Ports Australia Biennial Conference 2026
Your asset information, all in one place.
Your terminal runs machines from a dozen different manufacturers, each one keeping its operating data to itself. JLT Insights is the layer that gets it all speaking one language, so it lands in one place — your asset information, ready to use.
Your port already has the data. It just doesn't share a language.
Every reach stacker, forklift, prime mover and crane on the hardstand is producing operating data right now. The problem was never collection — it's that each machine reports in its own format, to its own vendor's system, on its own terms. Nothing lines up, so nothing can be compared.
- Machine telemetryOEM-specific
- Impact and safety eventsoften not logged
- Battery and energy useper-vendor portal
- Location and movementseparate system
- Device and app healthIT, not operations
- Wireless coverageonly visible after a failure
Not another dashboard. The layer in between.
One terminal. Many equipment manufacturers. JLT vehicle-mount computers provide a common device layer across your port assets. JLT Insights collects what's happening in your mobile assets and delivers it in a consistent, usable format.
- collects
- adds context
- normalises
- surfaces patterns
From there it goes where it's useful — your TOS, maintenance planning, safety review, analytics. Which data points are available, and how they reach your systems, depends on the fleet, the devices fitted and the scope you agree.
One data point, no matter who built the machine.
Integrations at the top of the stack inherit whatever machine vendors choose to expose. Starting at the device layer avoids that entirely.
It's already installed
No new hardware programme, no retrofit across the fleet. The computers doing this are the ones your operators are already using every shift.
It doesn't care who built the machine
A JLT unit in a reach stacker and one in a forklift report the same way. Mixed fleet, mixed vintage, mixed supplier — same output.
It sees the network too
Coverage gaps, access point performance and connectivity drop-outs sit alongside the machine data, not in a separate IT report.
Pick one operational question. Not all of them.
The pilots that work aren't the ones that try to connect everything. They start with a question someone in the terminal actually needs answered.
Which units are about to fail?
Device health and diagnostics, read early enough to schedule around rather than react to.
Where do impacts keep happening?
Impact events set against time and location, so recurring risk shows up as a pattern.
What's actually working, and what's idle?
Usage and movement across the fleet, including the assets nobody thought to question.
Why does it drop out at that corner?
Connectivity data from the machines themselves, mapped against where they were standing.
Can our TOS use any of this?
A scoped assessment of which device-layer data could reach your operating systems, and how.
Where is the charge going?
Battery and energy behaviour per asset, comparable across a fleet that charges differently.
One format — agreed by the industry, not invented by us.
The value of a common data language only holds if it's a language other systems already speak, without being locked to a particular vendor.
- What PAS 4000 is
- A published BSI specification defining a shared vocabulary for cargo-handling data.
- Who is behind it
- Sponsored by TIC 4.0, the terminal industry's standards body, with terminal operators and technology vendors on the steering group.
- What it changes
- Comparability between assets, interoperability between systems, and less dependence on any one supplier's format.
- What it doesn't do
- It sets the grammar, not the full vocabulary. Metrics still have to be mapped to an agreed dictionary for your terminal.
Five steps, one question, a few weeks.
A pilot isn't a proof-of-concept for the whole platform. It's a scoped answer to the one question you picked above — small enough to run properly, real enough to trust.
Define
Choose one question worth answering.
Identify
Map the machines, devices and data points involved.
Configure
Set up the views, queries and alerts to test it.
Evaluate
Check the data holds up and the answer is usable.
Decide
Document what worked, what didn't, and what's next.
Come and tell us what your machines aren't telling you.
We're exhibiting at the Ports Australia Biennial Conference. Bring the asset, the system or the blind spot you've been trying to get visibility on — that's the conversation we both want to have.
