Software to support the planning process and optimize the daily work at container terminals.
Value added
SIMULA IV – planning container terminal management
Allows the graphical grouping of containers based on their unloading ports and services
Our recommendation
DIGITAL IV – container terminal efficiency
A tool that allows you to view the OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) key indicators in real time by using IoT devices for data from container terminals.
More to consider
TMS – transport management system
Comprehensive management, planning, billing and communication processes in transport with the possibility of using a mobile app.
What’s MARK IV?
Software that automatically generates a yard division strategy that allocates to the individual elements for the storage of containers to be delivered to a specific destination.
The system can be operated on the basis of historical data (historical maximum for location data) as well as on virtual or forecast data.
In addition to volume data, the system also includes berths, used berths, assigned offshore cranes (STS) and associated blocks. On the basis of this data, the system develops a strategy for allocating the yard and the individual blocks to specific locations in order to maximize the efficiency of the offshore cranes (STS), i. e. to ensure a constant supply of containers from the individual blocks.
The allocation of seats to certain countries of destination presupposes that they are distributed as evenly as possible between the blocks on which the lifts are used for the zone in question. Assuming that each offshore crane operates on two blocks and is therefore operated by two block RTGs, the required performance can be achieved by alternating the STS power supply from one or the other of these RTGs.
Benefits of implementation
Minimization of lateral X-ray traffic during ship operation
Minimize the mixing of external (road) and own (terminal) trailers and reduce the number of horizontal terminals
Significant increase in productivity regardless of the size / type of container terminal
Optimum use of available shipyard slots, which may lead to an increase in capacity. Depending on the availability of the Yard slot, Mark IV offers three options for stacking POD
Allows planners to accept exceptions instead of routine planning
No negative impact of personnel changes, especially in the planning team
Improved maintenance planning
Mark IV optimizes the use of resources, resulting in significant direct and indirect savings in operating and maintenance costs. The cost savings are sustainable compared to one-off set-up fees and costs.
What does MARK IV offer?
MARK IV creates a stacking plan with a visual representation of the optimal deployment points for each container type based on service / POD / size for export and service, destination, size for road, rail or inland escape. All changes made by the customer to services, outlets, volumes, etc. or changes to the terminal infrastructure or equipment can be easily integrated and a new stacking plan can be created instantly.
The unique operational strategy integrated into MARK IV takes into account all available resources and provides an optimal stacking plan that completes the strategy in just a few steps. The plan is then entered into the TOS for execution to ensure efficient operation of the load. This can be done manually or via an automated interface to the TOS system.

Installation environment
Local server or cloud platform ?
Depending on your needs, we can install our system on a local server as well as on one of the most popular cloud platforms:
- AWS (Amazon)
- Azure (Microsoft)
- GCP (Google)
- Blunovation Enterprise Cloud
Windows czy Linux server?
We are able to install our BluSezam on every operating system and server specified by the customer.
Specification of the local server
Minimum
- Processor: 8 cores, intel i3
- Integrated graphics card
- Memory: 8 GB
- SSD: 200GB
Modularity of the BluSezam architecture
Many possibilities
BluSezam has a dozen modules that are based on a single system and have many inheritance features that make it easier to introduce users to the following system modules.
How to operate ?
BluSezam is a unified system with web architecture. Enables browser operation regardless of the operating system and used device.
End user equippment specification
Any device. Most operations are performed on a remote server. This allows us to assume that if your computer operates a web browser, it will be able to run the BluSezam system.
BluSezam licensing system
When purchasing the BluSezam system, the customer is obliged to buy a base instance BluSezam license together with the functional modules. Exceptions may be mobile app modules.
Two models of BluSezam system purchase possibilities:
- Perpetual license model – the right to use the product in the purchased version until the last day of the support expiration after implementation. In case of interest in implementation of a higher version of the product, an updated license for this module must be purchased.
- The SaaS (Software as a Service) is a software distribution model in which an application is stored and made available by the operator via the Internet. This eliminates the need to install and run the program in the customer environment.
Stages
Analyses
Our team of advisors will take comprehensive activities to understand in detail your company functioning processes. By creating the final preparation analysis document within the BluSezam modules listed in the offer, we show you where changes and enhancements need to be made as a result of adapting to the business process requirements. Mechanisms for integration into existing third party systems are also proposed.
It is worth mentioning that in the projects we run, all produced documentation as a result of the pre-implementation analysis is usually the main element defining the technical scope of the implementation agreement. This is the best for the budget and schedule of the project, providing the client with a reliable source of information and a very concrete plan for the automation and re-engineering processes as the next stages of the company’s development.
Installation
BluSezam operates in a client-server architecture. The system can be installed on both a physical server and a virtual machine. Client access is via web browser, also from a mobile device. The architecture of the individual modules of the BluSezam platform is designed to be easily adapted to the specific needs and characteristics of each company.
Service support
Blunovation guarantees the system for a period of 12 months from the date of signing the Final Acceptance Protocol for the BluSezam system. During and under the warranty, Blunovation will provide services to ensure the compliance of the BluSezam system in accordance with the technical and functional specification agreed with the client for the implementation project.
By default, we offer 24-hour technical support to all customers by providing technical solutions to the reported problem or resolving the reported problems within the agreed timeframe in accordance with the SLA terms.
We also conduct meetings with customers to improve the features / functionality of the system by looking for the best and most optimal solution; together with our client we carry out the enhancements or make necessary changes to the system.
