The agility of terminal operating and management systems is paramount to success for the terminal operator. Advent’s Middleware product offers a unique solution that allows terminal operators to have a highly configurable and scalable Middleware centered among the application integration architecture. Advent’s Middleware enables the marine terminal operator to evaluate and/or implement automation solutions with minimal development effort while avoiding expensive and time consuming customization of commercially off the shelf automation systems.

New advances in RTLS, RFID, OCR and Robotics are requiring terminal operators’ IT departments to spend critical time building interfaces between their automation tools and terminal operating systems. At the core of Advent’s Middleware is a robust and sophisticated messaging and business rule engine allowing users to seamlessly interface with Position Detection Systems, Optical Character Recognition Systems, Terminal Operating Systems, as well as future applications.

Advent’s Middleware gives you the flexibility to choose specific messaging modes, depending on the third-party application capabilities. MS technologies, coupled with standard work flow and optional custom business rule engines, are harnessed together to yield high availability and streamlined performance for these mission critical terminal operations.
