Accession Number: 00485241
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The Intermodal Container Transfer Facility (ICTF) in Long Beach, California, is a fully automated, state of the art facility, built by Southern Pacific in conjunction with the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles in response to the growing needs of their many international customers. The ICTF is the largest rail container facility in the world. One of its many challenges was inventory control. The dynamic parking scheme of the ICTF was designed to be operated with a real time computerized inventory system, conceived by the SP to utilize their existing TOPS/TCC systems integrated with slot monitors and a mobile inventory system. The SP's terminal inventory system at the ICTF sets the industry standards for maintaining a real time inventory and a managerial resource.
