The Benefits of OPUS Terminal M Solution 2025-02-27

CLT’s OPUS Terminal M is a cloud-based, web-based Terminal Operating System (TOS) that leverages AWS Cloud to integrate independently operated terminal operations and external inventory management into a single, unified system.


Key Benefits

1. Cloud Infrastructure

CLT's OPUS Termianl M has extensive experience in building and managing terminal operations within a cloud environment. In Indonesia, five terminals across different islands are efficiently operated using a single AWS Cloud server. Currently, CLT successfully manages TOS at nine terminals, including those in Makassar, Ambon, Jakarta, West Java, and Belawan.

✅ Centralized AWS Cloud-based infrastructure eliminates the need for separate on-premise servers at each location.

✅ Provides high scalability, stability, easier maintenance, and lower operational costs.

 
 

2. Standard API & Interface Support

To ensure seamless integration with external systems such as third-party TOS and shipping company platforms, OPUS Terminal M offers multiple interface protocols, including RESTful, SOAP, MQ, and FTP.

✅ Smooth data integration with third-party TOS, and shipping company systems.

✅ Standardized API support (RESTful, SOAP) ensures scalability and future expansion.


Supported Protocols:

RESTful (Representational State Transfer)

  - Uses JSON-based messaging for efficient, high-speed data exchange.

  - Follows HTTP standards, making it ideal for cloud environments.

SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol)

  - Ensures high reliability in distributed transaction management.

  - Best suited for integrating with legacy systems.

MQ (Message Queue)

  - Handles asynchronous data transmission, optimizing system performance.

  - Ensures message reliability, even during system failures or downtimes.

FTP (File Transfer Protocol)

  - Supports large file transfers efficiently.

  - Allows for scheduled or automated data uploads/downloads.

Staging DB & View

  - Enables data processing, cleansing, and transformation without impacting the operational database.


3. Advanced Inventory Management

OPUS Terminal M provides a unified inventory management environment that integrates external inventory management systems, ensuring real-time visibility across multiple terminals. The system already supports file uploads, format conversions, and Private EDI data processing to enhance data integration.

✅ External inventory is integrated into the TOS for centralized inventory control.

✅ Supports various data formats and Private EDI conversion for seamless operations.

✅ Manages external inventory within a Virtual Terminal, applying the same management approach used for primary terminals.


* Flexible Inventory Management Options:
Bulk data input via Excel file uploads
Automated data processing through Private EDI conversion
Direct manual data entry for real-time updates

4. Integrated Dashboard & Real-Time Monitoring
Before implementation of OPUS Terminal M, the terminal operations were fragmented, requiring separate systems to track different data sources. OPUS Terminal M unifies these data silos into a centralized database, enabling real-time inventory tracking, operational analysis, and data-driven decision-making.

✅ Eliminates inefficiencies by replacing separate systems with one centralized database.
✅ Provides real-time inventory tracking and operational analysis for better decision-making.
✅ Enhances operational visibility by offering instant access to key performance metrics.

Why Choose OPUS Terminal M?
With OPUS Terminal M, terminal operators gain:

✔ A cloud-based, cost-effective infrastructure for scalable and reliable terminal operations.
✔ Seamless integration capabilities with industry-standard APIs and interface protocols.
✔ Advanced inventory management for complete visibility across terminals.
