Lustenau, Austria – IDENTEC SOLUTIONS, a leading supplier of innovative wireless solutions, has supplied PT Terminal Petikemas Surabaya (TPS), one of Indonesia’s international terminals with Terminal Tracker – helping the operators to achieve their vision of becoming a “reliable terminal with service excellence”.
TPS, who is committed to maintaining their prominent position as the Gateway to Eastern Indonesia, have used IDENTEC SOLUTIONS’ Terminal Tracker solution since 2015. Ever since TPS has worked hard that their terminals continue to provide the level of services required to bolster up the economic growth of Indonesia and to give the best possible services to their customers. Terminal Tracker helps TPS to fulfil their proclaimed vision by enabling them to work better.
The main objective of the solution is to perform Position Detection (PDS) and reporting moves performed by the Container Handling Equipment (CHE) directly to the terminal operating system (TOS). The fully automated solution removes the need for human interaction with the onboard display by automatically completing moves and ensuring an up to date and accurate yard inventory. This not only allows TPS to work more efficiently but also minimizes the risk associated with people working in the yard while delivering full visibility of the Terminals inventory.
PT Terminal Petikemas Surabaya (TPS) plays a significant role as a container terminal operator. TPS is a service provider in the logistics chain, particularly for export/import containers in Indonesia.
As a subsidiary of PT Pelindo Terminal Petikemas (SPTP), which is a subholding under the PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Pelindo) Group, TPS is the first terminal in Indonesia to implement the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code, which has been in place since July 2004.
In 2023, PT Terminal Petikemas Surabaya (TPS) demonstrated several key performance indicators (KPIs) reflecting its operational success and growth. The port recorded a container throughput of 1,449,641 TEUs, marking a 6.11% increase from the previous year. This included 1,375,927 TEUs from international containers and 73,713 TEUs from domestic containers.
Additionally, TPS saw a 5% rise in the flow of international ships, contributing to its strong performance metrics. This growth can be attributed to the addition of new services, improved infrastructure, and enhanced operational efficiencies.
TPS's efforts to expand its services and facilities, such as upgrading equipment and implementing environmentally friendly practices, have also been significant. These improvements have helped maintain a positive trend in container traffic and ensure customer satisfaction.
Overall, TPS’s strategic initiatives and operational enhancements have positioned it well within Indonesia’s logistics and shipping industry, and it has set ambitious targets for further growth in 2024 (1) (2).
Thanks to IDENTEC SOLUTIONS’ global network, on-site support is guaranteed by their local partner, PT Primus Indonesia (PT Primus). PT Primus is a system integrator, distributor, and VAR in the information technology business, with main business in computers, networking, data communication, software development, and peripherals supplies.
“We really value the longstanding, strong relationship with IDENTEC SOLUTIONS and PT Primus. We needed a reliable and flexible partner, who knows how to implement new software and hardware into existing structures, making everything work seamlessly together. Terminal Tracker makes our lives a lot easier by helping us to deliver best in class services to our customers”, said Amin Jamal, IT Manager of PT Terminal Petikemas Surabaya.
