Container process flow visualization by spatial location technologies

With the development of domestic economy and international trade, the containerization is playing an important role in the industries. Its function is extended from the transport unit and storage devices. The container process is becoming a critical aspect of business process flow. By the modern information technologies, it is possible to visualize the container process flow for the business management and control. This paper studies the modeling and visualization issue of it and proposes the spatial location model considering the time and space dimensionalities in container processes. Finally, a decision support framework is proposed to incorporate the various visualization technologies. The study will help to build management and control system for container process flow as a concrete framework of solution.
