Your TOS tracks tonnage. Not the ship loader.
Real-time equipment status for bulk terminal ops and maintenance, built from the radio calls already being made.
THE STATE OF BULK TERMINAL EQUIPMENT DATA
Most bulk terminals are running on data that is minutes too late.
Across the bulk terminal industry, the gap between what coordinators know and what is actually happening on the quay remains wide.

WHERE BULK TERMINAL OPERATIONS LOSE GROUND
Three breakdowns that compound every vessel.
The Loading Rate Collapse
A conveyor belt fault drops loading rate by 40%. The belt operator radios the fault. The maintenance team is on another section of the quay. The vessel master calls the terminal superintendent 25 minutes into the reduced rate.
"The ship was 800 tonnes short of plan and I found out when the master called me. The guy on the belt radioed it in 25 minutes earlier. It just didn't get to me."

The Stacker-Reclaimer Scheduling Gap
Reclaim sequences are planned against a stockyard model. Whether the stacker-reclaimer is available is confirmed by radio at plan time and assumed to hold.
"We planned a reclaim sequence for berth 2 on a stacker that was scheduled for a bearing check at 13:00. That information was on the maintenance planner's whiteboard. Not anywhere I could see it."
Port Manager
The Dust Suppression Compliance Gap
Dust suppression systems are a regulatory compliance requirement. When a nozzle bank or pump fails, field crews report it by WhatsApp or radio. Whether the event was logged as a timestamped compliance record depends on manual entry.
"We had an EPA inspection and they asked for the maintenance log on dust suppression Unit 3. It existed as a WhatsApp message from the fitter. That's not a maintenance record."

WHAT OPSIMA SHOWS OPERATIONS
A live equipment status board built from field communication.
Every status update sent over WhatsApp, radio, or email becomes a tile on this board. Operations knows what is available right now: not what was available an hour ago.
FROM RADIO CALL TO WORK ORDER
The repair gets reported. The record writes itself.
Field communication flows through Opsima and becomes a structured work order automatically. No forms. No data entry. No end-of-shift catch-up.
PAIN TO OUTCOME
What changes when operations and maintenance share one source of truth.
THE VESSEL MASTER'S CALL
The vessel master always finds out about equipment problems before the terminal superintendent does.
That gap is the cost. Opsima closes it by making every equipment status change visible the moment it happens.
BUILT FOR BULK TERMINAL TECHNOLOGY STACKS
Overlays your existing stockyard and asset systems. Live in 3 days.
Opsima does not replace SAP PM, Maximo, or Navis BCP. It captures unstructured quay communication and feeds structured records back in.
Integrates with SAP PM, Maximo, Navis BCP, Quintiq / Dematic
Equipment status and maintenance records flow into your existing systems. No migration.
No new hardware on the quay or stockyard
Opsima reads existing communication channels. No sensors, no wiring.
Handles multi-berth, multi-commodity bulk terminals
Automatic asset identification across all berths, stockyards, and commodity streams.
Live in 3 days
No maintenance window. Connect to existing communication channels around live loading operations.
