An inter organization communication architecture model for real time activity base online transmission to increase the work process efficiency of container terminal

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to analyze the impact of instituting automated container yard management on the operation of a prototype EBILCY. This paper studies a total yard operation inflow and outflow of containers and cargos where different stakeholders depend on the operation of off-dock terminal. The primary challenge is to efficiently operate the operations and acquire the real-time data to minimize the operation lag due to information passing delay. In particular, to automate the every process, an online activity base strategy is used. This strategy groups jointly co-operate with OLAP and data mining process to reduce the manual work. An approach has been introduced to automate the all operational activity of off-dock as well as container terminal in real time basis. The methodology is approaching a cost-effective and authenticated communication through different stake holders of container terminal i.e. main line operator (MLO), freight forwarder, C&F agents, shipper, consignee etc. The model is solved using message passing strategy. Due to required interaction and multiple hub access issues a standard structure is introduced with details specification. The communication architecture has implemented through the authenticated portable database tool, extended markup language (XML). To establish the easy communication through the end point, email client is introduced. For ensuring the information security MD5 encryption method has also used. This approach helps to atomize the full industry segment to work in one umbrella. The standard message structure ensures data validity among the stakeholders. This approach also can be used to communicate within different application where this approach would be work as a communication agent.
