Introduction
This publication TIC4.0 20222023.007 contains the following topics:
...
These definitions are part of TIC4.0’s ongoing work to develop a common vocabulary for the cargo handling industry and will be followed by future releases, as defined by the TIC4.0 Dataset Roadmap. The current list of definitions being worked on can be accessed on the digital platform of TIC4.0. This publication release provides the actual definitions and includes them in the TIC4.0 templates with the general approach on how to use these in Data Models, Data Schema's, JSON formats and provides high-level scenarios as examples.
1. TIC 4.0 scope
The purpose of TIC4.0 is to define a common language that can be represented in an understandable format, including data and information elements suitable for digitalization.
...
To apply the vocabulary in each entry in several digital protocols, a Data Schema is needed. TIC4.0 will propose a Data Schema for each of the most common protocols, but the Data Schema is compatible with any protocol. In the examples that are provided, TIC4.0 usually uses JSON as it is very user-friendly and easy to read.
2. Data Model
For the digital formatting of the Semantic and Dataset, we need a Data Model to structure the data and a Data Schema to define the details of the content such as the validity of the format, the type of data (boolean, entire, real etc.), which data is mandatory or could be omitted etc.
...
Following the semantic web standard (subject: object) the model has 3 main components: header, asset description and measurement.
...
SUBJECT creates the hierarchy tree structure (we have sub-subjects) that helps to identify the boundary of the value. The hierarchy is fixed by TIC4.0 for each kind of subject (CHE, TOS, Terminal) and can mix any type of subjects (e.g. machine.process = che.move). The subjects conform to an array defined by the (concept) metadata so various identical subjects but with different metadata (id or name or location or…) can be sent in the same message (one message with several CHE's or one CHE with several spreaders).
The CONCEPT'smetadata defines “what is” and the CONCEPT“what does”. Both are flat (no hierarchy, no arrays) and as many as necessary can be used. Additionally, two concepts can be combined with “and” or “or” creating a new concept which includes the condition that makes both true. For e.g. “hoisting_and_trolleying” represents the action of hoisting and trolleying at the same time (both statuses must be true).
OBSERVED PROPERTies define the “magnitude” of the CONCEPT, are flat (no hierarchy) and can be used as many times as necessary with a CONCEPT.
For each OBSERVED PROPERTies an array created by the combination of the different POINT OF MEASUREMENTs in time (actual, estimated, etc), place (input, iinput, ioutput, output), timestamps and the different Units will give an array (a list) of VALUEs. The array could be as long as necessary in each message. The length will depend on the relation between the data frequency and the message frequency and also the amount of different POINT OF MEASUREMENTs that need to be represented.
...
The Dataset is the content of the Data Model, a flat version without hierarchy or rules. The Dataset is used by humans but machines need the Data Model and the Data Schema to translate it to a digital format.

4. Definitions
In this release we defined the following elements:
Generic Definitions
Release | Definition | Link | Definition | TIC4.0 semantic |
|---|---|---|---|---|
2023.007 | Tandem | Operational mode to perform two payloads (containers) in one cycle with two spreaders ,each spreader is connected to a single container. Both containers (typically being 40ft long) are positioned in such a way that the long sides of the containers are facing each other. | CONCEPT | |
2023.007 | Quad | Operational mode to perform four payloads (containers) in one cycle with two spreaders in Twin Mode, each spreader is connected to two containers. All four containers are 20ft long and positioned in such a way that the short sides of the containers are facing each other on each spreader. | CONCEPT | |
2023.007 | ExtendingWidth | Operation performed by the subject in order to increase its width to a larger one. | CONCEPT | |
2023.007 | RetractingWidth | Operation performed by the subject in order to decrease its width to a smaller one. | CONCEPT |
Job Instruction
Release | Definition | Link | Definition | TIC4.0 semantic |
|---|---|---|---|---|
2023.007 | Assigned | Assigned Concept (status) is "True" only when the subject in charge of executing an order is defined. | CONCEPT | |
2023.007 | Not Dispatched | “Not Dispatched“ concept (status) is true when the order is not acknowledged by any subjects (not sent or cancelled). | CONCEPT | |
2023.007 | Dispatched | “Dispatched“ concept (status) is true when any order is acknowledged by any subject (sent and not cancelled). | CONCEPT | |
2023.007 | Moving To Collect | Concept (status) that describes the action to move (displace) and/or trolleying (positioning the spreader) as made by the subject (CHE) that is going to perform an order type cargo from wherever it is to the “laden or queuing” location (X,Y origin position of the cargo, not including Z). | CONCEPT | |
2023.007 | Queuing To Collect | Concept (status) that describes the action to wait for the interlocks or sequence made by the subject (CHE) that is going to perform an order type cargo between the Moving to Collect and Ready to Collect activities. | CONCEPT | |
2023.007 | Ready to Collect | Concept (status) that describes the action to be performed by the subject (CHE) to execute an order (action type cargo), at the “laden” start location (origin position of the cargo) to pick up the cargo. It starts when the subject (CHE) arrives at the location of the cargo and ends when the cycle starts the laden phase (the cargo is picked). Usually, this action is related to the locking activities (hoist down and spreader locking). | CONCEPT | |
2023.007 | Moving To Deliver | Concept (status) that describes the action to move (displace) and/or trolleying (positioning the spreader) as made by the subject (CHE) laden (locked) while performing an order type cargo from the “laden” start location (X,Y origin position of the cargo, not including Z) to the Waiting To Deliver area or Ready To Deliver transfer zone. | CONCEPT | |
2023.007 | Queuing to Deliver | Concept (status) that describes the action to wait for the interlocks or sequence made by the subject (CHE) that is going to perform an order type cargo between the Moving to Deliver and Ready to Deliver activities and it is already in proximity of the “laden end location”, but didn’t reach it yet | CONCEPT | |
2023.007 | Ready To Deliver | Concept (status) that describes the action that is going to be performed by the subject (CHE) to execute an order (action type cargo), at the “laden” end location (end position of the cargo) to drop the cargo. It starts when the subject (CHE) arrives at the end location of the cargo and ends when the cycle ends the laden phase (the cargo is delivered or dropped). Usually, this action is related to the unlocking activities (hoist down and spreader unlocking). | CONCEPT |
