Tomorrow ’ s technology In such a competitive market , it is vital that SCCT stays ahead of the game ; it is leveraging the latest developments in management systems technology in order to maintain its lead . Its successful implementation of the cutting edge Navis N4 Terminal Operating System ( OS ) is both timely and forward thinking . The new OS is innovative for its ability to integrate IT strategy and centralise back office operations ; it also has the capacity for new technological additions further down the line due to its open architecture .
Laursen said : “ It is the most advanced Operating System in the world . If you imagine that the container terminal was like a human body , it was like getting a new brain ; before , we had a total of 53 systems running across the terminal .” The Navis N4 OS has been rolled out across many terminals all over the world , but SCCT is one of the largest operations to do so . According to over three quarters of its customers surveyed , implementing N4 technology has improved both operational visibility and yard equipment utilisation .
