Robust and Stable Wireless Solution
         --10% Cost, One-day Implementation, 120% Performance

It is an effective way to implement wireless solution to solve the problem of invalid container location, late container location recording and hard to plan or summarize stacker workload by installing auto pc on stackers. But traditional wireless solution has the following disadvantages, high initial investment, long implementation circle, and difficult to safeguard, which exerts high pressure on the cost as well as boosts the depot efficiency. DMS wireless solution adopts leading edge of software and hardware technology, is aiming at the following aspects to conquer the disadvantages mentioned above.

Initial Setup:
Initial Investment: The money input of traditional wireless solutions is composited of wireless network deployment and auto pc which usually cost more than 300,000RMB. DMS is using robust terminals and existed Wide Area Network (WAN) resource to transmit data, so the cost can be controlled under 30,000RMB easily, only 10% of the traditional wireless solutions.
Implementation Circle: Traditional wireless solution includes wireless network setup in the depot, auto pc and wireless network tuning, system integration and user training which will last 2-3 months. But DMS wireless solution implementation will only cost you less than 1 day: 4 hours’ equipment setup, 1 hour’s system configuration and tuning and 1 hour’s user training.

Usage & Maintenance:
Wireless Function: DMS wireless solution provides more complete functions including Container Gate In, Container Gate Out, Container Re-marshalling, Container Changing, Container Enquiry, etc. It can also be integrated with DMS to provide information for various reports.
Usability: Traditional wireless solution is easily affected by diverse weather and terrain, e.g. in raining days, or standing between two containers, wireless signal will be inaccessible so that wireless equipment will be also unworkable. On the contrary, DMS wireless solution adopts more robust data transmission technology by Wide Area Network (WAN) that makes wireless available any time, any place.
User Experience: DMS wireless solution is widely praised by its friendly user experience, vivid user interface, convenient operation process and quick system response.
Cost: Traditional wireless solution not only needs higher initial investment, but also needs much money input for network and wireless equipment maintenance. Fortunately, DMS can help you to least your cost supported by robust software and hardware.

Actual Performance:
DMS wireless solution has been implemented in depot QOCT since January of 2010, and is running stably since then. With good performance and ease-of-use features, DMS wireless solution has been highly praised by users. Accordingly to QOCT's statistics, with the support of wireless functions, yard accuracy has reached 95% compared to 10% previously. 32% of the daily inventory check workload has been saved due to increased yard visibility. QOCT is now able to respond to customers' demand for containers with special conditions much more quickly.

Graphic and Multi-dimensional Container Yard View
         --Click your mouse twice, and you will see all

For depot container manager, a vivid and real-time container yard view can help him to not only make accurate yard plan, but also manage the in-depot containers timely so as to meet the different customers’ need for container gate in/gate out. Based on the fact above, DMS provides multiple dimensional container yard view.

Depot Airscape View: Depot airscape view is based on the depot physical layout. User can switch the perspective between tier view and container owner view.
Container Area View: Container area view lists all bay storage status of this area in sequence.
Container Bay View: Container bay view displays the most detailed information of this bay. It includes the storage status of this bay and related container information such as container no, container owner, container size type, etc. What is more, user can modify the information from this view directly.

From these dimensional views, you can see all you need from whole depot storage status to a specific container by clicking your mouse twice! Furthermore, for in-depot container movement, user can simulate the actual container movement from container view directly.

Complete KPI Analysis

The data of depot real operation situation is the most concerned factor for depot management. DMS provides a series of KPI reports from depot operation efficiency aspect and depot yard utilization aspect that helps depot supervisors to find out the potential depot operational problems in advance to keep one-step ahead in fierce depot competitions.

Operation Efficiency KPI:
Gate Operation Efficiency KPI: By analyzing the truck turn-around-time and calculating the average time of container gate in/gate out, gate in/gate out efficiency KPI reflects the gate efficiency of this depot as well as the waiting time for truck drivers which influences the depot throughput and customer satisfaction.
MNR KPI: By analyzing the container gate in time, repair estimate upload, approval and complete time and calculating the average time of MNR cycle, MNR KPI reflects the depot MNR efficiency which influences the container owner satisfaction. This KPI can also help depot supervisor to find out the bottleneck of MNR efficiency and work out relevant solutions.

Depot Yard Utilization KPI:
Container Storage KPI: By summarizing in-depot container storage situation everyday and analyzing in-depot container storage situation in a specific period, this KPI reflects the depot yard utilization which plays a key role to estimate whether the depot has the ability to carry on extra business.
Gate Movement Volume KPI: By summarizing gate in/gate out volume every day and analyzing gate throughput in a specific period, this KPI reflects the gate efficiency which also plays a key role to estimate whether the depot has the ability to carry on extra business.
Depot Revenue KPI: By summarizing depot income and analyzing the depot income change in a specific period, this KPI has the positive meaning for depot new business exploration and pricing.
