (API key) or CSV over SFTP; Excel discharge plans are dropped by hand or received at a dedicated address, with history kept. 2 · The truck has an appointment in our VBS: the gate knows who is coming, for which container and which operation. 3 · The driver checks in at the Virtual Kiosk before the gate; the transaction reaches the TOS in real time. 4 · Existing IP cameras film, the OCR reads container, plate and chassis, and the GOS matches the read with the appointment.
5 · GOS decision and barrier
Appointment found: the barrier opens, whatever its brand. Otherwise the clerk decides.
6 · Seal, damages, EIR
Seal read or entered on PC or tablet; damage inspection backed by the OCR reads.
7 · Yard and ship side
Every pass recorded by yard area and lane on a tablet.
8 · Gate out and TOS event
GATE_IN / GATE_OUT events sent back to the TOS, with a retry queue.
9 · Billing and reports
Every move becomes a billable line, with a daily CSV export to the billing system and the clerk's Excel exports.
Always on: resilience
The GOS runs on site with a cloud relay; if the internet drops, gates keep running on the local network.
The GOS reads and writes your terminal operating system; it does not replace it. It plugs into what the terminal already has: TOS, cameras, barriers.
