New in THE BRIDGE

Both functionally and architecturally, the platform has made significant progress. The latest developments focus on three main pillars: the continued expansion of RTLS, the introduction of a new authorization framework using OpenID Connect (OIDC), and the launch of the new Vehicle Booking System (VBS).

Integration of the Real Time Locations Services (RTLS) within THE BRIDGE has been significantly extended. In addition to the existing Yard Operator module, the new Yard Area Manager is now available. It enables users to create and edit stack areas, including mapping to the TOS. Yard Operator has also been enhanced with new features such as:

• A list view of all areas, with quick-add functionality for simple zones
• Inventory lookup: search for containers in the TOS and visually locate them on the map, provided the TOS area is known

The Archive module now also supports RTLS-specific data. Users can:

• Search and analyze units within the RTLS system
• Search work orders and view detailed histories of yard entities (if equipped with a Mobile Location Tracker)

In parallel, a new application has been launched: VmtDisplay. Running on the Vehicle Mounted Terminal (VMT) inside mobile equipment cabins, this app displays jobs according to the customer’s job-stepping process.

With the integration of OpenID Connect (OIDC), THE BRIDGE now supports external authentication systems such as enterprise identity providers (e.g., Azure AD), while retaining internal authentication as an alternative or fallback. The Users module has been redesigned and now includes:

• Support for both internal and external users
• Management of users, groups, and roles
• The ability to grant or restrict access for specific external accounts

The Profile module has also been updated. Users can now save personal settings, such as language preferences. External users also have access to the familiar solution and module filters.

THE BRIDGE now includes a fully developed Vehicle Booking System, designed to organize truck traffic in (inter)terminal environments. This solution is made up of several modules:

• Appointments: manage bookings
• Timeslots: configure time windows for appointments
• Resources: register trucks or other assets per customer
• Notifications: send dashboard alerts, emails, and app messages
• Find my unit: search and bookmark containers in the TOS

A separate mobile app was developed for truck drivers. It shows their appointment overview and guides them through the booking process. The app is available for both iOS and Android, and is customized per customer.

The 2025 roadmap confirms the platform’s continued growth. A new Maintenance module will centralize all available hardware statuses of Camco equipment, including a history view. Full ROS-ADI support will also be added to both Rail Operator and Archive.

Initial user feedback has been highly positive. Where Camco previously offered standalone systems, THE BRIDGE now brings them together in one integrated interface. This unified approach provides users with real-time insights across multiple terminals, regardless of device. THE BRIDGE is positioning itself as a catalyst for transformation in terminal operations.

THE BRIDGE is more than an interface – it's the central link between systems, users, and data. Four core principles define its added value:

Consolidated data

Information from multiple systems is brought together in a single, clear interface, giving users faster access to relevant data at the right time.

Best-in-breed approach

THE BRIDGE combines specialized applications into one coherent platform, without compromising on functionality or flexibility.

Controlled access

Roles and permissions are managed centrally. By restricting access to systems, sensitive data remains better protected.

Centralized maintenance visibility

All terminal equipment is monitored via a single interface, offering realtime visibility into status and maintenance needs.
