Realtime Business Solutions has announced a Terminal Operating System upgrade to the Klaipedos Smelte container terminal in Lithuania.

RBS provides upgraded TOS to Klaipedos Smelte terminal (Kopie)

In week 45, Klaipedos Smelte Container Terminal (CT) successfully upgraded its Terminal Operating System (TOS) from TOPS Advance to TOPS Expert. The migration was carried out with the on-site support of consultants from Realtime Business Solutions Pty. Ltd. and RBS EMEA. Thanks to seamless coordination, the transition was completed within just four hours, with no negative impact on terminal performance, customers, or stakeholders.

This upgrade represents a significant milestone in Klaipedos Smelte’s journey towards continuous improvement. The new TOS version offers advanced capabilities for vessel operations, yard management, equipment control, and data analytics. Notably, it enhances automation and accelerates planning processes, enabling terminal planners to respond more effectively to dynamic situations while offering greater flexibility to customers such as MSC. In that part the new TOPS offers more automated features that speed up the process and thereby allow the planning to be adopted to new situations quickly.

The milestone of the migration marks final step of a whole migration project that has taken the team 8 months from initial kickoff to go live (you can deduct the summer break, if you like). It has been a team effort with a great TOS ownership of the terminal team.

However this migration does not mark the end of a process, but the start of new opportunities and new possibilities to integrate new moduls and features coming in the future. The new version can seamlessly integrate with our new TOPS Intelligence engine that will give more power to the terminal driving efficiency in scheduling, dispatch and execution.
