As of July 1, 2016, all containers for export will be required to undergo mandatory weight certification before being loaded onto vessels

The carriers incorpo-rate this data into their stowing plans and communicate the data to the terminal for spot checks

It is the shipper’s responsibility to bear any associated cost

It is the shipper’s responsibility to weigh the containers and provide the certified weight to the carrier

Containers with incorrectly declared weights or without any declared weight will not be loaded onto vessels, as of July 1, 2016

service portfolio

TALLY TECH collects all container weight data for the shipping industry, non-vessel operating container carriers (NVOCC), and freight forwarders through various automated programming interfaces (API), and converts this data to fit individual carriers’ systems. To do so, TALLY TECH employs a fail-safe, audit-proof, ISO-certified data center.

Thanks to TALLY TECH‘s collaboration with various parties that collect weighing data, we are able to communicate certified container weights to carriers through the terminal operating system (TOS), even shortly before loading onto the vessel. TALLY TECH is fully committed to shipping containers in compliance with all applicable rules and regulations.

For industries, manufacturers, and exporters with their own weighing equipment, TALLY TECH collects compliant and certified weighing data from enterprise research programs (ERP) and dispatch systems, and communicates the data directly, in a fully automated fashion, through our fail-safe and audit-proof data center, to all participants in the container logistics chain.

TALLY TECH weighing solutions, which operate with a tolerance of around 1%, allow our users to directly receive and communicate weighing data via the audit-proof TALLY TECH clearing and data center. This tool supports shippers and freight forwarders in declaring their cargo in a compliant manner and ensuring problem-free transportation.

TechnologYOur solution is a user-friendly way to communicate container weights that can be seamlessly integrated with your pre-existing processes. To achieve the higheststandards for security and compliance in data communication, TALLY TECH enables shippers to automatically share the weighing results for each container along the entire logistics chain.

TALLY TECH ensures that container weights are sent at the actual time when the containers are weighed and can therefore be fed automatically into the carriers’ stowing plans. The system is audit-proof and does not require any additional administrative effort.

Our interface technology prevents typing errors and the exchange of faulty weight data. In this way, TALLY TECH can secure shippers in the shipping process and provide certified data for everyone involved in container transportation.

Moreover, our software is available to you completely free of charge. You will not have to buy a license or pay for any applications or updates. The only fee charged is for transferring the weighing data to the carrier, which is market standard. You will therefore only pay for the data that you actually communicate.

RAVAS, a manufacturer and distributor of forklifts, has introduced iForks, the first entirely wireless weighing forks for any kind of forklift. Since all components of the system are completely integrated into the forks, iForks needs no wiring whatsoever and can be installed within minutes: just plug in and weigh! Any weight lifted by a forklift equipped with IForks can therefore be weighed easily and precisely.

The iForks Weight Indicator in the cabin displays the weight bearing on the forks and offers a complete range of functionalities: gross/net weighing, total weights per consignment, code entry, time and date recording, as well as a counting function. With the TALLY TECH app, the tare and the respective container number are added, completing the process.

With the upcoming implementation of the new SOLAS container weighing regulation, RAVAS and TALLY TECH offer an optimal weighing solution.

Following the weighing and matching process, the TALLY TECH app transfers the data to the server center where it is verified and then communicated to the respective shipping operator—all SOLAS compliant, of course.

Since all containers must be weighed well in advance of being loaded onto the ship, in order to guarantee the shipping operator’s timely stowage planning, CES, another of our partners, has developed a technical solution that meets all the requirements of any logistics chain.

Devised as a quick weighing system for the container chassis, the system records weights via the twist locks. The permanently installed scale, which can be retrofitted onto used chassis or delivered to fit new chassis, forwards exact weights to the TALLY TECH app in the tractor unit.

For the technology to work, a measuring slab equipped with sensors is attached onto the twist locks. This construction is robust enough to bear shocks, unbalanced loads, or road bumps. The slab is calibrated and certified for 13 months. A recalibration is due after 12 months and can be integrated into regular service intervals.

Automated Weighing System for Spreader (AWSP) offers an exact weighing solution by recording weight notes and the focal points of the container directly at the reach stacker. Via the TALLY TECH weighing app, the truck driver is supplied with precise information about the total weight of the container, as well as the weight distribution within it. The recorded weights are then matched with the container number and forwarded to the server center and then to the respective shipping operator. The whole process is certified and redundantly coded.

Available as supplementary equipment for new machines or as a retrofit kit for used machines, the LBS offers the perfect solution for an uncomplicated and swift weighing process. LBS works at the spreader of the reach stacker, which is complemented by measuring pins, offering a measuring accuracy of 99.8% to 99.9%. Assuming a total weight of 40 tons, the weight notes would allow a margin of error of just 40 to 80 kilograms.

The installation of the system is dependent on the respective machine and can be seamlessly integrated into your vehicle fleet and your pre-existing processes.

Practices & Certification

As is the case for all compliance-related topics, in the new SOLAS requirement, certification is key to secure the smooth shipment of your containers. Only TALLY TECH is able to provide a certifiable sequence for your data, through fully automated data capture, conversion, transmission and receipt. To make sure that you are compliant with SOLAS, TALLY TECH uses the following technologies:

APPLICATION COMPUTER APPLICATIONS

The TALLY TECH app transfers data with SSL encryption that meets

banking security standards.

To better integrate with your company’s processes, we have developed a .net client, as well

as a front-end website, to collect, process, and send your digitized

weighing data.

DATA CENTER

The TALLY TECH data center is ISO-certified and absolutely failsafe. This makes your data fully tamper-proof

and always accessible.

TALLY TECH Weighing App

The TALLY TECH weighing app generates a weight note for your export container, matching load and container number, as well as forwarding the information to the respective shipping operator. If you are weighing using Method 2, the recorded total weight is added to the container’s tare, resulting in a certifiable weight note.

The generated dataset is directly and automatically transferred to the TALLY TECH app and forwarded to the server center where the data is checked, verified, and communicated to the shipping operator—all SOLAS compliant.

22 23

TALLY TECH .net Client The TALLY TECH .net client enables you to generate SOLAS-compliant

weight notes directly from your system (e.g., SAP, ERP, TMS, etc.). The data can be completed and then transferred to the TALLY TECH server center, where it is checked, verified, and communicated to the shipping operator.

This way, we guarantee that your containers are exported without any complications.

The TALLY TECH client is easy to install and works with your Windows operating system. The application is accessible for all of our customers. Together with the TALLY TECH weighing app, you can record the respective container number into the app via QR code. After you receive the weight note, the data will automatically be forwarded to the TALLY TECH Clearing Center, from where it is transferred to the shipping operator.

All weight notes that have been processed by the shipping operator are receipted and confirmed within the app.
