Manual decking decisions cost terminals millions in unnecessary rehandling, inefficient space utilization, and extended vessel turnaround times. Our AI-powered intelligent decking solution eliminates guesswork, automates complex placement rules, and continuously learns from operational patterns to optimize every container move.
The Hidden Cost of Manual Decking
- Rehandling Expenses: Manual placement leads to 25–40% unnecessary container moves.
- Decision Delays: Operators spend valuable time analyzing optimal placement options.
- Inconsistent Rules: Human error and varying expertise create placement inconsistencies.
- Space Waste: Suboptimal stacking reduces effective yard capacity by 15–20%.
AI-Driven Decking Intelligence
- Smart Placement Algorithms: Real-time analysis of container characteristics, vessel schedules, and dwell time predictions.
- Automated rule application considering weight distribution, accessibility, and future moves.
- Dynamic learning from historical patterns and operational feedback.
- Integration with yard management systems for seamless execution.
- Automated Decking Rules Engine: Configurable business rules that adapt to terminal-specific requirements.
- Automated compliance with safety regulations and operational constraints.
- Exception handling for special cargo (reefer, dangerous goods, oversized).
- Real-time rule optimization based on performance analytics.
Predictive Stacking Intelligence
- Machine learning models predict optimal stack positions based on:
- Container pickup probability and timing
- Vessel discharge sequences and port rotations
- Historical move patterns and seasonal trends
- Equipment availability and operational constraints
