Ports
Turn positioning into coordinated terminal action, rather than radios, spreadsheets and after-the-fact reports. The Ports Solution Pack is fully specified, and it builds out on the same core that ships today.
Container terminal and quay, live
A schematic of a container terminal and quay, with tags moving through it. People, assets and safety devices are all the same kind of tracked entity to the platform, differing in the rules attached to them rather than in the mechanism. Watch a safety device long enough and you will see one raise.
An illustrative layout and illustrative movement. Not a customer site, not live data, and not a claim about any particular deployment. Zone names are the vocabulary this industry already uses, which is exactly what the platform is configured with.
The safety kernel, on the quay now
Duress, man-down, lone worker, escalation and evidence are shipping platform capability, the same runtime deployed in healthcare. A stevedoring shift is exactly the environment they were built for.
Duress from the quay or the yard
A worker presses a wearable or a fixed point. The event is priority one at origination, and nothing in your configuration can downgrade it. It carries the caller's resolved zone, with staleness gating that prefers a coarser known zone to a confidently wrong dot.
Man-down and lone-worker cover
A lasher who stops moving on a night shift, or a worker who misses a check-in in a remote block, raises an alarm without pressing anything. The liveness clock is platform-owned. A device that goes quiet is Stale, then Lost, never silently forgotten.
Escalation that cannot lapse, evidence that stands
A closed-loop, tiered ladder climbs until a human acknowledges. It is restart-safe, with deadlines held in the database. One acknowledgement stands the alarm down everywhere, and the whole sequence lands on a tamper-evident audit trail with replay.
An awareness layer above your certified controls
The pack's proximity and exclusion-zone capability is specified as an awareness and coordination layer. It sits above the certified, machine-fitted proximity and collision-avoidance systems on your straddles, reach stackers and cranes, and never replaces them; those systems remain the source of truth for their domains. What the platform adds is the terminal-wide picture they cannot give you: patterns, hot spots, breaches and the coordinated response.
A fully-specified catalogue, stated as what comes next
The Ports Solution Pack is specified as a catalogue of fifty use cases on the same tags, the same infrastructure and the same core engines. Enable a subset and you inherit the rest as latent capability. The catalogue is specification rather than shipped software, and every entry below says so.
Container to the slot
Physical container location resolved to block, row, tier and slot. The box found without walking the stack.
Physical-vs-TOS reconciliation
Continuous comparison of physical position against the terminal operating system, so the mis-stow and the lost box are surfaced, not discovered at load time.
Reefers, dwell & demurrage
Reefer plug-rack occupancy, and dwell and demurrage exposure by block and by line.
Pedestrian proximity & exclusion
Straddle and reach-stacker pedestrian proximity awareness, and exclusion-zone breach alerting.
Quay-crane & quay-edge protection
Under-hook exclusion in the load path, and fall-from-height proximity protection at the quay edge.
Gangway & headcount
Gangway access control and an on-board headcount: who is on the vessel, right now.
Gate & truck flow
Automated gate and OCR check-in, and truck queue and turn-time visibility.
ISPS & MARSEC posture
Restricted-zone access control, perimeter breach detection, and an escalation posture that steps with the MARSEC level.
Dangerous goods & hazmat
IMDG dangerous-goods segregation alerting, and a location-aware spill and hazmat response playbook.
Quayside duress, packaged
The kernel's duress and man-down, packaged with stevedoring terminology, gang rosters and terminal dashboards.
Evacuation, muster & cyclone
Evacuation and muster-point roll-call, and coordinated crane tie-down when the cyclone warning closes the weather window.
Replay & feed-loss resilience
Incident reconstruction and movement replay for the terminal, and specified degradation to location-only operation under feed loss. A reduced picture, never a blank one.
Pack dashboards
Terminal Operations Picture, Yard & Asset Location, Heavy-Vehicle Safety, Perimeter & Security and Gate Throughput views.
Pack AI agents
The specification includes Collision-Risk, Yard-Congestion, Perimeter-Breach and Dwell/Demurrage agents. AI in WillowCreek is being built to be explainable and human-supervised. It will propose; people decide.
Honesty is the feature: anything not yet in place is told to you as such, in writing, before go-live.
What the pack is specified to measure
No invented numbers. The pack defines the measures, and your deployment produces the figures.
- Duress response time: raise to responder-on-scene, by zone and by shift.
- Proximity and exclusion events: by machine class, by block and by shift, with hot spots visible.
- Mis-stow recovery: time from discrepancy surfaced to box reconciled against the TOS.
- Truck turn-time and gate queue: by hour, by lane and by carrier.
- Dwell and demurrage exposure: by block and by line, before it becomes an invoice dispute.
- Muster completion: evacuation-called to all-persons-accounted-for, per drill and per event.
Built for the people who work the terminal
- Stevedores, lashers and linesmen: duress and man-down cover in the highest-energy workplace in the country.
- Straddle and crane operators: a terminal that knows where the people are.
- Duty managers and watch officers: one ranked queue and one picture, around the clock.
- Planners and TOS teams: the physical yard reconciled against the system of record.
- Maritime security officers: restricted-zone and perimeter evidence shaped for the Maritime Security Plan.
- ICT and engineering: signed containers on terminal infrastructure, adapters instead of rip-and-replace.
Built for maritime security scrutiny
The drivers the pack is specified to serve are the ones a terminal is actually audited against: the Maritime Transport and Offshore Facilities Security Act 2003 (Cth) and the terminal's approved Maritime Security Plan, where restricted-zone control and MARSEC posture must be evidenced rather than asserted, alongside Safe Work Australia's stevedoring guidance, chain-of-responsibility duties under the Heavy Vehicle National Law at the gate, and the IMDG Code for dangerous goods in the yard.
Certification status is provided per deployment in commercial documentation. See Trust & security.
50 specified use cases
Every operational capability this pack is designed to deliver, grouped as the specification groups them, each mapped to the core engines that would configure it. A buyer enables the subset they need; nothing here is a separate product.
What this catalogue is. These are specified use cases: design work we have completed, each one mapped to the core engines that would deliver it and carrying its own identifier so it can be quoted, scoped and tracked. It is not a feature list. No use case in this catalogue runs today. The duress and location core beneath it does, and it is the same core every pack configures. Anything marked as running today is running today, and everything else is specification. Ask us about any entry and we will tell you plainly where it stands.
