System Optimisation
From hard coded buttons to a dynamic routing module…
Project Goals
As the port expands hard-coded route buttons are added exponentially.
► Technical Goal: Design a dynamic routing system
Operations and management need to keep track of material and therefore the routes need to be recorded.
► Business Goal: Design a routing module which interfaces with the current Material Tracking System (MTS)

Project Summary
“It’s like using your GPS…enter start and end destinations and it will find the shortest route.”
“It’s so much better than all those buttons that you had to search through to find a route”
