On 28 June 2015, YICT and the China Hewlett-Packard Company (CHP) held a joint ceremony at YICT to mark the successful completion of the Challenge 2,000 programme, under which YICT's terminal operating system achieved 2,000 days of unimpeded service. This beat the system’s previous record of 1,000 consecutive days of operation without experiencing any unplanned system downtime.
The Challenge 2,000 programme, part of the Challenge Non-stop programme, kicked off on 6 January 2010. In October 2013, YICT accomplished the Challenge 1,000 programme, which enabled its terminal operating systems to function non-stop for a period of 1,000 days. With its continuous pursuit of improvement in the three elements of “People, Process and Technology”, YICT is able to maintain a best-in-class operating system.
As one of the busiest container terminals in the world, YICT has gained strong momentum with its cutting-edge terminal operating system. The success in the Challenge 2,000 programme is further testament to the high reliability, stability and efficiency of the terminal’s IT applications. The programme has supported the development of YICT’s terminal operations, enabling the company to further enhance its competitiveness in the port industry.
