RIS Lock Management System Damir Obad (RGO Communications Ltd.) DISC Beograd04.12.2013.
Agenda • RGO Communications Ltd. company profile • Introduction • Lock operator application • Central application • RIS integration • Plans for the future
Company profile • Formed in 2008 • Key expertise: • RIS • System integration • Software development • Project management • Consulting • System design
Company profile • Projects: • RIS Serbia • Co-Po • Master Plan of the Sisak New Port • Feasibility study of the PanonRIS upgrade • RIS Poland (lower Oder) • Action plan for Croatian shipping • Team: • Experience in several countries • RIS expert groups members • Dedicated to complete customer satisfaction
Company profile • Products: • Tracking & Tracing • dGPS • ERI • NtS • Hull DB • Lock Management System • Voice VHF
Introduction • LMS applications need to provide, a reliable and simple way to log lock operations • Planning of lock operation using visual representation of the lock chambers • Centralized system for data storage and synchronization between the locks • Integration with RIS systems • Usage of ETA/RTA times for further planning improvements
Lock Operator Application • Convoy – multiple hulls data structure • All data stored locally so loss of internet connection does not block logging of lock operations • Connection of the lock operator applications to the LMS central application enables forwarding of announcements to the next lock(s) in line • Multiple next locks are possible • Support for one or two lock chambers • Different algorithms for arranging convoys in the chamber
LMS Central Application • Central data storage for easy backup of data • Synchronization of used hull data between the locks • Interface for RIS systems • The LMS central server allows a large number of lock operator applications to be connected (forwarding of announcements) • Web based GUI • Overview of the current status of all the lock chambers • Effortless creation of lock operation statistic reports (daily/monthly/annual)
RIS Integration • Advantages: • Automatic announcements of vessels • Automatic population of convoy and hull data • Less work for operators • Connected RIS sub-systems: • VTT (Vessel Tracking & Tracing) • Voice VHF • ERI (Electronic Reporting) • Hull Database
RIS Integration – VTT & VHF • Usage of AIS data for creating the announcements • Identification of incoming vessels using the MMSI or ENI Number • Population of convoy data using appropriate data from AIS messages (size, name, MMSI, etc.) • Creating announcements using the ATIS code (from VHF)
RIS Integration – ERI • ERINOT details are used to fill in all of the convoy details, including automatic calculation of the amount of cargo
RIS Integration – Hull DB • Search Hull Database using ENI, IMO or MMSI • Search EU Hull database through National Hull Database (if supported by Hull Database)
Plans for the future • Development of the ETA calculation algorithm based on combination of AIS data, statistical data and inputs from the skipper • Support for announcements using the ETA message (Inland AIS message 6-FI-21) • Creation and sending of addressed RTA messages to ships (Inland AIS message 6-FI-22) • Pre-announcement of vessels using the web based interface
